I'm American, I can barely understand a fuckin word your sayin sometimes, but I enjoy your videos and upbeat personality. You work hard for your money, much respect.
Hiya Chris I’m a light vehicle mechanic apprentice but always had an interest in the bigger stuff but have always wanted to know more about it all, your videos are class mate I love watching them all and they make me more interested
You da man Chris! I could never afford snap on spanners , some of my mates had them , they bought them on the drip , when the snap on guy called to collect the installments, he had to drive down to the end of the yard to get in ,this would give the guys who had no money time to run and hide!!! . Good video again mate cheers Frank 👍
Your falling to bits Chris! Look after yourself Sir. Great video as always. Very handy guy to have in your phonebook if your a small operator etc. That workshop looks nice and tidy and well equipped.
Thanks David! I was 19 when I went on my own and all my customers was owner drivers and small operators, think that’s why I learnt so much fitting a new part was a last resort😁 Not so many round now days !
Love this channel mate and it’s great that watching the boys with you… question, don’t you put copper slip on the back of the pads and doesn’t that hub nut have anything to lock it? Like a tab or stalking the nut in? Drove wagons for 6 years in the 2000s and despite being a Land Rover mechanic by trade I never really looked at what was under the wagons I drove.. thankfully I don’t have to drive them anymore although I do miss the industry!
You mean callipers, slack adjusters you take of just under a half a full turn, Oooow sensitive subject Andrew! Is it 2 or 3 it’s up to your own discretion pal! I just do it like I’ve always Done mate if it feels a bit rubby on 2 do 3 👍
Chris fish oil tablets and glucosamine tablets helps my shitty knees during the winter might be worth a shot for your hands. Keep up the great vids bud
Yeah now you say that that my mum used to have cod liver oil tablets for her aches and pains! I used to love them as well 😄 cheers David I’ll get some 👍
Im so glad i got out of fixing all that hgv shite. Everyone takes the piss out of you and theres never any thanks for a job well done. Im back in heavy plant again now and you get treated like a human being and paid pretty well to.
Yeah it is pretty thank less, there soon to moan when the jobs go’s tits up though! I’ve not done much plant work! Used to look after some mobile cranes that was a mission aways broke down in the worst place ever lol cheers Andy 👍
Next video pls Chris massive pls give me a massive shout out to gee Owen, for a Vauxhall nova upgraded, 1m seat Leon 1.9!non PD ENGINE upgrades CANT BEAT THE 1.9!asv engine code SHOUT OT TO THE RHOSNIGER CRUE AND THE BIG RACE SURCET IN TY CROES, don’t know if you have herd of the big race track in Anglesey??? Thanks man love your vids bro 😎 Wrexham demon tweets did a brilliant job, boys, you where the best car gone in for the day 9am lowered on ebach coil overs, bigger garret turbo 1000cc injectors can’t remember the number of turbo, new high lift cams, stage 2 tune performance and short shifter,the car went in 130 bhp car came out 190+ 420 neutron meter of torque.. plus teamdinamics 19” super light weights in gloss black had spacers polly bushed bk and front, I had to baby sit this car witch I still have to this day and still not blown fuck all as a poformance clutch gets changed every 3000 miles
Those axles are not good, brake adjuster is plastic, bearings get stuck on axle, and putting that hub nut on with a inch drive gun invalidates any warranty, must torque up properly, if you do torque up, any damage to threads are covered by SAF!!
Those winders can be a bitch, and those daft 11 point snap off bits you get in the brake kits are ridiculous- a good sneeze and they snap lol then if you use the 11 point socket and it's stiff you end up knacking the mechanism lol 😆
Good old SAF near side wrong side that’s what I say to me self when I do them, and I absolutely hate them axles there 🤮 prefer BPW or ROR mate, I know we all do it but your not supposed to use windy guns on them hub nuts like you say they strip hate the disc bolts too always cut the heads of and weld M14 nuts over and yours came out no props ya must of kissed them and spoke dirty to them lol 😂

Another good video Chris 🚚🚜🚛⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
I can see Chris knows his stuff with all those tips and tricks.

Has been cold this week mate
No heating in our shop just more layers look like the dough man
Be good
What’s happened to the weather it’s freezing then next day it’s 13+
Great job, you make it look simple.
I struggle mate! Just like most of us. Cheers for watching 125 🏍
We run drum and shoe brakes here in Canada on our trailers. And trucks are slowly going to caliper and pads.
That's what I call one skinny tuff English man 💪
Jobs a good un mucka 👍👍👍

Happy 2022 pal 👍
Good job,
Great job Chris. Are all slack adjusters taken all the way on then 2 clicks back? Happy New Year. 😁

Fkn hate SAF axles, never had one that I’ve never had to drill the the nut, threads are mega fine too
You good! But where is proper torque specification?

Call yourself a mechanic. I changed my brakes and disc’s in half the time it took you. I peddled away without any problems.
Those pads look (to me, and I don't know much) like they've got plenty of meat left on them. How come they needed doing?
yep the inch gun for hub nuts.. 👍👍 gently with it first...
I know 😬 very gently gently 🤫 🤣 good man Andrew 👍
BPW axle is best.
Im so glad i got out of fixing all that hgv shite. Everyone takes the piss out of you and theres never any thanks for a job well done. Im back in heavy plant again now and you get treated like a human being and paid pretty well to.

My favourite axle I’d prefer to work on 100 SAF with stuck hubs then on BPW axle lol
Stuck hubs are time waster 😅
@@Professional-struggler 9 inch grinder fixes it pretty quickly lol
@@rayw9067 yeah the good old 9” with a new disc 😂
@@Professional-struggler you know it 😂
Please post challenge videos like you did as last to leave circle.
The brakes are the same on a 1046 international tractor
Bad circulation for sure in the hands , vibrations from tools do in the nerve’s.
I know mate! I’ll suffer at old age.
You want to buy a set of flogging spanners
Your right Jimmy I did! My poor old spanner’s take some battering! 👍
Those axles are not good, brake adjuster is plastic, bearings get stuck on axle, and putting that hub nut on with a inch drive gun invalidates any warranty, must torque up properly, if you do torque up, any damage to threads are covered by SAF!!
Should mention how shit them plastic adjusters are mate
Yep shocking Sean 🤦♂️👍
Those winders can be a bitch, and those daft 11 point snap off bits you get in the brake kits are ridiculous- a good sneeze and they snap lol then if you use the 11 point socket and it's stiff you end up knacking the mechanism lol 😆
😂😂 I know it’s like there made from glass 😅

He cracked them off with spanner and hammer first i think mate
I’m talking about the disc to the hub the ones that rust like mad
Just hit the socket on and the little wiz popper gun did the rest! If there really corroded it’s a nightmare
