Thanks for the video. Note: You are truing the crank the wrong direction starting at 4:37... Crank should always be turned in direction of operation (CCW).

You bet. There will be more to come soon. I moved out to the country and had some work to do on my new place so my video production got interrupted. Thanks for watching and the kid words. I appreciate you.

Great video, noticed the air bags, what brand are they ? One thing i see that may be wrong is the caliper slide pin bolts torque spec. late 90s early 2000s they made the calipers in front of axle, according to manual those are 46 ft. lbs. If you have calipers on the rear of axle the torque spec is 27 ft. lbs. I checked and rechecked. all in all a good man and appreciate the video fully. also I dont have any lithium grease to hold spring in seal, can I use transmission green assembly goo ?

How is the gasket holding up?

Thanks for sharing this very helpful process, And taking the time to do so.

So odd to me that people have crap green. Ive owned a 97 f350 7.3 since its birth, and it never has had a lick of green... still kinda baffles me

Had similar issue with mine from 1st to second gear. You need to shift more firmly. What help tremendously was using Motul full synthetic oil, it shifts som much better now.

Nice informative video

If ypu need to coolant flush your ford 7.3 first time for any reason, this is a very detailed great how to.

Very very very good video..I set out today to complete both sides.. parking brakes and rotors/bads. I ended half way through the passenger side.. in my defense, I'm doing things right.. but this video is one I wish I would have watched before. I like how you put all the explanation and content. You're talking through your moments of uncertainty, it doesn't teach the job, it teaches the idea of thinking, observing and executing.. transferable mechanical knowledge is what I'm saying. Great video.. you're very good at details.. love it..

Thanks for the video.

Best vedeo ever,,👍👍👍👍

Looks a lot like adjusting the valves on a Yamaha TW200.

Thank you for such an in depth video! The heater core always has water circulating, even with max ac on. People do a mod to shut off the heater core circulation with max ac.

Hi Craig, Wanted to check on you and make sure everything is ok. Miss your Super Duty videos.

Great Videos. Really useful for guys like me that just bought a Valk with little tech knowledge but a hunger to learn.

Craig, I would love to know how the SSBC brakes worked out for you. Any videos? I found you on a powerstroke forum thread discussing the sh*tty stock calipers. I have an owned 6.4 with a very similar attitude towards it as you seem to have with your 7.3. Appreciate any and all info 🙏🏼

Appropriate use of the safety term, had me laughing :)

Thank you for your knowledge and tips! I just bought my first bike 22 chief. While they are different this will definitely help!

The buzzing sound is actually your vacuum pump, not your fuel pump. I thought the same thing at one point. Informative procedural video, but you should not be thanking Jesus in your video. Instead, you should be thanking God-the One who created you.

I did this in a farm shop and thought no big deal, been doing custom wiring for years. This sucks, I'm watching for a refresher, but I'm with ya man!

imo do not use air, use manual. air/power is risky.

Your water pump is going to leak! Not a good idea to change coolant to red

I hadn't watched this until two years after you posted it, but I hope to blazes you didn't split those cases looking for a second gear problem! That's how mine's shifted all the time I've had it. I've always shifted early 1st to 2nd to make it smoother but it is clunky. I don't worry a whole lot about it now. I own one in Ballarat, Australia and regularly ride on The Great Ocean Road which is the best set of twisties in the country. The Valk will out-handle many newer, smaller bikes and is an absolute hoot! I hope you hang onto her for a long time.👍

horrible video

They lost a nut for mine, I emailed them with pictures, and they gave me a full refund, and I got to keep the lift. I got mine from TEMU!!

I've got a 2001 f250 four-wheel drive battery cables are giving me hell and I need to do exactly what you did thanks for sharing good news is I live in Apache Junction so I'm about to go and give them a visit but anyway great video I enjoyed it watched it till the end take care my friend

I have one of these 1500 lb capacity Big Red lifts and it lifts my sporty awesome. I use it every time I need a tire change as I pull my wheels and bring them to my local Indy. I paid $35 plus tax for it at Pep Boys in 2005!

Thanks. Very helpful. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a hose clamp plier.

Nicely done! My ‘98 acquired a ding in the tank so I’m considering taking it off and sending for repairs.

Sounds like the transmission is shot.

What kind of fluid was used?

Using those 3M roloc disks are a no-no. The abrasive from the disks ends up in all the nooks and crannies that you can’t get a rag into. Then it eventually mixes with the lubricant and wears out your gears, bearings, and shafts. Silicone gasket maker is a moderate pain in the ass but is relatively soft and not all that difficult to remove with a razor scraper. Since you aren’t working flat rate and it is your own vehicle speed is not of prime importance. Those roloc disks are bad juju. Many engine rebuilders require an oil analysis on failed engines and refuse to warranty anything that has evidence of those disks in the oil. Just a bit of friendly advice from a retired ASE Master Tech who learned the hard way.

is that pump frothing the oil? Sure looks like it has a different color/consistancy on the output side. I could be wrong and maybe its the lighting..

I was hoping to see how to do it without the bleeder tool

Thanks for all of the info I learned alot. All of my screws were buggered up as you put it. I just bought the bike. I guess I'm going to invest in some jis tools

You start out by saying it’s a beautiful day here in the NW. where abouts are you? I’m in Port Orchard, WA.

I'd hate to buy that bike after he "put it back together". It would not stand one of my inspections. But some poor sap could get hosed. I only watched about 4-5 minutes. The first 23 minutes are a great time to take a dump. I love the part with the pneumatic ratchet and hose just to remove the 8MM bolts that hold the saddlebags on. Of course we couldn't see WTF he was doing. Most of the Valkyrie riders out there knew anyway. Very entertaining !!

Did you resolved the problem? I had the same problem

Next time, loosen the handlebar bolts, and rotate the bars forward, a little, until the clutch reservoir is level.

I am starting to work on one that hasn't run for 10 years myself.

Only 2 hoses that have to come off the tank. The hose that goes to the back of the petcock can be remove by taking it off from the last or back carburetor plenum area on left side of bike. Just remember to route it again as you reset tank on the bike.

Great video, thanks! You reference the adjustment window plastic device near the bell but I may have missed it, I don’t see you using that. How do you use that? Should you use that to make the measurements? What is it for? Thank you in advance

I'm sold

Thank you! I successfully removed my tank and checked the air filter. Now ready to install a new petcock and put the tank back on. Enjoyed your patience and wording " a bit of a wrestling match" with removing the two hoses from the petcock (which it was!), "hunt for a few threads" when reinstalling the fuel tank, etc.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve got a 600 tenere 55W, do you know if I need to empty the oil before opening it up like this? Havn’t got a workshop so don’t want a flood around the apartments.. Thank you!!

Well done Craig! I've got a 2001, with about 350k miles. I also need to install a new steering box. I watched the 1st video, but don't see the other 2. Can you send me links? I also need to do my parking brake so watched your video as well. You do excellent work my friend! It's much appreciated!!

Out of curiosity, where can we dispose of all of that coolant? I want to do a full flush on my 99, but don’t know what to do with it afterwards.

I see you made the tool, thanks for the video !

Where can I get that adjustment tool ?
