Quite informative, thanks a lot. Thanks to your video, I changed all 4 wheels of a NM gold Dodge Charger, using lower value wheel donors. It went well, but I had to modify the tune up wrench first (I had the one on the left, visible at 02:00 in your video. I changed it into one looking exactly like the one on the right).
Great video lot of excellent info. Here's a tip for adding that sewing machine oil to the axle. Get a very small paintbrush with a fine tip (bet you already have one). Put the oil on brush and you can have a lot more control where you want that drop going. Have you ever seen a film on how Hot Wheels peened the end of their axles with the bearings installed?
This solution is tempting, car is better looking afterwards indeed, yet it is counter-productive in terms of resell value. This chrome touch up will deter high-end collectors, who will consider that the car has been tampered with. Of course if we're talking bearing or cap wheels, a change of wheel and problem is gone, but if you do that on a straight thru axle...
Jim, I appreciate your videos very much. I couldn’t help but notice that the purple Ferrari has, “Raised Door Lines(RDL.) I was wondering if you did that on purpose. 👍🏻❤️🏎

Thank you so much I have some redlines to restore so that is super helpful thank you for sharing
You're welcome!
Helpful indeed
Thank you
Happy Hotwheelin'
Very cool, thanks for sharing 👍
Fantastic information
Glad you liked it
I've noticed years back that the US axles are thicker than the HK axles, so the HK axle "Tip" end tends to pop off if not careful. :-)
Good to know!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Great video good information.
Thank you!
Excellent video!
Thank you Joe

TYVM
You're welcome anytime@@redlinecollectibles
I have re-chromed my wheels with a fine tipped pen. They actually look pretty good.
I used a chrome pen back in the day.

Yes that is true,but I intend to keep my cars for a while.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@Gustavo-kn9nf YOU ARE 100% RIGHT

Thank you for your kind words. To be honest, I don't recall the purpose of choosing the RDL example.
What options do you have if the axle tip on a Hong Kong HW breaks off 😞
Thanks for the tutorial! Is there a way to replace the bearing?
If the bearing is stuck in the wheel, it's tough to remove, but can be done. Need a bearing? Take one off an axle of a disassembled casting.
@@redlinecollectibles I think what he meant was how to get the bearing over the peened part of the axle.

@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz I've never got a bearing over the preened part of the axel
@@redlinecollectibles yeah didn't think there was a way it'd have to be ground down a bearing added and the axle peened again.
Are those wheels rubber or plastic? The black tyres part
Redline wheels are plastic
Oh my god, the audio and this is so quiet
