If only i could upload pictures god knows how many minis I've rebuilt love them i could draw every part on paper top man this fella is a top man

@davidthorpe2533 3 года назад

Did mine 3yrs ago. I live in France but had the arms rebushed by Minimine in England when visiting family back home. Collected the next day saved me the time & buying of tools !!! Good video, take care Dave. Dave's 1987 Mini rebuild project ( F/book)

@meeuwbart 2 года назад

thanks for the fine guide of installing the brakeshoes. it was a great help for my own mini

@tobyhartley2829 3 года назад

Nicely done! I used a puller kit from eBay for the needle bearing and the drift with the reaming kit made short work of the bush. Insertion of the new parts was done with a 10mm threaded rod and the nice thick washers from the tired old parts.

Great video and awesome sense of humour (20:25 - thats what she said). Love all your DIY Mini videos. I've got a 1969 Mini K, and while I have the official Leyland Workshop manual - there's alot of assumed knowledge in the manual.. Cheers from Newcastle Australia

@WilliamMurfitt 3 года назад

Great video Cole, really indepth and clear instruction. Thank you also for the shout out.

@classicminiworkshop 3 года назад

Thanks for the shout out. The drift you have should remove both the old bush and needle roller bearing without the need for a puller. Love the finish on the arms

@classicminidiy 3 года назад

I couldn't quite figure out punching them both out. Do you punch one into the radius arm first and then dig it out?

@eduardodedios8213 3 года назад

@@classicminidiy I would guess that you could probably punch both out with punch that’s long enough, you just made it the proper way, great work as always

@classicminiworkshop 3 года назад

@@classicminidiy You use the drift in the bush end to push the bush through the middle and that then pushes out the grease tube and the roller bearing all in one pass

@ericgeber6145 3 года назад

@Alan-wu3ry 2 года назад

Wouldn't it be better to ream the bronze bushing without the needle bearing in place, so no cuttings get inside it?

@MadeInGreatBritain 4 месяца назад

It would, but the roller bearing is the perfect support and it’s in its final place. I do it up the other way instead so gravity sorts the issue

@herenow2895 15 дней назад

@@MadeInGreatBritain - I was thinking that and also putting some grease on the reamer to help catch the shavings.

I`m just about rebuilding my radius arms for my 75 Inno 1300. Watching your video helped me finishing that job nicely - thank you for sharing! What I´m left with is the radial play that I found on both radius arms - that play is about 0,2mm, which I think is too much... From the theorie the tolerances of radius arm + shaft + xxx sum up and you need to "adjust" the installation somehow. My idea is to install the roller bearing NOT fully home, but stand off a couple of x/10mm and press that bearing home with the actual used shaft. This results in Zero axial play. Question to you: how do you set your axial play?? Thank you for a breif response.

@naturalbornminidriver2869 3 года назад

little advice: the plastic tubes tend to burst if you overdo first (all) lubrication! that’s real fun - you did the job, and ruin it at the last step. priceless 😂

@paulsmith-me1ls 3 года назад

@DG-ot9dy Год назад

Is it ok to grease the bearings after fitting the radius arm on the car? I put a thin film of grease on the shaft before sliding it into the arm and greased it with a grease gun afterwards. Must be ok, what do you think?

@robpriddy2372 2 года назад

Help. I see your tools listed in the description but I can’t find a ‘drive’ like you used. I search and search and only get results about One Drive, hard drive testing, driver sets, etc. so, where did you get yours?

@thea5539 3 года назад

Great video! Well done. Questions: there is a thick washer and thin washer for the radius arm. Which side takes thick washer?

@edad1591 Год назад

Great video thank you for sharing the knowledge! Do you grease up the new rods and plastic housing or just fit them all dry?

@classicminidiy Год назад

I usually add a little bit of grease as they go in but then apply the primary amount of grease when they are installed on the subframe with a grease gun.

@robertnehrbass7745 3 года назад

Great video Cole,one ? I have a mk1 998 cooper with hydro supp.How much more experince do i need to do this by my self.

@classicminidiy 3 года назад

I have not done this on a Hydro setup before but to my knowledge the pivot shaft is largely the same concept and process. I believe the hydro arms have the "two bushes" instead of a bushing and a needle roller. You should be able to use this same guide to accomplish the job.

@antesokota4814 3 года назад

Nice video. Only one question. What kind of rubber seal you use after all. Parts from minispare are very bad. After a few years they crack although the car drives a little.

@classicminidiy 3 года назад

The seals I use are sold by Seven Mini Parts but I believe they are still wholesale from Minispares. I don't know anyone else who produces them. :-(

@perrycorn2789 2 года назад

You need to buy a large tap handle for the reamer

When your reeming does this not leave bits of bronze at the roller bearing end ? Is there something you can do to prevent this like doing it the other way up ??

@mrg4722 3 года назад

Thanks, do you think the bush end cound be machined to take a second roller bearing as an upgrade?

@classicminidiy 3 года назад

You know I am not sure. I think the intention of the bronze bushing is to help keep the grease inside the tube as well. I am sure someone out there has tried it out though!

@socalcaiman 2 года назад

What was the reason for rebuilding...excessive play, age, noise or?

@classicminidiy 2 года назад

Usually they begin to squeak as the inner tube no longer retains grease. Its sort of a creak/squeak. Its a good idea if you know they are very old too though.

@@terrencedowling9638 It's a special tool not really possible to use an off the shelf reamer as they have no alignment support

@martinfidel7086 2 года назад

Both the bush and the gearing need to be below the surface not flush and reaming the bush with swarf going straight in to the bearing isn't a good idea that won't do it any good at all :(
