Great video Jimmy, really helpful. I’ll have a go at replacing the damper on my Ifor Williams now.
Thank you!
Chris
Best of luck with it, learn from my mistakes 👍
Thank you Jimmy, for a great, honest 'how to' video. Your learning was our learning, and it has given me the confidence to have go!! Much appreciated
I appreciate you watching.
Good luck with yours, all the best,
Jimmy 👍
What a genuine guy. Cheers brother.really helped.
Really appreciate your kind comment, glad it helped you.

I am going to tackle my GD84 now I watched your video. Thanks.
Beat of luck, hope it isn't as stressful for you as it was for me 👍
Great informative video mate.
It's good to see you going at it in an honest way with regards hitting problems during the fix.
A lot of instructional videos edit these issues out (usually identified by 2 day stubble and a plaster on their hand) 😃
Thank you, very much appreciated. It was a lot harder than it needed to be.
What a great, honest, and very helpful video. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
It was a bit of a faff but I'm sure it will be easier from now on.
I was losing the will to live by the end 🤣🤣
@@JimmyTheMower But, that's what makes it a great video, you've shown us what we REALLY need to know, not just "undo these bolts and Bob's yer uncle" When I do mine, I'll know what to look out for. Cheers
@sdavey10 thank you.
I try and be honest in all of my videos.
Especially review videos.
Good luck with your damper 👍
Glad I found your video tutorial. Saves me a lot of hassle... Going to replace the damper right now👍 Greetings from New Zealand.
I hope it all went well.
Thanks for watching,
Jimmy 👍
@@JimmyTheMower It went well, very easy (if you know what you're doing). Thank you👍
That's great news 😀
Wow, I really appreciate your video, My BV105 G is banging but now i know why and what to do,Great
Good luck fixing it 👍
Wow. This is what is wrong with our 3.5 dispension trailer. Very informative video thankyou , think i will get it done as soon as poss.. m
Glad the video has helped you, it was a bit of a struggle but I got there in the end.
I'm sure it will be a lot easier now I know what I'm doing.
Best of luck,
Jimmy 👍
Good job Jimmy mate .. lots of good information
Cheers mate 👍
spot on technique - was wondering how i was going to compress mine and 10 mins after watching this it was fitted to my brian james tilt bed only thing i had to do was make a bridge over the hydraulic tilt ram using block paving and a 4x4 piece of wood -- thanks
Fantastic innovation. Well done on getting it done 👍
Good stuff Jimmy , doing what you do best
Tearing my hair out while trying to fix something 🤣🤣🤣
@@JimmyTheMower your a top reviewers no easy options in life mate but you make it look nature and easy .
Thank you 👍
Brilliant. Thank you very much
My absolute pleasure, hope it all goes well for you 👍
Thanks for useful info!
My absolute pleasure, I'm glad you found it useful.
All the best,
Jimmy 👍
@@JimmyTheMower just about to do mine one!👍 had no clue.
Neither did I 🤣🤣
There was a lot more to it than I first thought but I would happily do them all the time now.
Best of luck with it 👍
Thank you
Top man
My absolute pleasure 👍
Well done for giving it a go but daymn you made that look hard!! Legend for using chrome sockets on an impact gun tho haha
Oh, also the damper doesn't release the brakes when reversing, the front shoe is spring loaded to release when reversing. You're welcome :)
Doesn't the damper have an override on these ?
@@JimmyTheMower No, if you think about it when you need to brake hard (i.e in an emergency) the damper would be fully depressed and at that point the last thing you would want is the brakes to release! The damper is just a shock absorber for the drawtube so you don't get kicked up the arse every time you brake. The drawtube pushes a lever attached to the braking rod to engage the brakes.
The auto reverse function of the brakes is controlled in the drums, the forward facing brake shoe is spring loaded so when the wheel is in forward motion the brakes apply as normal but in reverse they release from the drum allowing you to reverse.
Overrun is controlled by the damper, if you're travelling downhill with a heavy trailer the damper will collapse slightly engaging the trailer brakes so your trailer doesn't overrun or force you to go faster down the hill.
@@MarkMacRae-kp5nx A classic case of the blind leading the blind. Thank you for your qualified input. With regard to use of tools, I would never use a ratchet to hold the bolt when using an impact gun. What i wanted to confirm, is whether these couplings don't have drawer tube bushes? My memory says they don't..
No they don't.
The push rod goes through a small block but it isn't bushed.
Could you please make a video about dismantling the towing support wheel? 😊
Yes I will, this is on the list for the new year.
I will try and make it as soon as I can.
Thanks for watching,
Jimmy 👍
Fascinating and way more complicated than it originally looked. Great instructional video. If your in a pickle do some jigging 😅
You are telling me....... I was losing the will to live by the end of it.
@@JimmyTheMower 🤣😂
Hi
Liked your video.
What was the reason you have changed your dumper?
Thanks.
The trailer was crashing in to the back of the truck.
No brakes 😯
Good video. Is it the vertical or the horizontal bolt for the head that goes through the damper?
Both go through the head, that's why it is so hard to line up.....
I was losing the will to live by the end of the video 🤣🤣🤣
@@JimmyTheMower hi Jimmy, sorry my question was do either of the bolts go through the top of the damper?
@@Imtheman1977 sorry, I think they are both the same size and length, and both are threaded on this particular model so either one would do.
When you buy the kit, it also comes with new nuts to go on the bolts.
My Ifor when reversing locks on the brakes on the trailer and I can’t move, could a knackered damper be the cause
Yeah it could.
My advice would be to jack the trailer up and spin the wheels backward and forwards to make sure they spin freely first.
All the best,
Jimmy
damper wont cause thisproblem, its probably caused by brake lining coming off shoe.
What is called the pipe on the middle that is connected to breaks?
That's the push rod 👍
Anyone know the torque specs for the bolts and nuts? I have tried to find them on Google to no avail.
I'm out at work at the moment so haven't got the information. However I made another video about changing to belows gaiter and I put the torque specs in there 👍
@@JimmyTheMower cheers, i'll check it out.
@@MrZimmaframe 👍
unqualified chap working on the brakes on a 3.5ton potential killing machine wow!!!
The brakes have to work on this trailer. It's the only thing that stops my land rover defender 👍
Most UNQUALIFIED video ive ever watched tbh hahaha. #CLUELESS
Thanks, you aren't wrong.
It needed doing and I had to get it done so i could get back to work. I got there in the end.
Sorry mate, I found you a bit unsure of what you were doing, so i had no confidence with you,,, and when it got to the real hard bit, The compressing of the damper into position, you missed out !!!
So I still don't know the best way to do that.... so no thanks...
Best of luck with it.
I tried my best, first time I had changed one on this trailer so things weren't straightforward 👍
Unqualified chap working on a 3.5 ton potential killing machine wow!!!!
You don’t need to be qualified to fit a new damper any more than you do to put air in the tyres.
😂 I trust myself more than most people who have worked on my car or trailers in the past.
Who trains the trainer who trains the trainer that trained the monkey.
If your mechanical the you don't need training for every bit of crap
Grow a pair.
Not good if I’m honest. A bit hit and miss, maybe research the job before putting out a video.
I've changed one before but a long time ago.
It's good to show the trials and tribulations and that it's not just an easy straight forward job every time.
