On every set of 30/30 brake chambers I've had, you take the TEE bolt from the side of the chamber, open the rubber plug in the spring chamber, and use the supplied TEE bolt to retract and cage the spring so that you can tow the trailer or service the brake mechanical components without air.

I suppose they could have caged the spring brake, ... really really stupid if so.
