    Chris if you dont have a tap get a bolt, with a grinder cut two grooves along the length of the thread you now have a thread cleaning tap😎

    At a push you can cut some flutes down a high tensile bolt with a cutting wheel on the grinder, it’s like a makeshift tap to re thread it 🤷‍♂️👍

    Chris, you are doing an amazing job! I’ve been following you for about a month now and watched many of your earlier blogs! I too am in the game fixing construction plant and I love your energy and positive nature! Many times we have all done that 5 minute job that has taken a whole day when someone has used a gun and cross threaded something before we have turned up! Keep making these recordings mate, I hope someone from the tele sees these as you would be excellent on a tv show doing something like Fred Dibnah did!

    I was a maintenance electrician for a steel mill. I worked on straddle cranes that used joysticks for control. We had a run of breakdowns and all due to joystick failures. One of or shift electricians had taken it upon himself to lubricate the controllers, unfortunately he used penetrating oil in a spray can which ended up taking the lithium grease out of the bearings. Glad we stopped him before he did the whole fleet. I appreciated him being proactive but he cost us a fortune.

    Great video Chris, a good tip I was shown is to put a slit down the old bolt thread with a grinder to turn it into a tap to Clean the thread up.

    17:21 IV done it myself but in a pinch when you don't have a tap but you have extra bolts. Take a angle grinder and cut the threads perpendicular to the length of the bolt. This works to give. Bolt an edge to cut the thread. I'm sure if you Google tap made from bolt

    Chris, A tip or two moving forward. Those M24 bolt your 'struggling' with are probably not cross threaded but the threads have picked up on each other. What's needed is some proper good lubricant like an anti-seize Cooper slip. This will not only allow disassembly but look after the threads on both components and reduce the said problem, but using decreased will only promote the problem. Hope this is useful and keep up the good work 👍

    Also, those bolts and fixings cost a bloody fortune for OE so not surprised they've been putting any old crap in. Lol

    Them knives are fooked and the cutter blocks don't look much better and the hard facing on rotor looks low,use aluminium anti sieze on clamp bolts,doesn't cure cross threads but helps on dismantle. You right on your crossthread diagnosis seen it a few times.And sometimes shredder rotors 'grow' when your run them up to speed and the block start clipping the knives but on 6mm clearance that's never happening

    No need for that 3/4” impact, or is it a 1” ? Those bolts don’t need 1500nM plus. Tell them to use a 1/2” impact, then a preset torque wrench, cheaper and safer than that thing. It’ll prevent mess ups like this. Time is money, and there was quite a bit lost there, for the speed of using that gun.
    Great work as always, stay safe out there!!
