    Hi Ray i really like your show Thank you
    Im a retired cabinet maker. And for 20 years before I retired. I had my own shop with A quite noisy large compressor Also.
    Needless to say I built a plywood box and lined the inside with sound deadening board. I built it with the a large front door so I could access everything easily with plenty of ventilation so there was no problem of overheating. Worked very well because it was also outside and that way I could put a nice hasp and padlock on it . Then put a nice quarter moon cut out at the top of the door. In other words it kind of looked like an old outhouse. This
    this might work for you. If you have time I know how it is to open your own business.
    All all my friends and clients thought it was great
    Thanks again for your great show. JF.

    Way way back, when I was 17 (I think) I worked at a family owned garage & fuel/filling station. One day the owner, Mr. T. J. Futch (@ F&J Automotive) took the time to show me how to Grease Pack Bearings. Any kind of bearings & it was so simple, but very necessary to protect them while they do their work. I hope I remember his name correctly because that was 53 years ago. He & hie partner are long gone & the Garage is now a store that I think sells plants & such.

    Got some bearing/race PTSD from back in the days replacing front wheel bearings in either myb69 Mustang or 73 charger with just basic tools, I was 16 or 17 broke as all get out and somehow managed to get the job done without messing up seals, bearings, and housing.
    I actually enjoyed watching you do the job with proper tools.

    Just my 2c ain’t worth much but when I was taught at the GM dealership way back. They told me not to use grease on the gear oiled bearings as it would keep the oil from flowing to the bearings and create dry spots and premature wear . They had us lube them with gear oil and assembled. I am sure times have changed and that red grease is different 👍🏻

    I totally LOVE that brake power bleeder. Such a great tool. More people should have their brake systems flushed. Most don't do anything until there is a problem. The fluid deteriorates just like all the other fluids. It had been a long time since I worked on a 3500 differential, the bearing set up brought back memories. Definitely HD! Great to show good maintenance on a truck like yours.

  • @michaellicitra7632
    @michaellicitra7632 Рік тому +1

    Brake pad "bedding". Burnishing it is not - Bedding a new set of pads is very important and you explained it well but the mechanism being employed is transfer of brake material from the brake pad to the rotor and not burnishing. The friction developed on the rotor is the result of the friction developed between the pad material and the deposited pad material on the rotot. The underlying cast iron that the rotor is made from is the supporting structure for the deposited pad material.
    Probably the most important feature of doing this as you emphasized is not stopping the vehicle during the process when the pads/rotor is hot. If ther rotor ia allowed to stop while hot the pad material may stick to the rotor surface and result in an uneven distribution of brake pad material and resulting pulsation in brake effectiveness.
    After an emergency stop it is sometimes necessary to re-bed the brake pads to even out the pad material in the event of such emergency use to regain operational smoothness.

    It's not a bearing race, it's the bearing cup or cone. The race is part of the cage that contains the rollers or ball bearings.

    Ray sorry to interrupt but these large bearing nuts. Tighten down until the bearing drags as you turn the hub. Then back off until it rotates freely-- then tight to next cotter key hole. We did this on huge wheels and brakes on airplane jumbo jets.

      ¡Claro! Pero deberías ver que un avión pesa muchas más toneladas y las ruedas giran mucho más rápido, entonces las precargas sobre los cojinetes son muy específicos, cosa que en un automóvil (cualquiera que sea) los esfuerzos no son tan enormes y NO habrá tanto riesgo. Cuando mucho, es mejor que tenga algo de "juego" (holgura) a que estén demasiado apretados.
      Si hasta las grasas lubricantes son diferentes. He estado allí... en coches y aeronaves.

    Protip: Flip the driving race so that both are facing the same direction instead of each other, that way, when it's get stuck down in the hub, you have a convenient lip you can use to gently tappy tap the old one out.

      @@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 Actually, I never had that problem. Then again, I was working on class 8 trucks (semis) at the time, and those things tend to be a lot easier to work on because everything is bigger and you got way more clearance. Matter of fact, you didn't even unbolt the lugs nuts and lugs studs, just remove the axle and retaining hardware before pulling the duallie. With those, you want it to get stuck a little because that's the best way to ensure the new race is fully bottomed out in the hub. Plus, again, super easy to remove once yer done, so not a big deal.

    Alldata/GM has a very specific procedure for replacing your rear axle bearings and races that includes an initial torque specification for properly seating both new races, then loosening up the nut, and then setting a final torque setting.

      It shouldn't matter. As long as the outer race is firmly seated against the snap ring, it's good to go. Actually, the way he does it let's you see that it's seated correctly. Factory procedure is easier but it's done blindly.

    I’m definitely getting some of those line wrenches. I really liked that. 👍🏻

    Thanks Ray glad it all ended well for you and you have your beast back on the road again, was great to see some new toys in action and they certainly look a great invention for brake lines.

    The flatbed looks good in that color.
