Get yourself an air powered die grinder and some carbide burrs for getting those bearings out Chris and an air chisel with a blunted chisel is great for rattling stuff out, works great if you have seized brake nipples too, just tickle around the caliper where the nipple is fitted and if you have a spare nipple, rattle down on the top of the old nipple, you'll soon shift it.
Chris when you bought them parts at JCB and he give you that free tub of grease (should of got a refund and then re-bought them) then you should of bought the parts upto £100 then done that for the rest of the parts and you would have ended up with 5 tubs of boom grease........OWT FOR NOWT lol A 9" disc on a 4½" grinder is dodgy at best because the max RPM on the 9" disc is a lot slower than the 4½" discs max RPM so your lucky it never exploded being over sped. You need a welder generator for site work so you can run a bead of weld around that outer bearing race to shrink it and then it would just fall out.
IF SCOTTIES YARD CARRIED OUT PROPPER WEELKY CHECKS & maintenance the plant would be way more efficient . Mind u on the flip side it would do the Struggler out a job 😂😂😂😂@@Professional-struggler
If you need to get an outer bearing race out of its housing, put a bead of weld around the inside of the race and when it cools the race will drop out. Hey presto!
The struggle is real Chris, the struggle is real, what you done at your wrist man? And you rang me whilst I was away for the weekend lol, I'll bel you Tuesday cocker
I don't know how you manage to do these jobs in the open in all weathers with limited tools but you just get on with it and get it done .Great stuff Chris
After awhile you learn to make due, the less equipment you have to work with the more you learn to improvise. Repaired forklifts 40+ years in the field rain,snow and sunny days
If you carry a small mig or stick welder you could get the bearing races out by weld a bolt either side of the race and jack the race out. Chisel gun is a good tool to add to your van also.
Chris quick thought for that bolt, use COLD SHOCK! Get a can of plumbing pipe freezer of the van! Get yourself a set of bearing pullers, painful watching that was lad.
Loved watching this video of you doing a lot of jobs at the yard Chris and how is your little crops doing in your little farm you have and hope your arm is doing okay mate and can’t wait to see the next episode
Hey chris. Ive worked on a lot of volvo loaders so Just want to give you a tip. I saw you were blowing out the AC condenser with it still latched in its resting position. To make cleaning the rad and the condenser much easier, there is a latch on the right side of the machine. If you pull the latch down and pull on the condenser it will slide out into its service position and make it much easier to blow the condenser in reverse flow and give better access to the rad. Hope this helps.
I like the bald tyres on the jcb, that disc on the wrong grinder is an accident waiting to happen..stick welder can weld to outer race,then they are easier to crack. Or even carry a miniature oxy bottle set???.
Crazy to think you do this kind of work without a stick welder and an air hammer. Those things are so cheap it must surely make sense to get them? I work on tractors and the stick welder and air hammer are items I reach for before I go for the spanners. 😂😂 That big grinding disc on that 4 1/2 grinder was legit terrifying. 😅.
The best way to remove them races is a spot of weld it puts a little bit of heat into it and then use a long pry bar they always come straight out done loads from fastracs to teltruk. Snap on sel a cheisel and you just go for it big time with lump hammer and the trunnions pop straight out. I've worked on JCB agriculture and construction equipment for past 8 years
Just what I need, a cheery struggler video 😂 Im on a contract in the most northerly Shetland island, Unst, 10 degrees today and no ferries to the mainland on my day off, ffs, Another week of eating offal, Such is the life of a rambling struggling Irish carpenter 😂 time to be heading south me thinks, Dreaming of mcdonald's double quarter pounder
Iv had a little air chisel on the shelf for bloody years not having air .I Gave it away last week . Recon you could have used somthing the same .saves a struggle .with struggling bandaged hand .
IF SCOTTIES YARD CARRIED OUT PROPPER WEELKY CHECKS & maintenance the plant would be way more efficient . Mind u on the flip side it would do the Struggler out a job 😂😂😂😂
Definitely worth getting small inverter stick welder, can be used to run round bearings then shrink and remove, weld bar or nut on broken bolts etc or repairs, MIG is good but bigger set up and tricky if windy, small inverter stick and pack off 3.2 rods for couple of hundred quid, works in all weather, just keep gloves dry. Regarding knackers boots have a look at army surplus, past few years iv been using army surplus Altberg Defender boots, give them a wax now and again and they have lasted a working environment (industrial electrician) great as long as where you go don’t demand steel toes, however they are still a tough boot, very comfy too, same for overalls etc, iv given up buying new workwear after last time a decent pair of trousers was £100! For work.. knowing they get knackered quick thought not paying that.
Chris, I have a set of left cut twist drills when I'm on stuck bolts. Most of the time the heating of the stuck bolt due to the drilling, will come undone as the drill bites.
Like other have said, bead of weld around the race and it shrinks the bearing. Or die grind it. If i have space i normally just weld a bolt from one side to the other, then weld the slide hammer to get it out. Another way to get the cap off if one does come off easy. Put a load of washers ontop of that flat slot you saw, bolt the cap back in. That will pull the hub up and force the bottom cap out. Finally the flat slot in the top of the axle is for steering angle sensor (if fitted) and yes all JCB king pin caps come un threaded for grease nipples 😂
Cant believe you even tried to get the bearing shell out without a welder that's the proven way everyone does it with plenty power through the welder to roast them up
And there was me thinking at the sight of the king pin only been 2 inch long and attached to the to the caps it was a brilliant design. Then behold a tapered bearing race inside a blind hole. My favoured method of getting a tapered bearing race out is to run a bead of weld inside the race and as it cools it shrinks the race making it not far off fall out. But in your absence of a welder Chris you should have reverted back to the tried and tested method of swearing for hour on end at it and i am afraid Chris i did not hear anywhere near enough swearing in the build up to the bottles
Have just found your channel and must say you deserve your own tv show have just watched the one with midas the robot in can I ask how much it sold for
Cheers Graham 😊 thanks mate, yeah it sold for £1200 but the bloke has never picked it up and he’s paid for it ages ago 😂 god know mate must have to much £
The vortex strikes again!! You need to try and rest your arm though mate. Using the metal plate in the arm support not a good idea, effective though lol
as said in other comments chris, air hammer, got one for removing bushing bolts, honestly its noisey as heck but saves serious hammering... and swearing...hahahahaha
You need to invest in an a under carriage water broom to do all those jobs saves you getting covered in 💩 like mister mingle or Ryobi saves you having to go under
Rite Chris you should get an air chisel for your compressor mate make life a lot easier or an sds drill with chisel bits great video
I’m sat here watching this just crying out for him to suddenly go “ah I know what, I’ll get the air chisel out” 😂

Never met a thing that hasn’t unstuck after the air hammer has had a go, surprised Chris doesn’t have an old school one by CP, Made in England.

Bloody good show sir!!
Chris, after jet washing the underside of the Forklift Truck you resembled a "Master Piece", a "Picasso painting", "Bloody Good Job".
What a day lad i weld around bearing shell heat it up then one slap it explode 😂 that was torture to get done the fosters was well earned
Balls of steel Chris using that grinder with a 9 inch dish😂😂😂👍
Glad the Jacks are getting some use 😊
Fair play to you lad, you’re a hardy bugger 👌
That Stuart was a generous man! Like to see him again
The struggle was real on this one Chris but you got there eventually. Great content matey!!
Thanks mate 👍🤠

It's just a f***ing struggle lots of love from the IoM
If you need to get an outer bearing race out of its housing, put a bead of weld around the inside of the race and when it cools the race will drop out. Hey presto!
I was thinking that lol
Saw someone do this for the first time the other day...I was speechless, so much easier than trying to beat it out.
Going to say get the welder out, 6 days too late though 😟
You can’t beat the old Indian tricks!
Struggle is real, currently recovering from heart surgery. Keep up the great work 💪.
The struggle is real Chris, the struggle is real, what you done at your wrist man? And you rang me whilst I was away for the weekend lol, I'll bel you Tuesday cocker
What a great joy it is watching you an d your struggles chris brilliant chris
great stuff Chriss
I don't know how you manage to do these jobs in the open in all weathers with limited tools but you just get on with it and get it done .Great stuff Chris
All fitters works like that years back
After awhile you learn to make due, the less equipment you have to work with the more you learn to improvise. Repaired forklifts 40+ years in the field rain,snow and sunny days
You need to get yourself an air chisel Chris
From Gary here from Ireland
You poor bugger Chris, that was a tough bugger. I'm frustrated for you with that arm trouble, been there, not fun. Glad you got the package 👍🏻
Jolly good show
Chris get an M8 brass nut and hammer it over the back of your easy outs and taps. Best trick I ever learnt !
If you carry a small mig or stick welder you could get the bearing races out by weld a bolt either side of the race and jack the race out.
Chisel gun is a good tool to add to your van also.
22:31 this was amazing
Simply heroic...
Another great video has always chris and family 👍
Great content Chris you really earned every penny
What a struggle, if its broke you can fix it with limited tools, what a struggler you are 😊 wooo wooo😂👍
If you put a bead of weld round the race and let it cool it'll come out with a pry bar, do it all the time 🤘
Afternoon Chris ……as ever, the struggle was real……that Feckin bearing cap on the F**k truck….😂😂😂👍👌😜🇮🇲
Load of old sh*t mate 😂😂
Another cracking action packed all engrossing journey through the struggle Chris, keep it real and Toodle-pip old chap.
Bloody king pins dont matter wot there on all ways a arse or struggle keep up the good work JB the boat struggler 👍👍
Used to weld those external rings in situ. Pop right out after shrinking.
Brilliant video content as always.Blimey the struggle is for ever real.woop woop.
Aup Chris that's one big struggle buddy have a great weekend 🍺🍺🤫💪💪
AIr Hammer & Chisel All The Way 💪 Such A Handy Bit Of Kit When You Need That Extra Kick
Gday Chris, and that was a struggle. If you want the job done right, you need the tools to do it; a struggle when you do not have what you require😘🤗😊👍
Great video Chris by jaysus that was some struggle 😂
Chris quick thought for that bolt, use COLD SHOCK! Get a can of plumbing pipe freezer of the van!
Get yourself a set of bearing pullers, painful watching that was lad.

Great watch Chris! You take care of that arm
Crazy to think you do this kind of work without a stick welder and an air hammer. Those things are so cheap it must surely make sense to get them?
I work on tractors and the stick welder and air hammer are items I reach for before I go for the spanners. 😂😂

A real struggle on those kingpins
Bloody Hell Chris ,Look After That Arm Mate ,👍👍👍🫢🫢😬😬😬

Classic struggle Chris 👍
Just what I need, a cheery struggler video 😂
Im on a contract in the most northerly Shetland island, Unst,
10 degrees today and no ferries to the mainland on my day off, ffs,
Another week of eating offal,
Such is the life of a rambling struggling Irish carpenter 😂 time to be heading south me thinks,
Dreaming of mcdonald's double quarter pounder
My arse was twitching with thon easy out, waiting on the “ting” when it breaks, also with thon bearing races, can’t be tight when it’s a liquid 😂😂😂
😂😂 always easier in liquid form 😂
Chris what a day mate 👏 u deserve a 🏅
Look out on about Wednesday Chris, something coming your way in the post fella
Bloody prices these manufacturers charge for genuine parts have a great bank holiday Chris all the best Jamie
Iv had a little air chisel on the shelf for bloody years not having air .I Gave it away last week . Recon you could have used somthing the same .saves a struggle .with struggling bandaged hand .
No Struggle bus is complete without a tub of Boom grease😉
😂😂👌 still haven’t used it 😂
You need an air Chisel buddy, save a lot of "faffing about" 😂
I arc weld round the race a few times then let them cool down and they come out ok Chris might help if your near a welder on another job mate
There’s an ad on your video for “Thomas House Executive Lounge”. 🤔 Just what a struggler would need. WTF 😹😹
Hi Chris. That was a struggle mate. But you got there in the end like you always do. Have a good weekend 👍
Top video bud keep struggling
Having one them days mate 😅
Awesome video Chris life is a struggle. Hope you’re arm starts to feel better soon. 👏👍💕🇨🇦
Chris quick thought for that bolt, use COLD SCHOCK! Get a can of plumbing pipe freezer of the van!
IF SCOTTIES YARD CARRIED OUT PROPPER WEELKY CHECKS & maintenance the plant would be way more efficient . Mind u on the flip side it would do the Struggler out a job 😂😂😂😂
The struggle really was real on this one, but nothing you couldn't handle 💪
with bearings like that in a blind hole if you run a bead of weld around the race it shrinks the bearing and makes it easier to remove .

For work.. knowing they get knackered quick thought not paying that.
Omg Chris you earned your pay there mate it made me sweat 😓 😂💪
Chris, I have a set of left cut twist drills when I'm on stuck bolts. Most of the time the heating of the stuck bolt due to the drilling, will come undone as the drill bites.
Yeah I’ve herd about them mate. Never used them but might be a good purchase👍
a jcb dealer near me recommended waxoyl for anybody wanting a cheaper boom grease
Get yourself a sealy LH drill bit set shit at drilling holes but great for removing studs
Chris i run a weld around the inside to shrink the bearing cup ..it works 9 times out of 10
Was looking for a comment saying this before I said the same. Amazing trick just pops out
Brilliant 👏
Boom OR Crust, guessing its just a waterproof grease ?
Great work and video Chris, thanks for sharing
That’s the f#cking way with the grinding 😎✊
dam tyres, there ever only flat at the bottom !
yep your, defiantly a professional struggler, but you still get the job done 👍👍
Feck thought you said bump grease thought you were on the budlight
Will somebody please sponsor him an air chisel
I can see it now the word struggle in the dictionary will have a picture of u beside it 😂live ur videos brother
Keep struggling awesome as ever mate hope the arms better x
You need a heavy air hammer and a smaller air die grinder. 1 inch cutting wheel eats those races
👍👍👍

Weld the bearing race that usually works. Then give it a whack.
What a 💩job and another good video Chris 🚛🚚🚌⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👏👏🍻

Why don't you use the Torque amplifier on the wheel nuts 😅 with your arm taped up 😮
Hey Chris what's the part number for those Jack's?
Full-time job at Scottys yard Chris
Have just found your channel and must say you deserve your own tv show have just watched the one with midas the robot in can I ask how much it sold for
