Would adding friction paste in place of the grease actually create a more durable long term setup? Lessened potential for bushing spin

How has it performed in preventing corrosion on the underbody?

good job thank you!

I put my money on that little hand held tool any day. The other one is crap and requires too much

When assembling, why not assemble hot and cold parts? :-)TSC

I've used Bilt Hamber products for over a decade & you can see why they win awards constantly.

brilliant!

I have Nolathane Poly bushes that I installed into the lower control arms of my Land Rover LR3. I wrapped the steel core with teflon tape and greased them before install. It's been 3 years of daily driving and so far no squeaks. I did not grease the polyurethane bushings like seen in this video as the manufacturer states that the polyurethane is meant to be fixed and only the steel core is supposed to rotate.

Hi. Sorry for question. Is ti absolutely necessary put the jack under the engine? I can see that the stabiliser mount do not support the engine weight. Thank you

I can't believe how compact light it feels am going after 2005 model I been riding my st 1100 so sitting on vtr felt so diffrent

What an amazing sound❤❤.....i would be driving all day 😂😂

I can't find one of those tools for a length of 8mm pipe anywhere 🤔

Nice video you saved my time and money thanks

I love the stif ride but im over those squeeky poly bushings. That sound is embarrassing when driving in my Condo building.

Bought an 02 in 2004 from Bill Heads Preston, still have the bike, pure magic!

Thanks for that Rick. I took my sill covers off, thats a bit of a pane. I don't know if you did a video of that? My sills had a lot of rust and needed a lot of welding. Thats all been done but I've lost the holes on the underneath, so the welding guy said use SS self tappers and washers. The sills are going to paint sprayers soon, but I have to do a couple of little repairs first to a couple of minor cracks, so this video is just what I needed as I was dreading it, but now I've seen the video, I'm more confident in putting them back on. So thanks very much.Your car is a gorgeous 😍 and is a tribute to you for the work you've done.

Hello Rick. Nice video. Just a question: Why didn't you use the same injection rail polishing method to polish the intake ducts? Thanks

whats the music thats playing

This is the most awesome looking Engine and u brought it back to showroomshine. Well done , u can be real proud. Greetings from Germany. It looks like Art

This was a great video, went out and bought one - it didn’t seal at the main bottle cap - called manufacturer who said they were aware of bad batches and they would send one - long story short I never got the replacement, I bought a second kit and it was obviously from the same batch - the makers didn’t take any details about where I bought it so they’re not recallling these - I would advise using the StreetWize kits which look almost identical but worked for me 1st time unlike this Gunson kit.

Just noticed your red floor mats that look pretty close to the original carpet. Mind sharing where you got those? I had some custom made, but the colour is way off and they look terrible. Yours seem to be quite close to the red on the carpet.

Nice nice bike bro....

Yeah, I had a master mechanic that tried to take me for a ride. Tried to tell me that it was a $1500 fix when it was only grease needing to be added to a bushing.

Used ptfe on my mini and 100 miles in squeaking like hell

You can tell a guy really loves his tools when he gives them a coat of lacquer too 😅 Nice job!

Wouldn't bother with the tape.....just roughen up the surface with scotchbrite.....

Interesting. I'll have to give this a try. I have better luck unrolling the Teflon tape the other way. Easier for me to keep tension.

So glad I watch this before opening the plastic packaging of the “bad” flare tool I bought.

Rick we’re are you ?

The best looking car ever.stood in time like a champ and keep destroying all the ugly without characters modern cars

Brilliant video, clearly explained, thank you

Really good video thanks Very helpful and well made

Just bought my 2nd tin of s50 it's perfect for inner box sections and door seams.

Fantastic, congratulations!

Amazing detail. Thanks very much for a very, very well made video. Appreciate your time and effort.

Thanks, cleared up a brain fog for me.

I am glad you added the grade 8 bolt information as some kits do not include them. Plus, good grease info. I see were folks are complaining of a squeak noise frequently! A good PTFE silicone grease is supplied and recommended but other brands work well. Yes, this means you must read the instructions, warnings (Do not eat or squirt in eye balls) but, hey, someone this minute is buying a gallon of milk that expires tomorrow! Yum on my cereal, with a splash in my coffee. Dag Nabbit, just at the store and forgot the TP!

Hi, thanks for your incredible videos! Can you write down the part code of the part you replaced. I have the 12v engine. Some of the links are not valid. Thanks again for the job you made.

Hi, im trying to fit a polly bush on a torque bar on my volvo t5, it claims to be the correct part for my car but it seems just a bit to big, so I'm wondering is it the wrong part or I need to really press it in/freeze it ect

Ahh miss you Rick when you coming back on ?

I'm glad I found this video, I'm trying to do a small lift on my Jeep Cherokee and I had learned that Poly bushings require a lot of maintenance and they're not as flexible but I figured using them in the leaf springs wouldn't be a bad idea, besides the maintenance to keep them from squeaking, I hope this video will work out for me.

if the poly bushes are made correctly , the polybushes and the outer sleeve are the only things that rotate. if you hear squeaks, that means that the bush length is larger than the inner sleeve length. that is what makes squeaks. the correct way is the bush and the outer sleeve to rotate as one. if the inner sleeve length is smaller than the length of the bushing itself , you will have friction and not a very smooth up and down movement. Finally the inner length of a two part poly bush should leave a small gap between them inside the outer sleeve and in that gap you need a grease fit to eject grease regularly. these bushings that you use, are wrongly made. You can clearly see the length of the bushing being larger than the length of the inner tube-sleeve. powerflex makes this mistakes all the time that is why i no longer buy them. and not only that, but they use a mesh type of design inside the bushing , to help keep the grease inside , instead of a hexagone design for the hole of the polybushes for the inner tube instead of a cylindrical design, which will leave bigger gaps for the grease to remain inside. hope this helps.

I wish I'd seen this a couple of weeks ago! I concur that the Sealey type of flare kit is rubbish, the flares are wonky 99% of the time. The Blackline tool looks way better!

any link for the small bender it's gone from ebay.

really nice!

Hi Rick nicely presented video, but although you've added in the comments the advisory regarding SAE and ISO/DIN, editing in a piece to camera or a screen cation would help clear up any confusion.

Glad to hear it was your first bike, almost certainly going to be picking one up (also from a good friend funnily enough) as a first bike. Superhawk this side of the pond in bright yellow and really looking forward to getting out there. Such a cool bike, fits the "middle of the road" niche excellently. Hope yours is still treating you well!

Now you have done that much arecyou going to replace the waterpump and cambelt?

Hi Rick, thanks very much for the very clear detailed videos. They are helping a lot. The adjustment itself looks very simple so I wondered if you could actually do it in situ by removing the top bolt and slackening off the bottom bolt and swinging the shock outboard to make the adjustment? Might not be room to do that but just thought I would ask? Cheers. Gordon

Try holding tape the other way around when applying. It keeps tape tight on dispenser
