    Did you attach the joists from the outside of the 12 foot foundation? Or did you just rely on the joist hangers for the attachment to the 12 foot sides?

  • @voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885
    @voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 18 днів тому

    If you just had unscrewed those end 10 feet so the 12 foot was on the outside of the 10 feet horizontals - would that have fixed your 10 foot joist problem? I think so. Would have saved you the time of having to cut them all? OK that's precisely what you did! thanks

    Great job on the video series and the cabin build! 😀🪚 I am building the same cabin and it is helpful to watch and learn from your build. I like how you adjusted the height of your loft and allowed for open space up there. It looks much more comfortable now. I also like the brown tinted tufftex you chose. It looks great with the wood.

    I’m watching videos because I’m planning to build a tent platform in my back yard. I have so much time invested already and haven’t bought the first item. Well, except for the tents. I am wondering about preserving the wood to protect it from water damage. My platform will be 10 x 16. I have a Pomoly hot tent stove so I need enough space so I don’t have to worry about catching anything on fire and still fit the grandkids in there with me. But thank you for all the thoughts, mistakes, redos to save me from enduring the same frustration. Very nice deck. I’m hoping mine looks as good!

    How did ya fix the issue of the hub pushing out the rear seal? Did you end up with inner race issues from pressing on it? Seems like ya need a seat that holds both outter and inner bearing. Yet the clearance there needs a tapered seat. Thanks for the video! Just trying to remedy running into the loose hub install.

    • @philbrown5722
      @philbrown5722 5 місяців тому

      It's been quite a while since I did that job. I do remember making the mistake pushing the bearing in, but I'm still driving it and it hasn't been a problem so I guess it was okay. I think the key is to make sure your press is set up to be pushing on the right part of the bearing (the outer race when pushing it in.)

    Good effort and tenacity, screw the inevitable haters at the end of the comments, too. Just pinging in or staking the hub to the axle or whatever, is the only main critique I have, in a friendly nice tone. I only know from other videos I have watched. Also, using pb blaster on the big long 14 mm nut you couldn't get out by itself, seems to fix the issue, instead of WD40. And then lastly, I guess you made it work, but I came here looking for which press kit to use, I have both on my Amazon wishlist, but I feel like the rear kit would have been better hear since it was a rear wheel bearing, but maybe it doesn't matter. The rear kit is like $30 and the front $76 or something. Just my 2 cents. I am going to attempt the job myself in about a month, just researching a lot beforehand. Oh and I am also going to use a seal puller for the seals, and yes, use lots of grease. Good game and keep at it bro, positive energy to you!!

    Hey man, i’ve been using your video to do this job on my 2000 forester and your video has helped a ton. I got the hub out and got the outer arm down (the one that doesn’t have the weird cover over the nut/the same one you were able to get loose) but i cant seem to move the drum/ wheel assembly enough to get the axle out. I’ve tried getting the infamous long bolt out but i was only able to get the nut off of it. Was there anything else you did to get the long bolt out of the knuckle or did you just pull it out with the strut/outer arm attatched to the bolt? Anything helps thanks!

    • @philbrown5722
      @philbrown5722 11 місяців тому

      Oh boy, it's been a while. I definitely did not get the long bolt out. I was able to get the hub to move enough to remove the axle with the one arm disconnected from under the middle of the car, and the other disconnected at the knuckle... I think.

      @@philbrown5722 And 1 more question (sry). At 39:52 you put the bolt back in to the knuckle; to get it out did you just hammer it out from the other side when your camera died?

    • @philbrown5722
      @philbrown5722 11 місяців тому

      Yeah, still running that bearing and it seems fine. I think you're talking about the long bolt? I never got it all the way out. It remained trapped in the rear bushing. However, it came out of the front one, and that's all I needed. Basically, you've got two lower control arms coming down that have to be disconnected either at the body or the knuckle (where the long bolt is.) I got the rear one disconnected at the body (failed at the long bolt), and the front one disconnected from the end of the long bolt (I wasn't able to get that front body bolt).

  • @Rhaspun

    Thanks for the video. This is a useful video. Your model of faucet is the same as mines. But mines is an older version from 2003. I just replaced my hot water cartridge. I had to do it by myself but when I looked at the video I could see two flat sides on the brass body of the faucet. My faucet has it but the only difference is that I have a big thin nut holding the faucet body to the sink. You actually put a wrench on flat part of the brass body when you were loosening the cartridge out of the faucet body. Since I was by myself I had to figure out how to hold the brass body without damaging it or the threads for the nut. It took a bit of time to figure out a procedure to hold a wrench to the two flat sides on the body and using a 5/8 socket with a ratchet to loosen the cartridge but I got it done. I didn't need to pull out the faucet body. If I had someone to help me with this job it could easily be done in less than 10 minutes. I would need someone on top with the socket to loosen the cartridge and then torque the new one in while I'm under the sink holding the brass faucet body with a wrench. Another video does it that way. The cartridge was easy enough to loosen since I was using a longer ratchet. Oh yeah, I had to replace the shut off valves. I could barely move the handles on the valves. So I bought two 1/4 turn stop valves and replace both of them since I will replace the cold faucet cartridge later this week.

    Moogs (ball joints) on my '12 Ram 2500 are on their second set, in about 50k miles, and that's after trying the AAM specifics for my model. These trucks are notorious for eating them. That's after only having the stock suspension, then coil spacers to level, then to full on coil level kit. I won't buy anything Moog until they get back to making good parts. I don't tear up my stuff, so lesson learned on getting quality parts. Going to try Dana/Spicer this month. The best thing to do though is get a heavy duty track bar. I've had death wobble before w/ family in the truck and wife wants to sell it. Haven't had it since changing over to a BD Diesel Track bar. Thing is stout!

    I never saw you stake the axle nut! You need to take a chisel(not a screwdriver) and peen the locking ring f the axle nut into the groove of the axle. Otherwise, you’re going to be doing this job again, except you’ll also be replacing the CV axle assembly too. The splines in the hub and on the axle will get ground down once the nut gets loose…
