Thanks mate! Kind of the reason i made it, some of this info i found hard to find when i was learning myself hopefully this video can help some people 😊
At this point in time, most of us watching are probably guys or girls who’ve grown up and are done with clickbait RU-vid, and clickbait automotive channels also. To see a down to earth bloke make an informative yet entertaining video with a genuine personality will always have my attention. You, Timmy, Macca. Providing what the people want.
I spend my days covered in sawdust and bashing nails and will probably never rebuild my own diff but this has to be one of the best explanations of how to rebuild a diff I’ve ever seen. Good job mate keep them coming 👍😎
I think your onto something with these style of videos mate, keep it up bloody awesome to watch these build videos, it’s unreal how good you explain everything for such laid back videos 😂😂 becoming my favourite channel pretty quickly
Great video, only thing I wanted to add is when you putting the flange on the pinion, never strike it with a hammer, as you will dig the edge of the rollers in the bearing into the race and cause micro marks, sometimes small dents.. which then transfer to rollers and causes a pattern around bearing and noise. You might get away with it but if you inspect races you’ll see what I mean.. and you can feel it while turning by hand. Massive respect for showing a whole video of doing this process 👌🏻
Hey mate appreciate your comment and now that you have pointed it out i agree, can see how it would do exactly that Probably wont be building any more diffs for a while but i’ll be setting up on the press next time!
Thanks mate! Its refreshing to read comments like this i was honestly nervous to post this video because of people that may do things differently to me or disagree but just wanted to explain it how i would have liked it explained to me!
Thanks Pooly, I have a couple of lockers in the shed waiting to go in the cruiser, your video has just given me the inspiration, to have a crack myself and save the money, for new suspension. Looking forward to more of your DIY sessons 👍
I just rebuilt the rear of my 105 with an elocker and solid spacer bearing kit from terrain tamer so the process is fresh with me. I watched every video I could find online and went into a few local shops to me which gave me the best pointers that the videos didn’t. Your video made the process way more simple than what it actually is. I’m surprised you set all the pinion with seals etc. without knowing the correct pinion depth. did you not film that part? many people will say to not use shims with the solid spacer and im sure many would argue thats fine however given the title of the video I thought maybe you’d shim the outer pinion bearing closer to the spacer so you didn’t need the shim because that could only be a stronger way to do it. What stops the carrier bearing rotating on the locker? Plenty of guys would say to knurl that surface. Preloading those carrier bearing adjuster caps with screwdrivers is a first. Anyone who thinks this video is detailed should keep watching, lots of important info left out. Nevertheless, like watching your vids, keep em coming
Hey mate thanks for your comment and i agree with all of it quite a few things i left out of the video it wasn’t meant to be a tutorial as stated im not an diff specialist but i just wanted to share my experience and explain in a way that i would have liked it explained to me as for pinion depth i had just built two other diffs both re-using the depth washer from the existing pinions and the depth was correct so i took a gamble with this one and installed the seal and it was all correct as expected. for the solid spacer shim i didn’t need it anyway just showed using it for the purpose of the video, i undone everything in the video and pulled it back out but id happily put it where i did put it if needed, it can’t be installed elsewhere to shim the bearing preload it has to go there and i can’t see it affecting strength once all done up tight eliminating the crush factor of the crush tube is the main thing for me As for carrier bearings, brand new locker brand new bearing i had to use a press to install it the bearing fit was tight i can see why you would knurl it though i guess thats the difference between a diff specialist and me!
Another great video mate - absolutely killing it bruzzy!! Loving the technical knowledge, mixed with real experience and workmanship - keep it coming mate.
Thanks pooly this video is giving me the confidence to be able to get the diffs out on my and fix them when the need arises so thanks for that. Video will be getting saved
Uncle Pooly's Big Dummy's guide to build different. Well done mate you dun good! Having been a heavy plant fitter, you have to use the tools and tackle that's available at the time.
Great informative vid mate 👌🏼 and that’s definitely a bolt or part of it that decided to say hi to the ring and pinon gear.. I work in the Motorsport Gearbox industry and see loose bolts ect occasionally too.. Keep up the great content 😊👍🏼
your doing a superb job pooly will be a great combination your hard work is coming together has the best of both worlds the barra my favorite engine and well its a Toyota my favored brand ....of 4WD
Machinist here that builds diffs regularly, good job got most of the main things correct I would suggest investing in a copper hammer and getting a solid spacer machined once the crush spacer or shimmed spacer is used to set correct pre load 👍
Uncle pooly this has to be the best diff video i have ever watched on youtube, also you if we had a opinion on why the old diff exploded. i’m a 3rd diesel mechanic down in dandy and we had a newish freightliner come in with 60,000 k’s on the clock, boys down at the frieghtliner factory left the crown wheel bolts loose exactly like that one, 2 came out and ran through everything exactly like that and the rest either snapped or bent. also found that the preload was out on the pinion and they bent the shims somehow. sorry for the word vomit, keep up the great vids please mate 🤙
Good point, you are right definitely an important step! especially if re - using old parts I actually forgot to hit record on the whole part of installing the ring gear so my bad 😂 rookie youtube error
Wicked video, good that you didn’t use the thin shim too. In my experience those thin solid spacer shims will fret and end up wearing away to nothing giving you a loose preload 👌
Great vid uncle. The second I seen the bolt missing I knew that’s what had caused the damage. Just hope Mac found the bolt and removed it from the housing before he installed the new centre you built. Any way your content is great👍
There was a lot of broken metal in the housing and im sure he cleaned it out! Definitely unfortunate sadly sounds like a common problem hope my loctite holds up! 😂
yet another Ripper vid Pooly, love the level of detail that you went into with this video mate super helpful and informative would love to see more content like this mate keep up the wicked videos 🤙
When I was building diffs for a living I would heat the crown wheel up then install it to the carrier and torque it up. Makes a world of difference and ensures a proper tension as normally you have to flog the crown wheel onto the Carrier with a rubber mallet
Hey mate awesome work made it easy to understand good bants! If you can you should follow dangar marine, he's got the instruction videos finessed. Then put links into your transcript to buy the components, also Skid factory has a good channel. If you had it as a one stop shop for yarns, instruction, and links to parts and part numbers I'm sure people would buy from a drop ship store, most of the lads I work with in fifo would plan a project and buy everything to do it themselves on break. I do it with hoocho who does food hydroponics. You've got the perfect set up and audience from gnarly trips with the boys to workshop builds, sharing your channel with my mates. Good stuff man keep it up !!
Thank you for showing us how to build a diff.I’m mechanical minded and can do minor things on cars but but when it comes to building a diff I would have to take it to a friend of mine who is a diff mechanic.I could take it out by removing the axles and hubs and swivel hubs and do that side of things but not build a diff
Your a Poole of knowledge mate! 🤪 Love the content I've been thinking of getting a n80 but really want one of those 2.8 79's cause love solid front axel.
