A special woman that can clean bearings in gasoline and pack bearings in grease. God bless Tina. Paul you seem to be picking up some ViceGrip lingo. Great video as always.
The couples that play together stay together; love Tina’s tips for cleaning the bearings; suggestion: use safety glasses while using carb cleaner. If it splashes in your eyes it’s a major nightmare 😂Great call on reusing the brakes; it’s what I would’ve done. It’s incredible to see how far this car has come. When the paint gets restored and the rest of the work is done it’s going to look and drive awesome. And yes; all this work is a little bit of an escape from the world we’re living in since 2020; that and the Lord. Keep plugging away and God Bless.
Paul your humorous wrench turning expressions are Great. It's therapy to just tune in (click in) on Saturday morning with a cup of coffee to Paul Shinn. thanks you two
I remember my Dad’s shop and the bottles of different-sized Cotter pins on shelves, boxes and bottles of castle nuts (or crenellated nuts if you were of the upper class), genuine Ford water-pump pliers, master cylinders, and cans of Lubriplate and Texaco cup grease. A South Bend lathe on the bench, oh my yes!
What a great video!!! I thoroughly enjoy you and model T working on these classics together. Can’t wait to see the videos with you and Vice Grip Garage
Hi Paul. Since I was 11 I had a car to work on .From a "53 Ford , 68 Mustang,to a 30 Ford Tudor,and a .48 Chevy pick up street rod, always told people that when I walked into my garage ,the world disappeared for a while.Now more true than ever!
Good job on the packing of the bearings, Model T. I've been doing that method since the late 60's and it's the best way, I even showed my son's how to do it, when they were growing up. I hope you are paying her well, just kidding, no seriously, great job. I always learn something when I watch your videos, like how to tell the difference between steel and cast iron drums. Loved it, thanks Paul, hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
This is great. Thank you for showing us in detail how to clean the bearings. We hope you show us how you clean up and inspect the rear brakes when you get around to that Paul. Love you both!
Catching up on you videos! These are the perfect type of videos I line so I can get my 14 y/o involved on working on ours. He’s more a visual learner than wanting to look at a manual. You make this look very easy. I’m sure we could get this done in a weekend. Thanks again! Keep them coming!
Paul, I want to thank you for updating the video. It really helped out when I changed the bearings on my Model A. You and Model-T did a great job. Loved the part where she said, give the bearings a 'spa' treatment.
Good morning Paul. I was in Ione yesterday and a beautiful black Model A 4 door came down Preston and turned onto Main Street. I was sure it was you I rushed out the Post Office and waved at it but it was some stranger. Bitterly disappointed! Smies... But it was a really sweet ride.
Another slam dunk video. Very informative. As I was watching the video for some reason paul I was waiting for you to say I'm trying to get my bearings while doing these bearings. Lol. Sorry. I always try to use a good joke or comedy wherever I can. Life is to short to not have a good laugh. Especially whenever working on these cars. Can imagine gets the blood flowing. Meaning upset sometimes when something goes south. Anyways hope to see you at the model a day this upcoming weekend.
My cousin, who was a machanic by trade, had the same thoughts on grease being lotion. His wife, Bev, would often say, "Dennis has the softest hands. I jealous."
Keep a fan behind you when using those chemicals, 3 of my GM mechanic friends are dead now and the oldest was 45. I was a tune up and drivability technician but used a lot of chemicals rebuilding carburetors but still alive, guess I am lucky. Take care, Mike
Hey Paul put this in your description to help us navigate your video. 0:00 Intro 0:37 moving the cars around 1:26 Taking off the wheels 2:34 taking off the hubs 6:20 cleaning up the front brakes 7:49 Model T cleaning the bearings 10:24 rolled steel and cast iron brake drums 11:26 packing the wheel bearings 16:59 seating the bearings 18:16 putting the wheels back on 19:24 conclusion
Like a Pro on the bearing clean up and bearing packing, I use a gas brush to clean. I’m a wussy because I use the bearing packer. You can’t get enough grease on those bearings. Well maybe you can get too much grease on them. Your shop is a great place for AC. It seems so hot out there almost as hot as Texas Thanks for the video friends.
@@ModelA Cut in a window and install a big 220 volt unit. I should talk right. I hear in Florida they have window units with heat and AC. Is that what you mean by split or is it an inside outside unit, the cars and Tina would love it too.
Another great video, Paul! Do good to see another Gandalf video. Thank you for showing the difference in the drums. I was going to ask you how you can tell.
Great video as usual Mrs T packing the bearings was the high point for me . I know we mildly disagree on adjusting the bearings I seat as you do then fit the wheel and adjust until i get a slight "rock" at the rim . No shimmy or undue tyre wear . Taught this by Mr de Beer in Camps Bay garage in the fifties after school and week ends, days long gone but still remember him when I pack my bearings !!!
Another informative useful video. Y'all are the best. I'm glad the heat left Texas, sorry it went to California. Gonna be 56°in the morning. Actually got cool driving Ole Edgar this week at dark.
@@ModelA I would rather drive a female car rather than riding a male car. 😂😂 Stella is the Latin word for star and in biblical terms, it means Star of the sea. Hawaii is in the middle of the sea and after all your hard work, she’ll be the star. ⭐️🤙🏽
I haven't used gasoline as a cleaner since I was in my teens. The flammability has made me edgy. I currently use mineral spirits as a cleaner and it does a pretty good job.
Isn't it too soon for the '29 going back into hibernation? 😢 What happened to safety is the highest priority? No goggles!?!? You'll shoot your eye out! 🤓 Gandalf will soon be ready to rock 'n roll! I'm sure those tires will be fine for a short road trip, but probably a good idea to keep it under 80! Thank you Perry L Wilson! 👏
Hey there. I came into an old boat and trailer a few years back. After doing some research I found out that they used the front axle from a model t. It still has all the steering linkages and brake drums on her. I was wondering how hard is it to find the correct bearing for these? Thankyou
I drove a 1933 Ford I'm 6'4 I had to put my right leg on the other side of the gear selector when we were moving lol of course then moved it back to shift.. tight fit. Those are updated bearings
Hi Paul. Many thanks for taking the time to do these videos. You show things very clearly and are helping me so much. Almost every post has relevance to me and my Tudor. Kindest wishes, Seth from across the pond👍 ( oh and can anyone tell me if a coupe front fender with the spare wheel cutout would fit a Tudor?)
Since others are sharing their "gas as a cleaner" horror stories: my dad was a fire chief for about 15 years and worked a couple calls where people and property were hurt doing that. They also worked a barn fire that was started by a backfire while someone was pouring gas into a carburetor. The farmer was seriously hurt and the barn burned to the ground. Another guy was cleaning parts for his boat using a mason jar of gas while on a step stool. He lost his footing, dropped the jar and fell on it. That was before the nationwide 911 system so it took a while to find him because he passed out from blood loss before giving a good description of his location. By the time he was found he didn't have a discernible pulse, but they managed to save him. My dad said he was in a pool of blood in the kitchen with the phone in his hand. He also had some good calls and helped deliver two babies before leaving firefighting.
Cleaner than grandma’s driving record? My grandma had to promise not to drive in Wyoming in the 80’s to a highway police officer because she got boarded so she was clocked going 120 mph. Oh in the 1950’s she out ran the police in a studabaker. She loved the dodge hemi power. I miss her she loved hopped up cars and trucks. Yes monster trucks and tractor pulls too.
Hi Paul, on your 'Shocked' (mixed brake shoe video 2 years ago) you refered to those drums with a single rolled rim as 'Cast Iron" where as here you call them Original Steel drums! I'm confused now!
It might be interesting to put a torque adapter or something similar on when you are doing the hub nuts to see if there is a certain range of torque that it reaches commonly. Would finally be able to give a number when people as "how much hub nut torque?", Heh. It is silly how little big rigs need for them. 17,000 lbs of weight on each drive axle end, 44" tall tires and around 500lbs of rotating mass, 4" hub nut. 55lbs/ft of torque, heh.
So Paul , Is that typical of Model A's to have the Inner Bearing show Hot? Since you had both right and left side showing that they got Hot -- Or the fault of the previous one who adjusted them up last? --------- And even though the Cast Iron drum is heavier --- isn't it the one you want to get when it's time for new drums --- for better stopping?
The bearings got hot likely due to misuse at some time in the past, but not bad. They were not to the point of needing to be replaced. Yes, cast iron are the way to go.
1:31 - it's good to know that people keep the knowledge of the old-schoolers out there. Many broke their wrist when a lug nut suddenly kicked back! When you turn these drums out, what chucking method do you use to get it spinning true to the wheel bearings?
Lug nut kick back typically occurs when one forgets to place the nut lever in the retard position. Consult the Red book for an elaboration on the phenomenon.
Please don’t use open containers of gasoline to wash parts! Gasoline is very flammable and there are better safer solvents. For wheel bearings I personally use mineral spirits and an recyled peanut butter jar. The plastic jars are very robust and you can just shake one bearing at a time like a martini with no muss, no fuss. Keep the great videos coming. Model T and you are doing a great job!
You must be one of them wealthy fellers who can afford $20 per gallon fancy solvents! Gas is cheap, works great, and our grandfolks used it to clean parts for decades. We're just keeping a tradition alive! And we're poor folk.
@@ModelA You're killin' me Smalls... Fun fact, read the label on a can of paint thinner at the box store. It says 100% mineral spirits. Hmmm. for about $12. Right next to it on the shelf is a can labeled 100% mineral spirits for $22. I'm a bottom feeder. I buy the paint thinner. Doing it for decades. Regardless, lower flash point, a bit safer, and doesn't stink as much. I mean, hey, you don't want Model T washing bearing grease out of her hair with gasoline? What are we barbarians? Keep on keepin' on!
Great! Question? How large is your garage/shop? I'm one-step-closer to my dream of owning a Model A. I spent the last 8 months looking for a new home and last Friday I finally closed on a home in Connellsville Pa that has a nice large lot (about 1/2 acre). I have plenty of room to build my dream workshop/garage. It's going to be a while before I move in so I don't imagine starting the construction till next spring. I own 2 vehicles, an F150 and Toyota 4Runner. I'm looking to have a lift like yours installed, but also need to keep room for 2 vehicles (the 4Runner and the Model A). Your comments in this video suggested that your setup is somewhat annoying when having to move vehicles. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for a garage setup?
More space, more stuff stored. And soon you will be buying old vans and boxtrucks for "restoring" but you know in your heart that it's only storage space. So you build out your shop to store all the shit in your trucks and containers, but you never get around to move it to the new storage. And it's filled up with all the stuff you bought cheap from some old now dead hoarder of parts because his children really did not want to deal with all that junk and now its yours. So you need a new container, gets lucky and find a two for the price of one etc. And one day you die, and your children will sell all the old crap to someone like you... Well, thats my experience...
Hi paul do you have a video on rebuilding and adjusting the carburetor? I didn’t see one so maybe I missed it? I just got my 29 sport coupe is there any huge difference between that and your 31. Thanks Fred
@@ModelA Can you help me with the door latch adjustments. My passenger door appears to be latched you can’t pull it open or push it when you’re going down the road you hit a couple small bumps and the door unlatches open.
@@ModelA I assumed that 90 years of lubricant research makes modern lubricants do a much better job without breaking down. In the 1960s when I was doing my apprenticeship, cars needed an oil change much more often than today's cars. Yet even those older cars had oil filters and magnetic drain plugs.
Only time I've ever re-used cotter pins is when I realized I didn't have any new ones after I had already removed the old one and didn't another way into town to get more. Even then I only drove the minimum few miles into town and immediately replaced the old ones before going any further. Might have been 4 or 5 miles max of county road driving.
Never clean “anything” in gasoline!! I could tell you awful stories from my 50+ years of wrenching. Stay safe out there. I Enjoy your channel and Model A’s
I might suggest eye protection whenever using brake cleaner, or carb cleaner, out of a spray can. I’ve had it come back on me, I think most of us have. As a man who has lived the last 15 years with only one eye, from an accident, I’d like to save others from that fate.
Please help I think... I thought... I'd swear... In one of your videos you mentioned that Ford produced a Model A or T oriented towards Amish or Mennonites where there were not any chrome or embellishments; It was more plain or "modest" looking. Do you know what I'm talking about? Do I remember correctly? It's not the video in particular that I'm looking for but descriptions, differences, where to find pictures.... Thank you and God bless
@@ModelA ok. Thank you though. I appreciate your time and just that you personally respond. It's something that make you and Mrs. T special and better than other yt channels. God bless
Thanks Ross! Still just kinda jacked-up that I got to work with Derek on the video. What we did was once-in-a-lifetime stuff. When you see it, you'll know why I am still so excited about it!!
I was surprised you did not keep track of the bearings to return them to the original locations since these bearings wore to the races? The only way to pack bearings... by hand. Used to do them before disposable gloves and of course just as your hands are all greasy you had a nose/face ich and/or had to pee! Much nicer with the nytril gloves. 😊
About 35 years ago I worked with a guy that was doing some work on his motorcycle and using gasoline as solvent . He had a one stall attached garage he was working in , when the water heater kicked in . He had forgotten it was in the garage . He survived, but was never the same . He used to joke " if you think I look bad , you should see the garage " . I did see the garage, and still don't know how he survived , Please be careful guys .

For wheel bearings I personally use mineral spirits and an recyled peanut butter jar. The plastic jars are very robust and you can just shake one bearing at a time like a martini with no muss, no fuss. Keep the great videos coming. Model T and you are doing a great job!
You must be one of them wealthy fellers who can afford $20 per gallon fancy solvents! Gas is cheap, works great, and our grandfolks used it to clean parts for decades. We're just keeping a tradition alive! And we're poor folk.
@@ModelA You're killin' me Smalls... Fun fact, read the label on a can of paint thinner at the box store. It says 100% mineral spirits. Hmmm. for about $12. Right next to it on the shelf is a can labeled 100% mineral spirits for $22. I'm a bottom feeder. I buy the paint thinner. Doing it for decades. Regardless, lower flash point, a bit safer, and doesn't stink as much. I mean, hey, you don't want Model T washing bearing grease out of her hair with gasoline? What are we barbarians? Keep on keepin' on!
But.... gasoline and brake kleen are my go-to fragrances!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
How do you replace the race with the bearings?
I can tell you've been working with Derek! 😂
Nahhhh... Did it rub off?
@@ModelA happens to us all!
What are your thoughts on the floater brake kits?
I prefer to fix the brakes properly, not put a bandaid on poor performing brakes with floater kits.
@@ModelA Thank you for the reply.
Great! Question? How large is your garage/shop? I'm one-step-closer to my dream of owning a Model A. I spent the last 8 months looking for a new home and last Friday I finally closed on a home in Connellsville Pa that has a nice large lot (about 1/2 acre). I have plenty of room to build my dream workshop/garage. It's going to be a while before I move in so I don't imagine starting the construction till next spring. I own 2 vehicles, an F150 and Toyota 4Runner. I'm looking to have a lift like yours installed, but also need to keep room for 2 vehicles (the 4Runner and the Model A). Your comments in this video suggested that your setup is somewhat annoying when having to move vehicles. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for a garage setup?
No matter what size you build, it isn't big enough! mine is 26 x 30. way too small for what I do now.
make sure to build it high enough for a lift, they are relatively inexpensive and add years to your ability to work comfortably on cars.
Make sure the Cement Slab floor when poured will be the Correct thickness and Material, to safely install a Lift
More space, more stuff stored. And soon you will be buying old vans and boxtrucks for "restoring" but you know in your heart that it's only storage space. So you build out your shop to store all the shit in your trucks and containers, but you never get around to move it to the new storage. And it's filled up with all the stuff you bought cheap from some old now dead hoarder of parts because his children really did not want to deal with all that junk and now its yours. So you need a new container, gets lucky and find a two for the price of one etc. And one day you die, and your children will sell all the old crap to someone like you... Well, thats my experience...
Great job modle T. My wife would never pack bearings.
Fref
Hi paul do you have a video on rebuilding and adjusting the carburetor? I didn’t see one so maybe I missed it? I just got my 29 sport coupe is there any huge difference between that and your 31. Thanks
Fred
Yes I have, two of them. Mostly cosmetic differences
Oh great thanks. do you know where to get nee Side braces on the side canvas top

Can you help me with the door latch adjustments. My passenger door appears to be latched you can’t pull it open or push it when you’re going down the road you hit a couple small bumps and the door unlatches open.
Thanks Paul
How or where do you get your drums turned? Do you do it yourself, and if so, can you show us?
I do it. No I can't show you because the comment section safety weenies would be all over me about it!
@@ModelA Do you use a lathe or a mill/combo? Can you state what model you use? That would help. If you can't, I understand. Thanks.
I think you can always email me. I'm one of your monthly donators if you want in PayPal. My email should be there somewhere. Thanks.
Thanks Scotty! I have an old Standard station drum turning setup, I think from the 50's. It's pretty ugly and looks sketchy, but I know how to use it.
@@ModelA That's what I learned on back when I was a kid in the 60's.
Hey, Paul, have you ever seen a spring installed around a drum?
Cuts down on the noise.
Yes.
The spring was more to control vibration and reduce cracking of the drum than noise control.
14:20 Packing the bearings: How do modern greases and lubricants compare to those used in the 1930s?
Modern ones taste better?
@@ModelA I assumed that 90 years of lubricant research makes modern lubricants do a much better job without breaking down. In the 1960s when I was doing my apprenticeship, cars needed an oil change much more often than today's cars. Yet even those older cars had oil filters and magnetic drain plugs.
@@ModelA Oh, and there were grease nipples on the steering gear, springs etc. Does a modern car repair shop even own a grease gun any longer?
Paul: You are even starting to sound like Derick LOL... If you say "I Don't know"... I just don't know!!! Then I'll really laugh.
Haa!!
Tina mentioned something about Paul fixing the next meal?😇
I do most of the cooking
Ray Charles never installs the wrong cotter pin. That would be Stevie Wonder.
Hahahaa!
Would have loved to see the drum "turning" !!
I would get a lot of flak in the comments if people saw how I turn drums.
@@ModelA Come On Man !! :)
Doncha know dat de song is 'Tambourine Man'?
Mr. Tambourine Man!
Oops! I stand corrected!
Rotate your "stock" daily to ensure freshness!
Only time I've ever re-used cotter pins is when I realized I didn't have any new ones after I had already removed the old one and didn't another way into town to get more. Even then I only drove the minimum few miles into town and immediately replaced the old ones before going any further. Might have been 4 or 5 miles max of county road driving.
Paul hear in Denver Thursday 09/098/22the high was 100 digress Yester day 09/10/22It high was 58.
I will send some cold to you!
We need it. Thanks!
Never clean “anything” in gasoline!! I could tell you awful stories from my 50+ years of wrenching. Stay safe out there. I Enjoy your channel and Model A’s
I was trying to count the Dereckisms. He has certainly influenced your vocabulary in the time you spent together.
Yes...

I might suggest eye protection whenever using brake cleaner, or carb cleaner, out of a spray can. I’ve had it come back on me, I think most of us have. As a man who has lived the last 15 years with only one eye, from an accident, I’d like to save others from that fate.
She normally does. Just just happened to miss one time here and everyone is on her!!
Please help
I think... I thought... I'd swear...
In one of your videos you mentioned that Ford produced a Model A or T oriented towards Amish or Mennonites where there were not any chrome or embellishments; It was more plain or "modest" looking. Do you know what I'm talking about? Do I remember correctly? It's not the video in particular that I'm looking for but descriptions, differences, where to find pictures.... Thank you and God bless
I don't recall saying such a thing, sorry.
@@ModelA ok. Thank you though. I appreciate your time and just that you personally respond. It's something that make you and Mrs. T special and better than other yt channels. God bless

No need to drop Derek's Vice Grip Garage name on your videos. Your videos are good on their own. Be yourself ;)
Thanks Ross! Still just kinda jacked-up that I got to work with Derek on the video. What we did was once-in-a-lifetime stuff. When you see it, you'll know why I am still so excited about it!!

😢wrench? Don’t you mean the crank handle, good advice when cranking!
We use the pulley nut wrench to turn the motors over. It can go CW and CCW.
I was surprised you did not keep track of the bearings to return them to the original locations since these bearings wore to the races? The only way to pack bearings... by hand. Used to do them before disposable gloves and of course just as your hands are all greasy you had a nose/face ich and/or had to pee! Much nicer with the nytril gloves. 😊
Assuming the spindles are not worn, it doesn't matter.
Derek's comments and style are making there way into your channel, eh
Work with a feller very day for a week straight and stuff happens.
About 35 years ago I worked with a guy that was doing some work on his motorcycle and using gasoline as solvent . He had a one stall attached garage he was working in , when the water heater kicked in . He had forgotten it was in the garage . He survived, but was never the same . He used to joke " if you think I look bad , you should see the garage " . I did see the garage, and still don't know how he survived , Please be careful guys .
That's why we were outside
Should use kerosene instead of gasoline- this very dangerous for the average person- I’m a professional machine repairman journeyman
I don't have kerosene. but have lots of gas.
Using gasoline for parts cleaner is just plain stupid with all the available parts cleaners out there
Then I guess I'm stupid
@@Modeltshinn I agree with you Ms T
