This \u003cstrong\u003eSlack Adjuster Release Tool Set\u003c\/strong\u003e distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires is the purpose-built answer: a \u003cstrong\u003erelease tool\u003c\/strong\u003e plus a \u003cstrong\u003e5\/16in double square wrench\u003c\/strong\u003e, both sized for \u003cstrong\u003eMeritor type automatic slack adjusters\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Right Tool for the Adjuster: The Meritor Type Release Tool Set Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pieces, and both of them are specific to the job. The \u003cstrong\u003erelease tool\u003c\/strong\u003e is what lets the automatic mechanism be released so the adjuster can be worked instead of forced. The \u003cstrong\u003e5\/16in double square wrench\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a shop tool \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt for daily use\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a one-time special. At \u003cstrong\u003e0.6 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003eMeritor type automatic slack adjusters\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; 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, \u003cstrong\u003e579.1075\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it ships fast from Illinois alongside the slack adjusters it was made to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shop tool set uses a universal design intended for the following commercial applications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake\/Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal - any truck or trailer running Meritor type automatic slack adjusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meritor type automatic slack adjusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release tool and 5\/16in double square wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for daily shop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brake System \/ Slack Adjusters \u0026amp; Camshafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Replacement \u0026amp; Cross-Reference Numbers:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrder this slack adjuster release tool set by its Automann distributor number:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomann Distributor #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 579.1075\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slack Adjuster Release Tool Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meritor type automatic slack adjusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release tool and 5\/16in double square wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dims:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.812 x 4.812 x 1.656 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-Year FleetPro Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 889626259296\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fleet Standard Aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automann (Distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Automann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43024029810759,"sku":"579.1075","price":35.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/8035\/2583\/files\/image_1920_eb432eb6-4036-46f7-92eb-f558f962cc19.jpg?v=1785427712","url":"https:\/\/fleetpropt.com\/products\/slack-adjuster-release-tool-set-meritor-type-with-5-16in-double-square-wrench-579-1075","provider":"FLEETPRO PARTS \u0026 TIRES ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
