Parking brake knob - Tom Warner - 05-24-2005 14:01 Ernie the easiest way to replace the park brake valve is to remove the trim on the bottom dash and pull the dash up far enough to remove the valve. NAPA has them. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 07:25 PM 5/24/2005 -0400, you wrote: >perhaps a skinny teenager that doesn't have to wear bi-focals?

Parking brake knob - Tom Warner - 05-24-2005 15:10 Ernie some of the BB (like my 1982 FC35) did not have 2 microswitches to turn off the air at the open and closed position. As a result it just keeps leaking until your wet tank pressure is zero. Tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY is At 10:21 PM 5/24/2005 -0400, you wrote: >great idea, Tom. I'll pass that along.

The hard part is swinging the wrenches, a crow's-foot tubing wrench on a short extension makes it work. Opening the front panel doesn't help, you can barely see it from the front. Similarly, opening the top of the dash gives a good view of the valve, but the fittings are on the bottom & side. Leave the dash in IMO. - Jeff Miller --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, randydupree > is it easier if you open the front panel? randydupree93wb Parking brake knob - jon lechich - 05-26-2005 12:29 Jeff where can I just locate the knob that goes on the shaft that opperates the air brake? Right now I just have a shaft and a D ring and that's it. Can you help me?
