Awesome video
FYI: Not necessary to shield our eyes on a video. The whitest light we see is a blank white screen – no injury to our eyes.
The smoke being emitted is what I like to call healing smoke or shop incense.
Didn't Congress pass a bill ending daylight savings?
Like you I always use anti_seize on parts for the "the next guy"….wish others would do it for me once.
My first time using never seize last year and I got it friggin everywhere and I have no idea how it happened
YouTube is at it again. I watch this video before and hit the 👍 button. This video popped up again without the 👍 button count.
Put the click on MAXIMUM! 2.5" x 3/4" rectangular tubing x 5 foot long … with a 36mm socket welded on one end: that's what I used to remove or torque the flywheel gland nut(factory specification was 235ft/lb)on my VW BUG. And the axle nut(218ft/lb.), which fastened the rear brake drum. Later on I modified a 3" long 3/4" drive extension to fit into the 36mm socket and protrude through the other side of the rectangular tube. It was welded in place. So I had a 5 foot long "wrench" that fit any 3/4" drive socket. It cost about $25 to make (1989). It can bust any nut!
Im wondering, is P a person who is doing an internship at your shop? Whatever you caught him doing seems like something an intern or a new guy would do
I’d like to put a wheel lug nut on to hold the rotor stationary.. makes installing the caliper much easier!!
Upwind.
When cleaning up hardscale corrosion like that, I use a wire wheel or toilet bowl cleaner and a wire brush.
Though it looked like your chisel worked well.
Congratulations on 300 k subs.
Just stay away from rule 34 at all costs!
Try coca cola next time
I had exactly the same problem when trying to change the bearings in my XK8. I have a 20 ton press but couldn't get enough heat because I don't have acetylene so I took the arm to the local Jag dealers and asked them to use plenty of heat and their 50 ton press. When I went back the next day they Manager called me into the workshop and the arm was still in the press with the bearing still in. I asked whether they had got it red hot but he said not as they didn't want to risk damaging the arm as they were no longer available. I pointed out that that car was unusable as it was and if the arm was damaged by the heat/pressure them so be it. That's a bridge I would have to cross if it happened. They then got it to red heat whilst I waited and it came free with a massive bang but was fine otherwise.
By the way, I have used anti-seize on every stud, bolt and nut including the threaded part on every car, bike and truck for the last 55 years and have never regretted it for one second …. in fact, quite the opposite when I come to work on the same part a few years later.
This is what I call a back yard fix a real cowboy
Man, you throw caution to the wind when you use a torch!
There goes that bearing
Great job
Someone help
Me out. When you heat steel and let it cool, is it then smaller than it was before you heated it? Wouldn't it just shrink back to the same size?
Blowtorch and pneumatic hammer, the two most used tools of Eric O at South Main.🤪
Impact guns destroy Jaguar wheel nuts as Jag uses a stupid cover over the nuts. Why Who knows? But the result of the impact gun is the cover comes loose and fall off making the nut a different size and much harder to remove.
Love the 'protective rubber gloves' whilst using a torch … ! 🤣
The torch you are using, is for cutting 10-30 mm steel plates, use a velding head to the the gas mix.
Anyone recognize the song in the background?
Your assumption is accurate I thought the video was awesome.
In the electronics world, white thermal grease, affectionately called “Camel S**t”, does the same as you described happens with never seize. As soon as you open the jar or tube it seems to get on everything. You tell me. How does this stuff get on the back of your elbow, inside your ear, or behind your knee inside your pants!!!!!?
Corrosion in NY (yawn)
:-))) If you want to freak out the basement "scientists" just quench the whole thing in water after it's good and hot! `In lawn mower repair, rule #1 is do not use a hammer on the main shaft to remove the flywheel by inertia. Even though it's in ever manual (When paper manuals existed)
time to break out big nasty great videos ray
Was that a snow shovel?, in Florida?!
I would have tried a press or a puller before using a torch.
Hey Where in Florida are you?
Great video Ray. Keep them coming. From all your Aussie fans
You cooked the bearing, it won't last very long.
First off, now you have a slight taste of what I get to deal with daily. Secondly why was that torch already set for oxy/acetylene mixture when you lit it? …Thats super unsafe. Lastly, gotta be careful using heat around euro (and some domestic) alloy knuckles, they tend to be alloyed with magnesium, and can result in a very hot uncontrollable fire that is hard to put out
Dude, seriously, I am an ICU nurse! Wear a respirator!!!
Welcome to Daylight Savings Time again…..
A rosebud would work a lot better for that, puts out way more heat and has more flow so you can run more on your gauges. And I would highly recommend not using a Bic lighter to light your torch! Strikers are about the same cost as a lighter anymore and a hell of a lot safer trust me oxyacetylene Burns hurt like hell. I am a structural welder by trade and you can put alot of heat quickly with a good rosebud tip, enough to camber structural steel and bridge girters
which cars are worse to work on? Jaguars, or range rovers?
I know a service department manager for a dealership that sells range rovers. I asked him how good are they. He laughed and said the mechanics love them. they are job security for the service department. Practically every one of the new ones sold end up being brought in on a flatbed at least once in the first year.. and I don’t know anyone that has ever owned a Jaguar.
I almost bought one years ago. A friend of mine that ownd a car dealership took one on trade ..it was a Jaguar sedan. He called me and asked me if I wanted to buy it very cheap..He said it’s gorgeous, red leather interior, not a mark on it, we just can’t get the idle to come down below 4000 RPM..
I told him, I’ll pass, I’m not that stupid yet
Your oxyacetylene torch isn’t adjusted correctly. SMOKE WRENCH!
my error sorry
might help to remove the snap ring
The torch has never failed me?
Did you fix the van after the key west trip? love the bush guy
It took a lot of heat but it works every time. I not crazy about mixing metals like the car factory do because of this reason it’s a pain in the neck to take apart.
There seems to be some confusion in this one so. I will elaborate. The steering knuckle was bent causing a wheel alignment issue. We got a used one bc a new one doesn’t exist. The new used part had a very rusted bearing so I decided to reuse the original bearing. However the junkyard bearing on the replacement knuckle was corroded in solid, so it got torched and hammered out. I don’t use a torch on aluminum Jaguar parts so the steel hub bearing got the heat. I replaced the steering knuckle and installed the original non-torched wheel bearing. The alignment spec came in perfect at – 0.3* BTW
