Thanks for the entertainment have a good week
Thank you mate! You too! 👍
I was yelling at the screen "Put the clamps on!" 😂 Cracking job! 👍
🤣I was cursing myself! Thank you mate, thanks for watching 👍
The Vic reeves ref made me smile.
🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
Keep ticking them jobs off the list and she’ll be driving like a champ. Great job sir.👌
Thank you very much mate! Will do! Thanks for watching 👍
I never knew racks could be full of oil until i undid one while jammed under the car and had it pour down my sleeve and neck. I remember using grease instead when refiting the boots.
Yeah mate although theres not meant to be too much in there (enough to pour down your sleeve and neck though 😀) Thanks for watching 👍
Another great video thank you, nice bit of hammer work, don't forget your goggles when under the car. 🤓
Thank you very much mate! Yes I really need to start wearing my safety glasses! 😀Thanks or watching 👍
this car gonna set on fire gonna set on fire VIVA LA VAUXHALL VIVA VIVA LA VAUXHALL
🤣 Thanks for watching 👍

Love it when a plan comes together! Though I was planning to put the rack back on in this vid! Thank you, you too mate! 👍
“Uncle Michael did it!” 😂
🤣 I was going to mention that again but forgot to include it! Good memory!! Thanks for continuing to watch👍
Nice one Steve 👍 steering all most done staring ok bloody cold here I must be freezing were you are next house double garage keep on smiling 😃 cheers mate
Thank you mate! Yep its a bit chilly! Double garage is the dream! 👍
Good on you Steve, 👏 with your progress replacing the steering rack, so glad with E.P90 gear oil 🛢 for the viewers 😀 👍 trust it was a good evening with the family in front of the Telly 📺, btw, happy new year 2023.
Cheers Vernon, Happy New Year to you too 👍
Job i have never had to do myself, interesting vid👍 nice work as always 👍🙂
It didn't go too badly, I was expecting to round a bolt off. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Nice one!.
Cheers mate! 👍
The drivers side seems to sit lower and the shockers look wet with oil like they have been leaking.. I get a cup of coffee and pile of biscuits it's now a Sunday morning routine keep up the great work...
Good stuff! 😀 Yes mate it does doesn't it, I will have to check that out! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Good work, another bit done, reading the comments, one viewer mentioned a way to set tracking with bits of wood, I've done this on my cars and it works well, can recommend it!
Thank you mate! Yeah I will keep that one in mind. Thanks for watching 👍
Coming along nicely mate , good to see the replacement rack (off!) finally on ! Another job ticked off , looking forward to the next one as always..hoo var voo 😂
🤣Thank you mate! Hopefully putting it back on goes as smoothly as taking it off! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Watching you makes me think i was lucky my rack bolts came off easy though i think i had a few oil leaks over them over the years.
I was expecting it to be a lot worse if I'm honest, but I always expect the worse now and hope for the best! 😀 Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Lovely that the Viva just starts with little problem now. Could almost be taken for granted 😂😂😂
....although the offside rear seems to be sagging a bit 🤔
I know mate its taken a while to get to this point! I am am going to check out the sagging, maybe the shock has gone. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Hello, another great job done on the Vauxhall Viva,the nuts on the steering rack haven't been moved,must have took a while to sort out.
Thank you very much mate! It didn't go too badly other than that one stubborn bolt. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Nice job as usual 👍
Thank you! 👍
Wow, great to see the track rods coming off so well. First time for ages that you've been able to work in sunshine. Very good images of your efforts, almost like a tutorial. 3/4 is three quarters.
Cheers mate! Yeah didn't go too badly for once and it was still bloody freezing out but at least it wasn't raining 😀 Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
"Turn around..." 🎶🎶
Did you hear about my Bonnie Tyler sat-nav?
It was rubbish! It kept saying turn around and every now and then it was falling apart! 🤣🤣
🤣🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
Put the oil in the house to warm up and it will flow nicely for you
Yeah I was thinking that I should have done that while I was pouring it! Cheers mate, thanks for watching! 👍
Well, that's my Sunday morning complete. Love the attention to making the Viva safe. There's many a fun mile coming.
Thank you very much mate! Appreciate it. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Wow, not just going, but being upgraded. Concourse d’elegance next?
🤣 shes too good for that show! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Good job, I was expecting that to be a bitch to get off, glad it went ok ish, looking forward to part 2, great vid.
Thank you very much mate! Yeah me too! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
It would have been better to cut the big zip tie and slide the boot up
Another cracking video mate
Thank you mate! Yeah it would of! 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
OMG 😱 that’s amazing !! You created a FUNNEL out of a filter casing 😂😂, but it worked 😉, you’ve single handedly set the funnel manufacturing industry back 50 years with that invention. Fingers crossed 🤞 the rack works and it’s coming along nicely 👍🏻 Rome wasn’t built in a day ya know .
🤣 Cheers mate! If it works, it works! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Nice work, good to see it go quick and hassle-free for once
Cheers mate! First time for everything 😀Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
So satisfying to see it start up easy and you able to move it around, we'll done 😊😊
Thank you mate, it certainly is! 👍
You can pull the plunger out of that pump, pore the oil in from the top, and then push the plunger back in. Don't fill it completely, give yourself a bit of air to work with. So glad we don't have salt spread on our roads over here. What a mess it makes!
😆 I didn't even think about doing that! Cheers mate, thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Nice to see it starting on the button now.
It is isn't it! Thanks for watching 👍
Another great video! Don't worry about the camera angles it's just like watching the beach scene from saving private Ryan ground breaking😆 just keep making them👍
🤣 Thank you very much mate! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Great episode as usual. Now I've watched you I can get on with MY jobs!
Thank you very much mate! Have fun! 👍
👍
👍Thanks for watching!
It makes it much easier if you put the tin of oil in a bucket of hot water to warm up the oil and make it flow. And she is definitely leaning lower on the drivers side front and rear!
Keep up the good work!
Good idea mate, I'll do that next time. Need to get her on a flat road to check out the problem, suspect its the shocks. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Eranu uvarvu cracked me up 🤣, keep going bud 👍
🤣 Thank you mate, thanks for watching 👍
You were very fast getting those balljoints off . I've spent hours on them in the past . Hats off to you. Very impressive. 😁👍👍
Thank you mate! It was easier than I thought it was going to be! 👍
Keep up the fantastic work your very entertaining and funny 😀
I've bloodied many a knuckle messing with my old Viva. Watching your video brings back so many happy memories of me n my dad! Thank you 👍
Nice burst into yes at 11.35, 😆 crazy. 👍🏻keep them coming.
🤣I will do! Thank you very much mate 👍
That old rack was more bent than I realised 😮
I know mate, it was quite mangled. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Getting on with it mate 👍
That spanner size ¾ is three quarters... As in three quarters of an inch. Tracking trick.. Two lengths of timber or box section steel, must be perfectly straight, one alongside each tyre, measure the distance behind the wheel and in front of the wheel and adjust until equal. This will set the front wheels parallel, not exact but it'll do till you get it done properly 👍
Thank you very much mate - I'm a bit of a simpleton when it comes to fractions! 😀And thank you for that tip, I'll certainly be trying that one! 👍
great funnel. great vid.
😀 Thank you mate! 👍
Another great video,I was going to say if you cannot shift a bolt try a heat source maybe a blow lamp,but you managed to remove it when the rack was off the car,looks like you may have overfilled the rack with oil ,but what do I know,as always looking forward to the next instalment,Great Sunday morning viewing.
Thank you mate! I definitely need to invest in some sort of heat source for the garage. I only put 100ml in the rack, it might have looked like a lot but not that much. Hopefully that should be ok! 👍
Nice cherry reds! You need some Vice Grip shine juice on the bodywork, and I ain't kiddin ya!
🤣 Thank you very much mate! I certainly do! Bring the Thunder! 👍
@@RetroRebuild For crying in the mud!
@@neill4133 😄 brilliant channel !
Another great video dude. Hope all is well.
Cheers mate! All is good, hope all is well with you too! 👍
@@RetroRebuild full of that nasty COVID at the minute, but still causing mischief 🤣
You are daft but entertaining, all the best pal x
Thank you, I think!... 😀 Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
i always mark with a hacksaw blade where the nut sat etc. so i made sure the tracking was the same as before. if that makes sense hehe 🙂 ignore that. i realised your replacing the rack lol
😀👍
Hi There. Just an observation. You appeared to re fit the plastic (packing covers) over the track rod ball joints. I think this is a no no come MOT time. The tester will be unable to see/check for perished/leaking rubber boots. Could be wrong but they are not fitted to modern vehicles. See you in the next one. ✔✔
Hi there mate, I just put the plastic covers on until the rack goes back on to stop the rubbers getting damaged when sitting in the garage (also the car is MOT exempt 😀) Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
The rubber on those steering joints can split, so replacing it now is a good idea. I actually saw one that had split and was only held on on one side - very scary!
Its actually in decent condition, but replacing it anyway. Thanks for watching 👍
Steve I know how it feels 😂 get those ball joints on the rack then, Dam!, forgot the clamps for the boots 😅 story of my life lol it’s all good 👍 btw what song is at the end of your vids? It’s awesome 🤠🤙🏼 keep up the great car-works vids. I wanna be like that when I grow up lol nah~ I’m already old but young at heart 👀🚙💨💨🛞💨💨💨
🤣Cheers mate! It wouldn't be a retro rebuild video if I didn't do something wrong! The song is from my old band - if you'd like a copy just drop me an email (in my description) Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Gotcha 👀 👌 Thanks & keep racing forward 🏁✌🏼🌝
Hey Viva man, Nice job fettlin' the steering rack, That old bent steering rack must have had a big smack on something to bend it like that.
I've seen new oil put into non power steering racks before back in the day like that but I always wondered how they bled the air out of it when turning it from lock to lock?
I have a pump like that too but I makes me own sausages wi mine lol. 😁
😀 Thank you mate! My brother bent the rack when towing the car up! 🙄 Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
rack off man
😆
Nice work. Careful of those wipers though. Far to fast. 😂
🤣 I accidentally clicked them on instead of the indicator with them being on the opposite side of my daily! Thanks for watching 👍
I say that car is coming on in leaps and bounds correct.
Thank you mate! Yes chipping away at it little by little! Thanks for watching 👍
Is there not an inspection cover on the body of the rack where the steering shaft goes in? It'll be oval(ish) in shape and secured by a couple of bolts. That's the normal means of getting the oil in....
Hi mate, yes there is a pinion cover but thats not where the oil goes in on this one, the rack is meant to be stood up and the oil put down one of the boots 👍
Happy days! Good old fashioned mechanicing! Another step along the restoration path, well done, keep up the good work 👍 Did you check out Sarah n tuned channel?
The auto repair guys are pretty good to watch too.
Thank you mate! Yeah I've checked out a few episodes at work 😀 Very cool! Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
I can see where you are going wrong, if you followed the Haynes workshop manual it would have taken 15 mins or so and re-fitting is the reverse procedure, the book of lies is never wrong. So many times I have done exactly as described, only to be hours into the job, with pry bars, long Breaker Bars, tins of penetrating oil.
🤣 yeah I just expect everything to take forever now! So its a pleasant surprise when things go well. Thanks for continuing to watch 👍
Here in Finland Viva is one of the most hated cars from the past.
that says more about Finland than the Viva 😅 They're great little cars mate.👍
Thanks for that! I'll bear that in mind if it ever comes up in a future quiz! 🙄 Thanks for watching 👍
I’m sure you don’t fill the rack with oil. At least you don’t fill the rubber boot with it… it gonna piss out when you turn. Like a water pistol .
You do mate! The boots are clamped on and the oil runs down the rack when you pour it down (and its quite thick) 👍
Not filling but adding enough oil to lubricate to the moving parts. No different to using oil in an engine the gaitors, not air tight, venting pressurised air.
Only put 100ml in - it might have looked like a lot on the video but it wasn't 👍
nice vic reeves impression.... just don't call the dove from above!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
3/4 is three quarter inch...
I was having a brain fart! 🤣
