Up here in Seattle when we're working on our car out in the driveway, and it stops raining, we go do something outdoors.
REEeeee! You never lubricate a wheel stud or other torqued fastener. You change the torque resistance and get the wrong tightness. If you look up torque value in an engineering catalog it will give you different values for dry or lubed.
The lug nuts will either work loose or you'll over tighten them.
I’m sure you know that grease on studs allow over torque
I’m disheartened to see you not Nick the rust off stuff and shoot it with some rustoleum
correct me if im wrong.
I thought you were surpose to spin the hib while tightening the castlenut to avoid the hub wopling with the tire on when you are driving.
or am i mistaken something???
Now you can go water skiing !?
Hmm reminds me off "de ondergang of b-compagnie" dutch army instructiin movie about bad maintenace and service. mandetory in Dutch army in 1950- 1970 US spoken with dutch voice overs. also about see water and bearing.
don't expect a warranty on those side cutters.
They are split pins or split cotters and they do not need to be bent right around. The idea is that you raise one leg about 30-45 degrees, it only needs to stop the pin coming out of the hole.
Rain man doesn’t like the rain! 😝
Nice job.
Looked like a typical Wisconsin level of rust…. There was no ocean, but there was a highway department, with salt trucks….
Release the schmoo!
Peter is great. Just educate him to use other words then curse. Love you pee ter
It's only Florida, the rain will pass!
When I see folks driving vehicles through the surf at the beach, I shake my head.
It doesn't look like 2 days spot spraying penetrating oil got to the thread
Back boat into shop duh
No reason to smear globs of grease into the inside of the hub. The guy before you did that and you saw that the only thing that accomplished was to give you a sloppy job to do scooping it out. BTW, putting grease on fastener threads on wheels, calipers etc is pointless as the heat generated by braking friction etc. will eventually melt the grease out of wherever you put it. It also screws up the amount of torque needed to properly fasten the lugs!
Is that the NAPA Hybrid Jack?
You should have used your pry bar to take off the gloves so you wouldn't get the grease on you. If all else fails resort to the Brake Clean
This brake assembly is exactly like regular car suspension in New Yawk where Eric O has to remove on Subaru's every day. I can just understand a Communist government wiping out people's investment in 5 years or less. My car in Washington State like new after 9 years would be a rusted hunk of junk in Communist country.
I've never seen a set of pads that require tabs hammering like that…..are they common in the USA?
It almost looks like it'd restrict function to hammer them over like that not to mention the force required appears to be crazy?
Ah Florida hey, that explains a lot ……😂
It was nice to see the differences between a car disc brake job from a trailer disc brake job!.
trailer axle wheel bearings grease jobs suck and those brake pads look like the old 70/80s model chevy rear wheel drive cars/trucks
Nice job
Fighting with the rotors Ray? Were the threads that bad you didn’t slap 2 lug nuts on?
All the trailers I’ve done are electric drum brakes for RVs The biggest problem is people using the zircs and overfilling. You pack the bearings and lightly coat everything else for anti corrosion. Too much grease reduces the life of the grease and causes cavitation. Cavitation is the grease getting so hot it vaporizes explosively and causes pitting according to the guy from Dexter axle at the training class. Since boat trailers go into the water I don’t know if the idea is more grease to keep the water out outweighs the cavitation. Before doing rv bearings growing up the farm trailers never got repacked just pumped full of grease but rarely highway speeds and not very far. I imagine most boat trailers are more like the rv ones as far as speed of operation.
If anyone knows if boat hubs are supposed to be lightly coated or filled I’d like to know. And I mean know what the manufacturers say not this is the way you have always done.
And as always. Have a great day.
And if you have a non marine trailer you’re gonna go highway speeds with Don’t overpack the hubs. A hub is not a bushing to pump grease into until it flows out
Rainman Ray doesn't like the rain… =/
Did you change the races out
Did someone count how many times lube was said?
that trailer needs bearing buddies. Have them on all my trailers. Makes it so much easier to grease them up
And now your mixing greases…..reeeeee
Not replacing the bearing races? That's like taking a shower and putting dirty underwear back on
I'm not gonna lie Ray I was reading a text and the video was playing I thought the sound of the jack going up was a chicken on ur video
your not screwing around pace is my everyday pace. i flatrate
jack sounds like an old car alarm 😂😂😂
I watched an old head do this, he grabbed a pair of angry pliers and bent those tabs before putting it on.
He was a pretty big dude though. It was a boat trailer as well.
I give the new guy's conversation skills 6 bananas out of 10 lifesavers.
I've not got a trailer, but I learned a lot, so thanks !
does the jack come with a built-in squeak or is it an extra😁
lol…all fun and games till you miss the grease can with the bearing and now the bearing is junk as it hits the asphalt..haha
I like how patient you are explaining things to the younger guy. Seems like he looks at you like a bit of a mentor. We need more young guys in the trades and learning useful jobs like this. Love to see it man.
Can't you just reuse the cotter pin? (just kidding)
That jus looks like any car from the Northeast
Draisaitl is better than McDavid.
I'm surprised those cellibers aren't shot, salt water and metal is a bad mix !
Rain: you should have had your protégé standing over you with an umbrella! 😆😆
I'm not happy with you bleeding brake fluid on the ground. Otherwise I really enjoy your videos.
