Freightliner | Press Out/In Spring Eye Bushings 

Just found this channel and brings back memories 👍 we once had to change out a worn out spherical bearing on a radius arm. Got it in the power press and I was watching the dial heading round to 100 tons with creaks and groans , I remember saying, this is getting sketchy , when no one answered I turned around and my mates had retreated to the other side of the workshop ! Comments like.. don't worry we've got EMS on speed dial and can I have your record collection ! Spring to mind 🤣 hit the side with a 10 pound hammer and it popped then slid out beautifully. I do miss the big boys toys.

That press sure makes it look easy!

Some of the most important skills the country needs

Buen video amigo saludos desde ,Oaxaca.México.

Great video. How in the hell did you just roll the tires forward to get the bolt holes to line back up

Solo buena esa erramienta

can you use the same tool for the steer axle bushings?

is there an alignment the bushings go back in? or did you just eyeball the camber of the bushing?

I know its not recommended to just replace 1 bushings but I only want to replace the bad one. Do you think it will hurt the alignment?

Good job simple and easy

i need to change all the bushings on my truck, where is your shop located

Do you need to do alignment on the truck after you change all 4

What is the name of that tool you're using

Can you post the part number of the tool that you are using to remove the bushings?

Is that a push master welded on a plate with two U-bolt rods?

Awesome vid. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS TOOL!!

what tool are you using ?

Can i use a big size socket to take them bushings out. If i don't have the machine. Could i messed them up that way.

Did you make that fixture?

Donde pusiste el stand en qué parte del camión ?yo trabajo en California saludos

Where can I get that press setup?? I’ve been having to take the spring assembly out of the truck completely and walk it over to a stationary press.

Hi where are you located I need to replace bushings on leafe springs for freightliner cascadia 2018

Por que tanto sal nestes caminhão? Que tipo de trabalho eles estão fazendo?

Where can I buy that tool from

I enjoy your videos. I like your jig to remove and install your bushings. I was curious what type of air cylinder you use on your jig? I really want to make one. Thanks again.

So is this unit the OTC 4244

When you were lowering the frame I saw you moving the drive axle to line up with the bushings, how were you doing this?

Hola qué tal me pareció muy bueno tu video me dedico a las muelles y suspensiones en Mexico me interesaría saber donde puedo conseguir el gato hidráulico que utilizaste, Gracias espero tu respuesta

Хорошая работа При наличии такого инструмента можно творить вещи ,а так же заработать много денег

Looks like the new bushing is flapped is that ok??

Chicago-Pneimatic 734H....??? I wish I could get mine to hit as hard as yours.

Do you use grease or anti seize on the new bushings shell when pressing it in?

What’s the pressed called so I can get one

Mu bueno

WHAT PART NUMBER OF OTC TOOL ARE YOU USING TO DO THOSE DOUBLE WRAPPED SPRING BUSHINGS THOSE PLATES ARE WIDER THAN THE OTC 4244

it looks like he's putting in the bushings backwards

Where's the shop located?

Great video! Do you lift it up with the forklift or with the air bags? I use a 22 ton bottle jack in-between the spring and chasis. Lift it for the clearance, torch out the metal casing and hammer it in with the same size diameter steel tube.

You fitted the bolts . Arround the other way. ..

Hey Guys , I'm sorry to ask but I just bought one on Amazon, OTC 4245, and I'm having problems because the width between the bolt is 5 inches and don't fit so easy like your when I have to leaf like this video, can you tell me the width in your between the bolts please.

What condition existed that lead you to replace the bushings?

You should frame that CP air gun when it reaches retirement.. With a brass plate that reads "They asked if I wanted some penetrating oil, and I told them.. Just show me the job man"

How did you get your press to go around the “eye “ of the ear spring ?? We have the otc one I think 4255?? It fits over the eye of a leaf spring on the 2017 and older ones but the second we try the new cascadias it won’t slip over the front of the spring. Is it a different press??

what do you use as an adapter .. is my question

What’s the name of the tool your using ?

How much would u charge to replace all 4 bushing? 🤔

You put them in backwards

Esta poniendo el buje mal La rondana grande va por el lado de adentro

They backwards

когда инструмент есть то интересно работать а не как у нас пока приготовишь всё брусьев натоскаешь чтоб под машину класть чтоб она не упала на тебя потом трубы по десять метров 10 человек в помощь а гайки прикипевшие пока все открутишь и думаешь да нахер это надо первый и последний раз этим занимаюсь и потом опять всё снова недавно у нас в городе видел как мужики балансир на камазе меняли под открытым небом неделю делали и как то они без энтузиазма работали с кислыми минами наверно болты плохо откручивались

American scrap, drum brakes, springs. Sorry, maybe it's a vintage truck?
