    Dude I swear. Every time cleeter makes/participates in a video with another TH-camr, regardless of the topic of the video/channel it’s always amazing. He’s such an aura of just... content I guess. It’s pretty magical.

    Man, this brings me back to 2010-2011 where we used to piece together and build all this stuff ourselves. Most of these drift car parts were developed in house by angle crazed twenty year olds with no money. 🤣 Its crazy how far it’s come. These kits look like such a time saver and much less if a headache to fix or maintain. Absolutely awesome. 😎

    I have a wilwood handbrake calliper setup identical to this. Can be very hard to bleed properly. Shouldn't have to pump it like that however. Should lock perfectly with one pull. Should be solid. I use 0.625 master cylinder with a shorter leaver. I know 0.7 works well too. When I bleed mine I remove one bolt from the calliper to the bracket, rotate calliper so its as vertical as possible and then bleed (so nipple is at the top). Still enough contact with disk when you do that. Also jack the rear of the car as high (keep front of car on ground) as you can to ensure bleed nipple is highest point of the system. Works very very well. Locks easily in every scenario.

    To remove a steering wheel without a puller using an air hammer:
    Break nut loose and leave threaded half way on column.
    Have a buddy pull up on steering wheel.
    Use an air hammer with a blunt point on the column (center of the nut) for a couple seconds.
    Done!

  • @-tr0n
    @-tr0n 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a FYI for anyone watching, if you're having trouble getting a wheel off or you can't use a puller on it...use heat! 10 seconds with a MAPP gas torch and bingo, she's off.
    Just a little addition, if you're working on older cars, use heat on EVERYTHING metal. Any nut that seems a bit rusty or you're worried about stripping threads etc, go guy yourself a $20 MAPP torch (yellow bottle, propane and putane aren't hot enough IMO) and hit that shit for 20-30 seconds. You don't have to get anything red hot or risk burning things down. Don't be afraid of the fire, the fire is your friend.

PS Cleetus has probably pulled the suspension off of C5 more then anyone with all of the work done on Leeroy.
