I was stood talking with your dad today at our depo 😅 I pulled up and jumped out the van and it's only the professional strugglers dad 😂 small world! Hes a pleasure to speak too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Salt of the earth our old man mate 😊 the very best person you could ever meet💯 and that’s a fact, cheers Conor mate 👌
I didn’t know you liked SAF axels so much that’s brilliant to know as we have a fleet of trailers well 50 to be precise all with SAF axles we can’t find anyone to work on them so will give you a call 😂😂
I got to tell you Chris, I am a mobile hgv mechanic inspired to go out on my own by you. I was filling out my diary last night trying to watch this at the same time, minding my own business, my little 4 year old Penelope sat beside me and out of nowhere she asked what day it was tomorrow, I said Friday and in a short time she shouted out it’s FRIDAYYY WOOP WOOP well talk about doubled up in stitches I was thanks for giving us another laugh as always
That lever you didn't know what it was is a TELMA brake it works with electric magnets on the prop shaft i had one on a 8wheel tipper when you used it at night all ya lights went dim 😂😂
Bloody good show Chris i can remember when it where £1.20 a beer 🍺😂Now its a bloody rip off. I make me own 😂😂
Always got a smile on his face does Chris he really is the unstoppable struggler machine
Bloody good show 👏
That lever on the Volvo probably used to be connected to a Telma retarder, big heavy magnetic unit would have been between gearbox and diff, used to be common on coaches before internal gearbox design like we have now
Awesome video thanks struggler don't work too hard mate 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌞😉🔧🛠️🚛🚜🤑🤠
Some graft put in there Chris fair play 👊🫡
Just a thought Chris, now that the Welderfabber has branched out on his own, will you and Bazz be meeting up again?
Watching the time-lapse is basically you smacking thing with a hammer 😂😂 great videos
your very patient with your customer watching your every move
Another job well done Chris.. fair play to ya, your not shy of hard graft! Were a dying breed.. 👍🏻💰

Hello Chris I am a 54 year old hgv struggler in France (originally from Nottingham)I've been living here now for 22 years do you not have the SAF integral kits in the UK? Over here they are 900 euros an axle £700 ish for you everything new except the caliper carry on the struggle, my breton missus says me and you could be brothers, same fashion sense, weight and hair style keep up the good work..
Well done Chris and Dan Bloody good show guys
Those durite jump packs will start a self propelled sugar beet harvester, each battery is about 1000A starts them no bother
Cracking work Chris.
Nice work Chris 👍
Bloody good show
Nice one Chris 👍
Afternoon Chris, I watched the official video on TH-cam from SAF, showing how to change their drums and discs.
The bloke never even had a hammer and there was no swearing !
Lots of expensive looking special tools though.
I bet it was all brand new & never been hot...lol...
I watched it too and learnt a lot about specialist tools etc and torque.
What SAF should do is make a new video when an operator has a seized nut scenario and see how they deal with the procedure.
That said I watch a recent video when a fitter just rattled it off with an inch drive milwaukee cordless
Love the break dust plume as the drum comes off. Great work love the videos Thanks Chris
Il also be at truckfest in a blue land rover d2 il try and keep my eyes open for u
Great stuff as always...
Looks like a great company to work for love this episode
Quality as usual pal 👌
Keep up the great vlogs Chris 👍👍. Happy to help with the church community hall 🙏👍👍
Little lever is a telma
I remember my dad had one in a volvo coach he used to drive
Great video Chris,
Great work and content.
What a bloody struggle again with the saf hubs but at least you were having a bloody good laugh this time to keep your mind off the struggle bloody good show ye it was.
See you on the next one
Whoop whoop.
Go on Chris
That Volvo might have had an Telma electric retarder on it. They fit on the drive shaft out the back of the gearbox and between the rear axle. They work like the reverse of an electric motor and as you pull the lever it powers up the retarder more and more with each click of the lever. This then brakes the drive, means you don’t have to use the standard brakes as much and are not as hard on the engine as an exhaust brake. Means you can also keep the engine revs up. We had them on the underground mine trucks, due to long downhill runs fully loaded
Agreed, I think they were once mandatory at one time especially if they were operating in Italy and Switzerland.
@@johncollier7744 they are a great job, just have to be careful not to hold it in position 4 (full power) for too long or else they over heat. Normally position 2 was good. Just holds it back without affecting your normal driving
Yes we had them in the fire service, but it was operated via the throttle and footbrake. The first stage came in when you lifted off the throttle and second third and fourth stages when you applied the footbrake depending on how hard you pressed. We had a speed sensor to only activate it about 5mph and was interfaced through the abs. They saved us thousands in brake relies and the drivers loved them because of the additional braking power it gave them.
More commonplace on coaches, smooth braking and reduces brake wear.
Al needs to fit some LED spots to my Hilux.
Your stamina for hard graft is amazing. Knackered just watching.well done mate.Enjoy the truck show.
awsome
Chris I remember the saf axel when you had a barrow of the puller they was the same plys in I remember right it was parked tite close they had to move it so you could work on it 👍🏻
SAF (Sick As Fuck) axles when your asked to do the job. 😂😂
That clulite head torch is very good mate use them all the time
That looked like a very satisfying shoe and drum change!
Honestly truth this mate I find myself in traffic looking at trailers and thinking fuck saf axial s some poor sod got some shit coming since I been watching you Education at its finest ❤😂😂😂😂⚓🛠️🤠 JB
Dont know whether or not you've tried it or not Chris but it could well be worth you getting some Metaflux torsion spray. We use it to loosen hard to undo nuts upto 80mm on farm tackle and it works wonders. Keep up the struggle.
Hi Chris i think that is for your overdrive. Robert.
How do you ever get any work done so much banter with every one lol
If you think £4.60 is dear for a pint you’ll pass out if you come down south 😂 £6.30 for anything decent down here. struggle at work, struggle at the pub.
Jesus, that’s pretty cheap £9 round London in places. One lad was out the weekend, £10 a pint. There’s also a bar like the stock exchange, if the drinks popular it increases in price through the night, one minute it’s £7 quid, and hour later it costs more, mad. Goes the other way as well.
Can be a little naughty them jump boxes, I blew a body module on a daf. I always put lights on now when jumping helps reduce the surge 👍
Saf solid as fuck 😂😂
Did our notebook low loader today Chris torque settings on the hub nuts are 150nm plus 30 degrees give my regards to Danny as I met him and his father many years ago when they came and looked at out old f16 and f12 globetrotters in Suffolk. Crack on mate.
I always replaced the ABS sensors when i had a hub off it cost more to take the hub back off
Chris, put a pepper pot nozzle on the gas bottles, and gently warm the nuts up…. POP of they come .
Bloody good show! Been waiting for this mate since you said there was a video out this week. I'm sure the daines Lowe boys use them jump packs you after ask Sam pal
Yep yep! They’re a cracking bit of kit. We showed Chris when he came up last. No expensive either really. 👍🏼🤜🏼
@@daines-lowe I thought it was what you boys use. Ino off your video that yous swear by them. Something that small and he was going to jump start a truck with it.
Hated working on SAF axles thankfully didn't have to do it that often parts were bloody hard to get nobody local kept anything on the shelf and it had to be ordered normally took over a week to get parts keep struggling
SAF axles - Seized And Fucked
Ah yes good old SAF (soft & fucked)😂😂, I’ve NEVER had one that’s come off without the drill and split, trailer hubs and drums/shoes the staple of every apprentices 1st year 😂😂😂, no wonder I chucked the wagons and eventually ended up fixing trains 😂😂
GREAT VIDEOS CHRIS
WHY DID YOU CHANGE ALL THE HUBS WERE THE SHOES THAT WORN , ASKING BECAUSE IM LOOKING AT THE SAME TRAILER TO BUY 😊
Where them lights from please or make thank you ❤❤❤❤
Chris, it might be worth investing in a torque multiplier for those SAF nuts.
Agreed. He said that heating it up would bugger the threads. But seems the chisel way could damage the threads just as easily.
Was about to post the same thing, myself had a 1/2" drive torque multipler when I was in industrial repair.got tired of jumping on cheaterbar, and smashing hand with 5lb er . Able to sell it when retired. Tks Chris entertaining video.
Thing is tight arse struggler won't even buy a dedicated 85mm socket
I bought a cheap multiplier and it's worth it's weight in skin and claret
It would be interesting to know if it would work and maybe gas bottles in an aerosol freeze spray or washing up liquid
Been thinking I might be able to get a good deal on some SAF axles if you really like them🇨🇦
Hello Chris, is that Saf axle sort for saft 😊
Where is the gofundme link chris ??
hi chris, i am sure i recognize kevin. did he used to drive for marleys at burton.
Hi mate yes kev did drive for markets burton. I will say hello for you.
@@danielmcnulty708 cheers mate, i worked in the garage at beenham,
is it not quicker to slit it with a grinder Chris.
What days you going truck fest as I’d love to meet you and the kids
Hard days graft Chris. Can't beat a set of drum brakes last for ever compared to disc and pads. Forever putting pads in every 2/3 month and its a bloody miracle if the calipers not f&#ked
S A F should have a solution for this seized nut thread malarkey is it lack of special grease on the threads or over torque never had any trouble with old Leyland stuff
Its just fine sh1t threads. There is no better way than what Chris does!...
@@matthewcadle7200 I assume it's at manufacture and build them up dry or aerosol lube on the threads and not proper grease. I reckon a lot of operators have switched due to high maintenance costs and are Sick As F### with SAF
Old Bedfords and Leylands had the same axle nuts till they went for scrap after many miles of service
@@mondodaftasabrush They probably do build them dry and over tighten them, but they don't care as they won't be taking them off. And they are made as cheep and quick as possible I bet!.
@@matthewcadle7200 150 newton metres and rotate the hub 5 times and then a final torque of 30 degrees
Maybe trailer fitters are over torque the fixing but clever design on the nut to show 30 degrees
So pleased I am out of it trailer or hub bashing
👊👍🤙💪👌
Well lucky with those hubs chris I hate saf bpw is the way forward 🎉
Coming soon new improved wireless battery charger lol
You did say (whacking off) didn’t you Chris?😂
The telescope will save you climbing up high to look for repairs !?.
Cris I don’t know how you workout a rate of pay for the work you do , 10 30 pm and just finished,,,,, John retired driver / fitter
How do you price a job like that? Must b3 so difficult?
Mates rates 😉
Shi* And Fuc**d axles the best eh Chris
Just a point was the block not to Deep ? Needs to be under the round part Not under the angle, I find a jack is best for that job ? Jack just over centre, Pre load bar, One good clout with the sledge, Job Done lol,
I am only a part time struggler though, Same applies to wheel nuts that some clown has overtightend with an Air Gun, Looks like you had all the gear their especially to pre load the bar ffs, Did the Man on the sledge need more sleep at night lol, Keep Bolloxing on all the best.
Try once.then drill them bastad nuts .. I used to wrap the threads with tape after getting the nut off just incase I dropped the hub on there
I'd be glad if i never see another one of them SAF axle.
What's happened to Alex Channel chris ?
I'm here. Unfortunately, life got busy, but I'm going to start editing videos again soon 👍
Chris you know why them hubs fell off because of that drink you’ve been having and if you’d of had more your 1/2” wizz popper would of took the hub nuts off 👍
Been a hard shift but it looks as glamourus a job as agri and drainage contractor muck and grease and shite everywhere. 😁😜
You know what SAF means Chris (sad as fuck) because that’s what It makes you when you have to work on them 😂 hopefully see you at truck fest my old man wants me to face time him again with you like a donnington 🤣
saf = sILLY aS fOOK !
BLEEDING SAF
Just a pity he wouldnt listen to you and your years of struggling
SAF = Stay Away From
