Air Brake Leaking

[barkster]

after I turn my truck off and have the spring brake set I can hear a small air leak on my back right air brake. It is leaking at location in picture. Could this be a seal or diaphragm? The brake is holding but wasn't sure if this was part of the spring brake or the air brake which was leaking. I assume the spring brake?? Safe to drive? Thanks

Yea no worries. Just make sure the caging key is in good shape and it locks in with a quarter turn before you tighten the jam nut. Then just handle like its a loaded gun and don't point it at yourself or loved ones and all will be fine.

Seriously, get someone that's done it to help you the first time. If handled incorrectly it will literally kill you dead.
