Bowen Transport Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Our Freightliner has dic breaks and one of the cans is busted. We can’t get the bolt in to cage it. It literally looks like it blew up in there. We have the new can but can’t figure out how to pin the broke one to replace it. We’ve tried, for an hour! Any advice?
