What a satisfying job! The care and attention to detail you pay to each and every job on this car will ensure it will remain in excellent running order for many years - and miles - to come. Well done!
What a fantastic job, and educational too. I didn't know the correct way of how to pack a bearing of grease, so thanks for showing us. I like the music. It goes well with the video, when a job is finished and looks good. Great work!!
I'm loving the triumphant film music honouring the epic rebuild of the brake calipers! They stand like majestic monoliths surveying their status over the garden picnic table 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work Bud 👍
Love it! Better than new! Great bearing backing technique! Those rear mounted discs on the hubs are bring me back bad memories of transits when I was an apprentice though 😂😂🫣
Must say Paul your a top man the way you go about each job is100% spot on attention to detail makes all these videos a real pleasure to watch, been a petrol head all my life looked after xj12 4yrs love big engines better than the crap they make now looking forward to the mot Paul pass no problem all the best Keith.
@ I don’t doubt it . I worked for British Timken from mid seventies to mid eighties. I remember getting a new front wheel bearing for my mark one Cortina £1.75 !
I'm sorry...but I find the sound of the wind swirling about your garage...so soothing! Beavering away at one's hobby whilst the weather's up outside is comforting to me. Reminds me of building my AirFix plastic models in my garage in the 1970s. Even here in Hawai'i, the wind is a nice musical accompaniment. You're doing this right, though. I could only put my models on the shelf when I was done. YOU...can take your hobby out on the road and drive it! Brake work on a Rolls is an epic task. In your (brake...) shoes, I would be grateful my Rolls-Royce ISN'T one of those vintage ones with the servo-assisted mechanical rear drums and hydraulic front drums. I had a mate with a dodgy old 1950 Silver Wraith who was massaging his brake system almost weekly back in the 1980s. What a faff... In comparison, your setup is a model of modern simplicity. Enjoy the results when your done...in the howling wind or not. Aloha.
Why didn´t you split the calliper? Only 4 more screws. Cause between both halfs there are two more o-seals to replace, as the callipers intend to leak there very likely. Also cleaning and replacing the pistons seals is much easier job then.
That's one lucky elderly Rolls-Royce. It's so good to see it being brought back to life. The poor thing deserved the second chance it's being given.
Thanks and I completely agree 😊

Your attention to detail sir is second to none, a pleasure to watch and ( hopefully) learn!
Thank you appreciate it 😊

The brakes are looking good now. You need reliable brakes on a heavy car. Great work . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Always look forward to your videos Paul
Thanks 😊
Very satisfying watching you doing this. Only way to make your Rolls reliable and enjoyable!
Love it! Better than new!
Great bearing backing technique!

Great demo packing those bearings. Im an armchair mechanic with completely clean hands but I like to see how things are done
Glad you enjoyed watching 😊
Top job.. A joy to watch .. Lovely 😀😀
Thank you 😊

I bet you won’t wanna take it out in the rain once it’s been MOT all the underneath will get dirty again😂😂😂 great video
I worked for Timken for ten years. Nice to see the tapered roller bearings are still going strong . 😊
Great spot ! Am I right in thinking they are original? 😊

Absolutely thorough job Paul. I could hear the wind whistling outside. Brrrrrrrr. Cool 18 deg. Spring day here in Tasmania. Just saying…….😀
😊
Terrific job!

Thank you. Yes, the wind is a good sound !
Excellent clips..a true perfectionist.
Thanks 😊
Great video; very instructive and glad to see the car is coming along. Not sure about the music, though.
Great video Paul. Don't know how you always get nice weather on these videos! 😀
Honestly well done it looks amazing
Thanks Buddy
Excellent, passionate work. 👏🏻
Thanks for watching 👍
Very clear, so really good.
Another great video, missed you at the NEC yesterday
Sorry I missed you at the show

@@renepohl7619 No point, and you answered your own query!
Great job, like new.
Sorry, not a fan of the music.
I'd love to choose some different music but youtube say no 😅
