You will always get a thumps up from me, I can tell that your a down to earh hard working gentleman who enjoys helping people.
thank you. 👍
Same here. I like genuine down to earth people. All the best to you
Thank you for taking the time to show those wanting to learn.
That’s pure genius rigging the press to fit over the spindle! Great video!
This it's the third time you have given me a great idea you just saved me 1000.00 bucks with your HF press idea well done budd appreciated
Brother please use safety glasses. You seem like a decent tech. Would not want you to lose your eyesight. Godbless and thanks for the video!
thank you, yes i can get a little lax on safety gear, need to make improvements in that area. you guys calling me out on it does help keep it fresh in my mind.
Jimmy E Robinson super video
Maybe is worst if a piece of plastic gets in to the eye, just saying.
@@victorsuarez2954 a proper rated safety glasses won't shatter. It may crack or get deformed but I haven't seen it cracked like the windshield does. I have seen quite a few incidents and safety glasses does really help a lot, but we have our own beliefs and I respect that.
If you use a hammer even to drive a nail it's best to have safety glasses.
Never grind anything without eye protection nor fool with Freon without eye protection.
Good video.
you would make a great truck school teacher, love your videos
Kool bro. Video very informative and easy to follow. Thanks a lot man!
This is a great video - I am replacing King Pins on my 1967 MC5A Bus and am having trouble finding a shop who will do the job. I've got mine all apart and am looking for someone to replace the bushings but maybe now I can figure it out myself. Thanks for taking the time to document.
Hey that looks like a good weekend job glad to watch a video taught me a lot
That was very thorough. Great video, thank you.
Satisfying job , bet the steering felt smooth !
I freakin love semis. They are built so damn simple amd so easy to work on. Id work on a semi all day before i work on a car or pickup.
Just did one of these jobs, as usual I watch Mr ezrider and laugh how I was told to do it. I like your style, and sometimes it takes backyard mechanic skill to get it done. Thanks again
You make it look so easy, Thank you
best mechanic videos ever seen keep up the good work
In Korea...I watched this . I love and respect you.
Thank you
Such a professional mechanic. I wish you were close in my area.
I just got put out of service in the December 2019 DOT inspection with king pins. Sucks, I'm just a 1-truck (International 4300) company, now without any income and not enough cash for the repair. Your video is tempting me to give it a go in my driveway. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to post this video!!! I got shit faced one night and did a face plant on a beer can in my driveway. I got the same black eye, I feel your pain. My license renewal was due the next week so now my new license picture is proof of what an asshole I am. However, people that ask for my ID get a great, drunken story. Thank you again for you video!!!
Appreciate the video sure helped me out. Keep up the good work brother
Thats that A+ effort work. Congrats.
Your videos are great, fun to watch and i don't even work on large trucks!
My bearing is out on my drivers side.I was told it's from not jacking the weight off the wheel before greasing.But anyway I'm tackling this job on my only day off on my w9.Thanks for the video!Hope mine come out easy!
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Congratulations Compadre, you made good job. Thank you
Great job on those king pins. Very good videos
I just started watching your channel and it is pretty good. Don't let peoples comments upset you. The only person you need to worry about is the one who sleeps next to you hopefully that's your wife. God bless and keep on trucking!
Great video. You make it look Ez.
Went to vocational school 3 years to be a diesel and truck mechanic. Been doing since 1980 even after i started driving. Please use safety glasses (I've had 2 major eye surgeries on my left eye and was blind in my left eye for 3 weeks ( HORRIBLE feeling) protect those eyes son !!!
I thought i was the only one who used a hone to clean and size the bores 👍👍👍 you did DAMN good !!! Always put the shims between the axle and the top bushing boss (you DID !!) Good job and great video. ALL THE BEST SIR.
London England Respects you!!!!! Thumbs Up!!!
I’m learning a lot from ur videos new subscriber
Excellent video. Thanks for your expertise.
You sure have helped me out on a lot of stuff
glad to hear it thank you
Excellent idea using cut down press. I can use that on backhoe pin also
Really good information Thanks!
I'm on my 2nd truck in 2 weeks doing kingpins, 1 side came out easy, the other was the king pin from hell. I wish I'd seen this video 2 weeks ago.
Great video buddy
Awesome stuff bud.
Very ingenious modification of the press.
Great video. Great work. Safety first. Subscribed.
I've finally found a O/O channel, thanks, new suscriber...👍👍
glad your enjoying the channel.
That’s funny. I was changing a Motor mount on a Mack and the spacer or metal thing inside the bushing came down and smacked me in the mouth. I thought I was going to be missing a tooth for a bit until I got the feeling back in my mouth
Glad I found your channel , good mechanic .
thank you, glad you are enjoying the channel
Badass video you know what your doin!👌
Your videos kick ass brother. I'm a mobile tech, new to bigger trucks... You're making me some money!! 🤘
Thank you
Hey it happened to me to black eye lol I thought I was the only one great video
Very precise DIY expert videos. This guy has
I love your 'can do' attitude.
Thank you
Great video thanks for the help
Greate video! Ben there, done that in forgetting the safety glasses. Have a few war wounds myself. I like the idea of the press, I'm going to try it. Thanks for the information
the press worked really good, put some legs on it after this and now it makes a really handy bench top press as well. pretty sure i actually broke my face when this happened cause almost a year later now still have some mild pain where i got hit and can feel a large indention in the bone just under my eye socket where i got smacked in the face....lol
Very good..it helps me a lot in changing King pin...
Well done
Great explanation
Made that OOOOhhhhhhh noise at the drift coming back at your eye. Recently had a big old chunk of metal embed in my eyebal in a similar occurrence. I wear safety glasses now.
Was wearing glasses when I happened got hit on the bone under my eye near my nose that bone was broken just didn't know it yet at the time
I join you channel today and it's very helpful I like your work 👍
Great work sir, like your videos.
Great Job mate!!!
Thank you
I am very glad you are ok after all that👍
nice video, I'm gonna be doing kingpins soon.
Sorry Brother. Hope your eye get better soon, protect safety glasses. You do great job and I like your videos.
stay safe and healthy.
God Bless You,
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the extra attention to detail not many mechanics will teach you much ? I am doing king pins on a new flyer bus with no instructions? your video helps
thank you, hope your project goes smooth.
Very fun when I do this 30 years ago, we use heat and big hammer,the old way .😊
Thanks buddy was fighting the same problem and went over to harbor freight and bought the 12 ton press and cut the legs down and it worked fine
glad to hear it. 👍
You helped me a lot.
Great video
Man oh man. Please take care of yourself. Those stubborn kingpins are what took me out in 2010. Thankyou for the great video. Be safe.
Thanks for sharing nice job 👍
I know the feeling when it comes to stuck kingpins. The 1.5" ones are a nightmare, the 2" ones come out easier. As a recommendation, when i get a frozen wedge pin, i heat it up cherry red with a torch. Then I lean on it with an air hammer. When it comes to the kingpin, i heat the spindle just a little, and then drive it out with an air chipping hammer. Sometimes i alternate between the chipping hammer, and the 16 .lb sledgehammer. Some guys use kingpin presses, but they are expensive, and don't fit all trucks. And if possible, i like using the spiral kyser king pin kits. No reaming, hardened steel bushings, and they last forever. Hope this helps.
That was a dam good video king pins are always a pain.
thanks, i appreciate it. kingpins are not too bad as long as things are not seized/stuck. ok your right there always a pain...lol
Thanks man, but please wear your safety glasses.... I love your videos 👍
the press is a good idea i took an old kingpin and welded a long piece of key stock to it so someone can hold it while the other guy swings the sledge. i heated mine with a rosebud and with luck about 5-6 swings they fell right out
Great job
Great video, thank you
I just found your channel today and I’ve been binging on them ever since. Excellent content!! I’m a truck and heavy equipment field mechanic. Your work is spot on. Keep up the great work brother!!!!!!!!
Hey ezrider I really like your channel bro I also work on my own equipment and always trying to learn more maintenance
glad your enjoying the channel
Glad you were not hurt anymore than you were. Your description of the mach 2 drift was entertaining, but as Mr. Robinson indicated, safety glasses are not a bad idea.
Glasses would have shattered at Mach 2 haha
Man awesome job!! And video! New sub
thank you
Good job bro
Modified shop press is a great idea wish we had one in the pauper shop replacing the king pins on wench truck 31
Lol, hope you have been doing well
Great video! Thanks
glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
My kind of tech. Down to earth.
Genius using the HF press like an oversized tiger tool.
I love me some harbor freight too!!
I'm a retired truck mechanic, I remember the old days when the new bushings were just a brass bushing that you installed and then you used a great big reamer and reamed and reamed until the king pin fit the bushing. it was a lot of work. Then later they came up with plastic bushings which was real easy, but they didn't last very long.
Great video.
thank you
Tell you another thing. We always used the no reams. They run a 100 bucks more but man the time savings we’re equal. Love them no reams
Good job.
Thanks for the video
Since I only done mine twice, I decided to take it to a shop. Some repairs are no for the dyi trucker.
So sorry to hear about your eye - dang it!
Glad you were successful though
Stemco no ream bushings and pins are the best super easy !
Glad to see nearly 200k views!
didn't realize this video that that many views kinda a old video that just keeps slowly growing over a long period of time.
Largest king pin I've ever seen
nice work
Thank you👍👍
PT blaster spray ,3 pound hammer and cheater bar pipe helps ; also gloves and plastic face shield .
Thank you for the video where did you get your bearing removal and install tool? I'm working on mine now old ones are the kiser no hone and don't come out real easy.
This field looks like its for people Tuff as Nails
Im 17 and gonna need to decide on a field soon (Diesel tech/mechanic is at a 60% chance right now)
Hopefully if i get into the field pray that Tampa got alot of good companies/positions open
One hit and the little pin came right out, must be nice. Last one we did took an air hammer and a torch and many hours just to remove the little pins, forget the kingpin itself.
Nice work.
Thank you
Last one i did i didn't line up pinch bolt. Needless to say i cannot talk like that on u tube.lol thanks again
I think I mentioned lining up the pinch bolt...lol I have made that mistake before as well.
Good job👍👍👍
Thank you
