AContinue using the chamber but monitor the cracks
BRepair the cracks with an approved adhesive
CCage the spring and reinforce the housing
DReplace the spring brake chamber

✓ Correct answer: D. Replace the spring brake chamber The non-pressure housing of a spring brake chamber contains a powerful compressed spring. Any cracks in this housing present a serious safety hazard as the housing could fail catastrophically. The chamber must be replaced immediately, not repaired, as these components are not serviceable.
