I was stood talking with your dad today at our depo 😅 I pulled up and jumped out the van and it's only the professional strugglers dad 😂 small world! Hes a pleasure to speak too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Salt of the earth our old man mate 😊 the very best person you could ever meet💯 and that’s a fact, cheers Conor mate 👌
I didn’t know you liked SAF axels so much that’s brilliant to know as we have a fleet of trailers well 50 to be precise all with SAF axles we can’t find anyone to work on them so will give you a call 😂😂
I got to tell you Chris, I am a mobile hgv mechanic inspired to go out on my own by you. I was filling out my diary last night trying to watch this at the same time, minding my own business, my little 4 year old Penelope sat beside me and out of nowhere she asked what day it was tomorrow, I said Friday and in a short time she shouted out it’s FRIDAYYY WOOP WOOP well talk about doubled up in stitches I was thanks for giving us another laugh as always
That lever you didn't know what it was is a TELMA brake it works with electric magnets on the prop shaft i had one on a 8wheel tipper when you used it at night all ya lights went dim 😂😂
Bloody good show Chris i can remember when it where £1.20 a beer 🍺😂Now its a bloody rip off. I make me own 😂😂
Always got a smile on his face does Chris he really is the unstoppable struggler machine
Bloody good show 👏
Awesome video thanks struggler don't work too hard mate 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌞😉🔧🛠️🚛🚜🤑🤠
Afternoon Chris…..it’s nearly thirsty Thursday….great to see the Church Hall Floor fund is already at £1700.00….mega….👍😜👌🇮🇲🍺
That lever on the Volvo probably used to be connected to a Telma retarder, big heavy magnetic unit would have been between gearbox and diff, used to be common on coaches before internal gearbox design like we have now
Another job well done Chris.. fair play to ya, your not shy of hard graft! Were a dying breed.. 👍🏻💰
Some graft put in there Chris fair play 👊🫡
Bloody good struggle 👍 can't beat the good old times 👍👍bet you didn't struggle drinking the fosters 😂😂keep the struggles coming 💪💪💪
Excellent video Chris 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🍺
your very patient with your customer watching your every move
Well done guys fantastic job done take care all..🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍😂🤣😂🤣
Hi Chris. Apart from having to drill some nuts at least the hubs came of better than they usually do. Always done properly. And the off course the old stories that why we love your channel Chris. 👍
Afternoon are chris. Hope you and the family are well 🎉🎉
Few presents for you 🤗
Atleast you're not lying in puddles at the minute 🤗👍🇮🇪
Afternoon Chris, I watched the official video on UA-cam from SAF, showing how to change their drums and discs.
The bloke never even had a hammer and there was no swearing !
Lots of expensive looking special tools though.
I bet it was all brand new & never been hot...lol...
I watched it too and learnt a lot about specialist tools etc and torque.
What SAF should do is make a new video when an operator has a seized nut scenario and see how they deal with the procedure.
That said I watch a recent video when a fitter just rattled it off with an inch drive milwaukee cordless
Cracking video bloody good show Chris 🚛💨
Just a thought Chris, now that the Welderfabber has branched out on his own, will you and Bazz be meeting up again?
From one struggler to another another great video was always Chris and leadag and family 👍
fantastic show just knacked watching you
Bloody good show Chris!!
Just watched your video in Tenerife waiting for my flight home.
See you on the next one....
YEH I will!!!😂
Awesome video Chris you’re one hell of a hard working man like your buddies. 👏👍🇨🇦💕
That was really nice of Ian to send you that box of stuff I would of donated to the church floor but i don't get anything till the 17 th but if the link still there as because you asked I will mate AL loves hes fancy lights you hate them saf axles but you fixed one again you love the struggle don't you mate 🤠🍺🍻
Watching the time-lapse is basically you smacking thing with a hammer 😂😂 great videos
Well done Chris and Dan Bloody good show guys
Bloody good show whoop whoop
Hello Chris I am a 54 year old hgv struggler in France (originally from Nottingham)I've been living here now for 22 years do you not have the SAF integral kits in the UK? Over here they are 900 euros an axle £700 ish for you everything new except the caliper carry on the struggle, my breton missus says me and you could be brothers, same fashion sense, weight and hair style keep up the good work..
Awesome video again the longer the better 👍
Those durite jump packs will start a self propelled sugar beet harvester, each battery is about 1000A starts them no bother
Cracking work Chris.
Fantastic 👊👊👊💪🏻
Another Bloody good show 💪👍
Nice work Chris 👍
Bloody good show
Looks like a great company to work for love this episode
Great video Chris,
Great work and content.
What a bloody struggle again with the saf hubs but at least you were having a bloody good laugh this time to keep your mind off the struggle bloody good show ye it was.
See you on the next one
Whoop whoop.
Chris I remember the saf axel when you had a barrow of the puller they was the same plys in I remember right it was parked tite close they had to move it so you could work on it 👍🏻
Great video man as usual. Yours ratty10
Love the break dust plume as the drum comes off. Great work love the videos Thanks Chris
Keep up the great vlogs Chris 👍👍. Happy to help with the church community hall 🙏👍👍
Nice one Chris 👍
Great stuff as always...
Quality as usual pal 👌
Your stamina for hard graft is amazing. Knackered just watching.well done mate.Enjoy the truck show.
awsome
Il also be at truckfest in a blue land rover d2 il try and keep my eyes open for u
Go on Chris
That looked like a very satisfying shoe and drum change!
That Volvo might have had an Telma electric retarder on it. They fit on the drive shaft out the back of the gearbox and between the rear axle. They work like the reverse of an electric motor and as you pull the lever it powers up the retarder more and more with each click of the lever. This then brakes the drive, means you don’t have to use the standard brakes as much and are not as hard on the engine as an exhaust brake. Means you can also keep the engine revs up. We had them on the underground mine trucks, due to long downhill runs fully loaded
Agreed, I think they were once mandatory at one time especially if they were operating in Italy and Switzerland.
@@johncollier7744 they are a great job, just have to be careful not to hold it in position 4 (full power) for too long or else they over heat. Normally position 2 was good. Just holds it back without affecting your normal driving
Yes we had them in the fire service, but it was operated via the throttle and footbrake. The first stage came in when you lifted off the throttle and second third and fourth stages when you applied the footbrake depending on how hard you pressed. We had a speed sensor to only activate it about 5mph and was interfaced through the abs. They saved us thousands in brake relies and the drivers loved them because of the additional braking power it gave them.
More commonplace on coaches, smooth braking and reduces brake wear.
That clulite head torch is very good mate use them all the time
Can be a little naughty them jump boxes, I blew a body module on a daf. I always put lights on now when jumping helps reduce the surge 👍
How do you ever get any work done so much banter with every one lol
Honestly truth this mate I find myself in traffic looking at trailers and thinking fuck saf axial s some poor sod got some shit coming since I been watching you Education at its finest ❤😂😂😂😂⚓🛠️🤠 JB
Al needs to fit some LED spots to my Hilux.
Little lever is a telma
I remember my dad had one in a volvo coach he used to drive
Chris, it might be worth investing in a torque multiplier for those SAF nuts.
Agreed. He said that heating it up would bugger the threads. But seems the chisel way could damage the threads just as easily.
Was about to post the same thing, myself had a 1/2" drive torque multipler when I was in industrial repair.got tired of jumping on cheaterbar, and smashing hand with 5lb er . Able to sell it when retired. Tks Chris entertaining video.
Thing is tight arse struggler won't even buy a dedicated 85mm socket
I bought a cheap multiplier and it's worth it's weight in skin and claret
It would be interesting to know if it would work and maybe gas bottles in an aerosol freeze spray or washing up liquid
Bloody good show! Been waiting for this mate since you said there was a video out this week. I'm sure the daines Lowe boys use them jump packs you after ask Sam pal
Yep yep! They’re a cracking bit of kit. We showed Chris when he came up last. No expensive either really. 👍🏼🤜🏼
@@daines-lowe I thought it was what you boys use. Ino off your video that yous swear by them. Something that small and he was going to jump start a truck with it.
Hi Chris i think that is for your overdrive. Robert.
Did our notebook low loader today Chris torque settings on the hub nuts are 150nm plus 30 degrees give my regards to Danny as I met him and his father many years ago when they came and looked at out old f16 and f12 globetrotters in Suffolk. Crack on mate.
Dont know whether or not you've tried it or not Chris but it could well be worth you getting some Metaflux torsion spray. We use it to loosen hard to undo nuts upto 80mm on farm tackle and it works wonders. Keep up the struggle.
Saf solid as fuck 😂😂
SAF (Sick As Fuck) axles when your asked to do the job. 😂😂
If you think £4.60 is dear for a pint you’ll pass out if you come down south 😂 £6.30 for anything decent down here. struggle at work, struggle at the pub.
Jesus, that’s pretty cheap £9 round London in places. One lad was out the weekend, £10 a pint. There’s also a bar like the stock exchange, if the drinks popular it increases in price through the night, one minute it’s £7 quid, and hour later it costs more, mad. Goes the other way as well.
I always replaced the ABS sensors when i had a hub off it cost more to take the hub back off
Hated working on SAF axles thankfully didn't have to do it that often parts were bloody hard to get nobody local kept anything on the shelf and it had to be ordered normally took over a week to get parts keep struggling
Chris, put a pepper pot nozzle on the gas bottles, and gently warm the nuts up…. POP of they come .
SAF axles - Seized And Fucked
Ah yes good old SAF (soft & fucked)😂😂, I’ve NEVER had one that’s come off without the drill and split, trailer hubs and drums/shoes the staple of every apprentices 1st year 😂😂😂, no wonder I chucked the wagons and eventually ended up fixing trains 😂😂
GREAT VIDEOS CHRIS
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ALL THE HUBS WERE THE SHOES THAT WORN , ASKING BECAUSE IM LOOKING AT THE SAME TRAILER TO BUY 😊
Well lucky with those hubs chris I hate saf bpw is the way forward 🎉
hi chris, i am sure i recognize kevin. did he used to drive for marleys at burton.
Hi mate yes kev did drive for markets burton. I will say hello for you.
@@danielmcnulty708 cheers mate, i worked in the garage at beenham,
Hard days graft Chris. Can't beat a set of drum brakes last for ever compared to disc and pads. Forever putting pads in every 2/3 month and its a bloody miracle if the calipers not f&#ked
is it not quicker to slit it with a grinder Chris.
Been thinking I might be able to get a good deal on some SAF axles if you really like them🇨🇦
Where is the gofundme link chris ??
You did say (whacking off) didn’t you Chris?😂
Where them lights from please or make thank you ❤❤❤❤
Hello Chris, is that Saf axle sort for saft 😊
S A F should have a solution for this seized nut thread malarkey is it lack of special grease on the threads or over torque never had any trouble with old Leyland stuff
Its just fine sh1t threads. There is no better way than what Chris does!...
@@matthewcadle7200 I assume it's at manufacture and build them up dry or aerosol lube on the threads and not proper grease. I reckon a lot of operators have switched due to high maintenance costs and are Sick As F### with SAF
Old Bedfords and Leylands had the same axle nuts till they went for scrap after many miles of service
@@mondodaftasabrush They probably do build them dry and over tighten them, but they don't care as they won't be taking them off. And they are made as cheep and quick as possible I bet!.
@@matthewcadle7200 150 newton metres and rotate the hub 5 times and then a final torque of 30 degrees
Maybe trailer fitters are over torque the fixing but clever design on the nut to show 30 degrees
So pleased I am out of it trailer or hub bashing
What days you going truck fest as I’d love to meet you and the kids
Just a point was the block not to Deep ? Needs to be under the round part Not under the angle, I find a jack is best for that job ? Jack just over centre, Pre load bar, One good clout with the sledge, Job Done lol,
I am only a part time struggler though, Same applies to wheel nuts that some clown has overtightend with an Air Gun, Looks like you had all the gear their especially to pre load the bar ffs, Did the Man on the sledge need more sleep at night lol, Keep Bolloxing on all the best.
Coming soon new improved wireless battery charger lol
Shi* And Fuc**d axles the best eh Chris
The telescope will save you climbing up high to look for repairs !?.
What's happened to Alex Channel chris ?
I'm here. Unfortunately, life got busy, but I'm going to start editing videos again soon 👍
Cris I don’t know how you workout a rate of pay for the work you do , 10 30 pm and just finished,,,,, John retired driver / fitter
👊👍🤙💪👌
How do you price a job like that? Must b3 so difficult?
Mates rates 😉
Try once.then drill them bastad nuts .. I used to wrap the threads with tape after getting the nut off just incase I dropped the hub on there
I'd be glad if i never see another one of them SAF axle.
Chris you know why them hubs fell off because of that drink you’ve been having and if you’d of had more your 1/2” wizz popper would of took the hub nuts off 👍
You know what SAF means Chris (sad as fuck) because that’s what It makes you when you have to work on them 😂 hopefully see you at truck fest my old man wants me to face time him again with you like a donnington 🤣
Been a hard shift but it looks as glamourus a job as agri and drainage contractor muck and grease and shite everywhere. 😁😜
saf = sILLY aS fOOK !
BLEEDING SAF
SAF = Stay Away From
Just a pity he wouldnt listen to you and your years of struggling
