How to struggle removing gearbox on a merc ATEGO 

Big shout out to Mike of Northside truck and van in Hull ….legend 🙌🏼

Chris you're an absolute legend, we all see a bit of you in us all. I'm binge watching in an airport lounge in tears of laughter. Keep on keeping on mush x

Hi Chris just want to say thank you, when i get home and iv have a real shit day at work, i sit down and flick on one of your videos and i realise my day aint so hard afterall 😅

Only just found you on youtube, binge watched for a few days now. Flipping brilliant content. Yes you are. 😂

Hello my mate ... Two shouts out to Holly ....unlike many she had a go and wanted to learn And Mike at Northside trucks. Good old fashioned telephone chat without some oink trying to stop a third party from completing a repair ! I can imagine the hard days that tarmac tipper goes through ....work horses them! A great way to start my Saturday 🙏🙏🙏....have a lovely weekend Mr Allen and anyone who reads this I wish you a productive and happy weekend too ....👍🏻 Be careful out there people ... Gary 🙏

I'll say it again and again you never fail to make me smile on every upload chris the struggle is real

Being a plumber, I do understand the dealer not wanting to tell you how to do a job, I'm forever being asked how to do things, I've been to college and done my time and people expect free lessons. I don't mind helping friends etc but it's hard to tell a genuine person and someone just taking the piss, not that you were 🤣😂

Nowt better than watching the struggler getting job done old school fitter ❤ loving it chris brilliant

I've started 24 volt trucks with my 12 volt NOCO booster pack in the past.

Chris with the amount of phone falling down time .. maybe you should do a story book😂 or maybe one of us lot should make you a magnet phone holder for that hands free option when working under on top or to the side of something 😅

Great video Chris. Keep us posted on that van no start please. Good luck Getting that socket. Cheers Chris🇨🇦😃

Your quality of recording is fucking brilliant if u dint wanna see the work your doing 😆 🤣 😂 😹 keep on with the struggle fella

Cheers Chris. Yeah Nappa took over a good firm near us, jacked up the prices and the service sunk. What can you say about Dealers that hasn’t been said before?. Cracking good show Chris.

Good work as always mate, I've just been pulling pistons and liners out a merc actros at kens jobs 👍👍

Love your video's always puts a smile on my face as you remind me the stragglers 6o years in the motor trade yesssss i have

Hi Chris like the video's. I'm a struggler myself in Ireland as for the horse van it won't start if the clutch pedal isn't down. If it still doesn't start it's the starter and it will take half hour to change.

Started watching ur videos after seeing you on D&j projects videos. You are the most down to earth and honest person ive seen on here for years. Struggle on Chris you are amazing keep up your videos mate love em

Well Chris your definitely living up to your name with those jobs 😯

The Crevice of Doom!!🤣🤣🤣 I run a fleet of those things imagine how many Crevices I'm staring into every day I was going to shout you and see if you wanted to come down and take a look at one of them for me Chris, I guess I know the answer now though😪

Good upload Chris glad you got some advice from Mercedes regarding the Top don mine has been terrible just about useless next time they get in touch ask them too contact me I have contacted them multiple times and had no luck , on the plus side I don’t recommend them to anyone must have cost them a hundred sales

Old skool metabo are the best...take it from me

I love them little emoji's whenever the phone falls - class

There seems to be a theme starting here Chris with leg injuries, you need to get some strugglers shin guards in your merch shop fella .

Building myself up to change the gearbox on my lads Land Rover 90 so he can drive it down to Greece.. the older I get the more I just really can’t be f##ked to do it! Watching you really makes me not want to go out and start it 😂

Fair play to the guy who gave you the info on those gearshift pipes. I've been told before that they're a bastard to get right without the proper bleed kit.

Thanks for the video Chris,you have been a great laugh 😹

Have you ever thought of using a bit of de - greaser and a little pressure washing before you jump into all the mud and muck around that gear box? 😂 only a thought Chris 🤷‍♂️😉

Morning chris my ducato motorhome has 5 fuse boxes all at different locations and if you fold the mirrors in it blows the fuses fixed it simply by not folding the mirrors 😂😂

@8:22 chris that's oldest trick to scare someone, this video was brilliant you had me in fits of laughter.. Nice one..

You could have turned that ring gear 180 degrees it would work fine it stops in same spot every time.great videos Chris 👍

Well done Mike, jolly good show.

Wizz popper moment you definitely reminded me of way gargemel acts on the smurfs 😂 keep up the goood work 👍🏻

Chris You need a Tippper for all your tools ....

Another great video has always chris and leahdag and family 👍

Although I don’t think Atego has it Be careful changing the slave Cylinder, as the newer Mercs have an O ring where it fits against the gearbox casing that if missed causes it to loose air so you need to pull the box out again.

Fair play to the 2 irish lads from skibbereen on winning gold in the Olympic games

17mm/19mm is DIN (Deutsche Institut Normung), 16mm/18mm is JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) (I think). Threads same, just different heads. Odd as Merc is German, so I thought it’d be DIN. I’ve gone back to air tools, more reliable in my opinion, no batteries to break, can get them wet, more power, more tools to chose from, can repair/rebuild them, just need a decent hose and QR couplings. Struggle on Chris! Edit 16/18 mm is ISO, which supersedes DIN.

I have all Milwaukee impacts and Milwaukee have good power but I can’t rave about their reliability unfortunately.

Alright Chris hope you having a good weekend 🍺🍺🍺👀👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Garry, Hi Paul. Shame about the sell out, been using Allwoods for 30 years since I was messing about with bikes at 13/14.

There's always one bolt Chris. I hate that when you fone main dealer. They wont let you speak to a mechanic. Pain in the ass 😂😂😂. But on the the other hand some of them are great. Them bobcats are brilliant. 😊 I hate them multi splines😂😂.Bloody good show Chris 🤙👍

So you had to gallop off and get new fuses for the horsebox 😂😂😂😂😂

Merc dealers in scotland come out with the same shit ,we are not allowed to give out info

Alright Chris great video hope it’s been warm enough for you. Way too warm for me 🥵😰👏👏🤞🙏

Good work Chris Tomorrow is another day 😂😂

Trouble is little companies who been going for many years can't complete with big companies you a good bloke helping Holly out was funny you winding her up 😂🤣 I wouldn't want to do a clutch on that a van is bad enough you like a challenge to struggle with chris bet you will be haveing a few fosters after that day mate 😂🤠🍻

Awesome video thanks Chris very much appreciated top job 🇬🇧🔧🛠️🇬🇧🔧🛠️🚜🚜🚜🚜🚛🚛🚛

It would be a good idea to clean that area from the pipe flange before dismantling it, all that shit and gearboxes don’t mix well 😮😮😮

Good morning Mr struggler! 🎉

Keep on struggling 💪👊🤘👍🤙👌

Sound like a Bond Villain when doing your German accent 😂

Great video Chris 👍👏🇨🇦💕

Always replaced the flywheel when replacing the clutch no matter what it was like

Question, as you now have 2 boost boxes, can you put 1 on each truck battery, they must be 12v each to make 24v. This is a question as I have no idea, electrickery is black magic. Love your vids

Good one bud Good job done. 🍺🍺😂🤣👍👍🍺🍺

Are Mercs made in France now Chris! 😹😹 Based on your accent 🇫🇷 😹😹

From the fuse shop 😂😂😂😂

You gotta laugh mate just like the struggler. You might with a chance mate. Can’t beat a trier mate 😊

Mr struggler are you attending convoy in the park mate be good to see you again

NAPA Never Any Parts Available

Struggler you have to say "Nappa not a sponsor"

Oh holly

My preference is electrical tape for the self repair struggle 😂

Morning Chris 👍👌🇮🇲

Northside sponsor your mate Ryan Smith.

Dealers are 💩 Chris yeah they are 😂😂😂😂

Don't think that exhaust flex clamp is doing much 😂

Cuz thay carnt charge ya lol👍

Connecting your battery booster the wrong way round is never good.. you can spike the ECU..

Chris, back to basics on the horsebox, was it an auto or manual. Maybe not in Park or pressing brake or clutch for manual

Hi Chris if you would be so kind to let me know what is up with the horse box after Alex has had a look I've got a Peugeot tipper that is the same I've had it on a computer but it would tell us anything all the best Ross

Try cleaning down the gearbox before you take it out !!!!!!!!!!!

Your going to give he4 a heartache

My local autobits store was taken over and it's now gone to sh1t most of the good workers left as well the new workers haven't a clue keep the family stores

'ey up Chris 👍👍👍

Man that engine could have done with a pressure wash, don’t want any of that shit getting into your gearbox or hydraulic lines.

Chris listen to what I told him 😂😂

Sadly days are gone of dealers helping you out over the phone. Unless its some1 you know. I won't even bother ringing now.

Bloody good show how do pal

My first lorry was a 55 reg merc Axor , bloody gear box on that was the same bloody night mare,failed on the day drivers watch , nothing to do with me 😆 and it was 6 months old , driver abuse they said 😂😂😂.

Glad you not stood i dog crap 😅😅😅🛠️⚓️🤠JB

Pretty sure those mercs lose one of the gear ranges when the clutch is changed, I think it's the low one. Need to get it programmed back in. The struggle is pre programmed into this one😒

Woooooowooooooooooo❤❤

Chris can you sort me out a price and get the frond window curtain pelmet on the merch . Or send me 1 for my 24 plate be crafter flat bed . 1k miles a week think of the publicity 🤣 🎊 🎉

Classic

Morning Chris What's going on something actually got the beating of you for once and who would have guessed it would be that crappy little horse box 😡😡😡🤣🤣🤣 Also that clutch looks like a bloody mission to do and them bloody merc muppets you know why they wouldn't tell you anything Chris because they wanted you to hire them to do the job that is all about making money they see an opportunity to make money and it back fired on them fair play to the bloke at hull you spoke to for giving you the advice you needed he could of pulled the same stunt as merc Great work Chris Cheers mate bloody good show ye it was See you on the next one Whooo whooo

Ohhhhh holly

Simialr happened to me yrs ago granada scorpio cosworth old guy was giving me a jump put red onto the black vice versa burnt my loom out 😂😂😂 from 1997 ive nwver gave a jump or took one 😂😂😂😂

Don't have to take pips of un bolt then un clip them m8

Guys his struggling again yea he isssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssHahahahahahaahhaahahaha

Chris that's French not German 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Its definitely not a job for these snow flake young people, see why there's a mechanic shortage.. why would they do this... ?

Tell you wot i been on the boat spanners plant coming up to 30 years and the whizz poper has been a god send but i has fucked up some shit with it 🛠️⚓️🤠JB

See that's all it takes talk people what has happened to this country

Your German accent is spiffing...lol...

The transit be no good to Alfie if he’s been issued with a ban from being a very naughty boy and ending up in court 😂😂 Iveco’s are rubbish always breaks its radiators and doors and not forgetting it doesn’t like its passenger window all time 😂😂😂😂

🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥👍👍

Merc, what do you expect, junk at best, and some very poor dealerships.
