If you have manual slack adjusters, you push in the collar and turn clockwise, if automatic slack adjuster it depends on the manufacturer of slack adjuster. You want the brake fully released , on spring brake chambers(maxi anchorlock or ehatever you call it in your neck of the woods)the parking brake must be released.Maximum push rod stroke measurements depend on brake chamber size and if chamber is long stroke or std. BTW max stoke on type 30 is 2''.If you have wedge brakes you want them adjusted enought to see the shoes move when you apply and release brakes and still have wheels turn free.I suggest you find someone in your area who knows air brakes and have them look over your truck and ashow you or post back with particulars. Hope This Helped. JK
