Overview

Servicing a Meritor type automatic slack adjuster without the right tool turns a quick job into a fight, and improvised tooling on an adjusting mechanism is how a good adjuster becomes a replaced adjuster. This Slack Adjuster Release Tool Set distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires is the purpose-built answer: a release tool plus a 5/16in double square wrench, both sized for Meritor type automatic slack adjusters. Manufactured by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications and built for daily shop use, this set is stocked heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse for lightning-fast shipping to fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

The Right Tool for the Adjuster: The Meritor Type Release Tool Set Advantage

Two pieces, and both of them are specific to the job. The release tool is what lets the automatic mechanism be released so the adjuster can be worked instead of forced. The 5/16in double square wrench is the matching drive - a double square, not a hex, sized at 5/16in for the Meritor type adjusters this set was built to service. Buying the two together matters, because a shop that owns only one of them ends up improvising the other, and improvising on an automatic slack adjuster is where the damage starts.

This is a shop tool built for daily use, not a one-time special. At 0.6 lbs the whole set rides in a service cart or a road-service box without taking up room, so it is there for the annual inspection, for the PM, and for the roadside adjustment that has to happen right now on the shoulder. Any shop or owner-operator servicing Meritor type automatic slack adjusters is better off with one of these per bay than one per building, because the tool that is three benches away is the tool that does not get used.

At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we know the tool is half the job. There is no cross-reference maze on this one - order the set by its Automann distributor number, 579.1075, and it ships fast from Illinois alongside the slack adjusters it was made to service.
