I was blessed to find one of those young, before I even knew much about cars. There were so many shops to choose from, so I decided my best bet would be the shop that proudly declares that it's a family run father son shop. NEVER had an issue on price or scams. Dude tells me everything I need to know, tells me what I can ignore for awhile, etc. When I buy a new car, I have it driven over to his shop to inspect before I buy it lol

I like how the tire requires a tube when it's square but not after it's "repaired."

@david672orford Год назад

Presumably they added the tube for the joke part of the video since otherwise it could not be inflated since it would not seal to the mangled rim.

@@oliver6287 *also it doesn’t look like they switched the wheel at all* I think they might have. When they first start trying to un-square the wheel, the back rim has a lot of rust on it. Next part after they are done, all the rust is gone as well.

Friend of my dad's once messed with the new guy by telling him "Yo, we're running out of sandpaper, go to the photocopier and make a bunch of copies of this one" and the new guy actually did it. 😅 That was pre-internet though; he just wanted to show to my dad that his new apprentice was, in fact, not the sharpest tool in the shed. (Neither was he, though, considering that that could've probably scratched the photocopier)

@woodworkerroyer8497 10 месяцев назад

@beardiemom LOL. I was thinking it was gonna end up in the copier getting it jammed or scratched. Messing with the new guys is never really smart thing (at least not rhe ones that make it to RU-vid LOL). Even really harmless pranks can lead to the new guy leaving or losing trust in their coworkers.

Using co2 or refrigerate to shrink those sleeves will allow you to just drop them in. The rule of thumb for a interference fit is 0.001" per inch of diameter of the sleeve. So if you have a 4in od sleeve the hole is going to be 3.996. Freezing the sleeve with a sub 200° refrigerate will easily shrink a couple thou smaller allowing those sleeves to almost fall in.

I was in the tire manufacturing industry for 25 years. The trimming of the sidewall in the bead area, as long as they don’t take too much isn’t a big deal on tires with the bead protector like that.

@@ryurc3033 What's the appeal to white-wall tires? I've heard them mentioned in varying contexts, so I can't figure out if they are just cooler looking (to a certain age group that is), or if there is a technical advantage/disadvantage to the white compound they used, or if it's simply a matter of them not being made anymore, and therefore being expensive/rare.

11:30. I was about 17 sitting in line at a drive thru car wash with my dad. The car ahead went into the auto pull-through device, and half way it got stuck. Out walks a young kid from india who was working the gas station. The gears that drove the chain were all caught up, My father and I could see clearly into the wash bay. The young worker grabbed the chain that drove the entire wash bay, and right when he did it engaged. His hands were between gears bigger than Our faces, and a chain roughly 2 inches thick thats designed to pull hummers and more. It happened so fast He had no shot, His hands went around those gears and turned into jello. We could see his fingers hanging on by threads of skin and what was probably tendon. Morale of the story is dont fucking risk your life for stupid shit.

9:10 this is litterally how industreal sleeves are fitted for interferance fit. we use dry ice to freeze the sleeve and torches to heat the hole; typically heat works better than cold

I love all your videos guys, good luck and congratulations!!

@grantgilpin5672 Год назад

the hub trick using heat to remove the bearing race works way better then any other method ive tried... once you get good at it and good at using a torch it will become your go to method. works everytime I swear. last resort should be going old school, cutting a slit and cracking it in half using a chisel and hammer because chances of causing damage is higher then heat. the spinning in required so it just slips down once expanded enough otherwise if it was still it wouldnt want to slide down like it does spinning. that one is legit and worth trying if you havent.

Snug up a bearing separators behind the race heat it up good and pry it off quickly with one bar back and forth or 2 pry bars at once.

Been with you guys since the first up to speed and two grandmas and one Lamborghini, congrats on 7 million subscribers! You all are doing amazing and can’t wait for the future!!!

I came across this video because I've just been binging on Donut 🍩 and the appreciation at the end is really genuine. One thing that can be said about the guys at Donut is they fill a void that has been left behind by Top Gear. Definitely not comparing them, but I guess you could say I'm New Old School where I grew up on F&F, car mags and Jeremy Clarkson and I'm really thankful these guys fill that void. I hope they take it as a serious compliment 😁

I recently moved to the heavy duty diesel industry and was amazed when my coworker told me after cracking the filter loose, before it breaks the seal, they use a punch and hammer to drain the filter before removing it. Saves a lot of mess and no slippery filter.

@krys42091 Год назад

This is a great series, I'd love to see a pro install a part versus the donut guys or first timers lol this kind of perspective and insight is real valuable.

@ShionWinkler Год назад

The belt one, reminded me of a kid at a shop I worked at once. He was in a rush and decided to drill something while holding it in his hand... All we heard was screaming and turned to see the drill bit through his hand......

For the drum brake spring hack (looks to be on a semi trailer) the initial swing with the small orange springs and the pivot pins is legit, but it is much easier to put the blue spring on before the 2 rollers on the s-cam.

@NBSV1 Год назад

Yep. And I don’t buy being able to just pop the blue spring on with a big chain like that. There isn’t all that much clearance where the spring hooks over the pin so I just don’t see it working that well. Especially with the weird cut in there. Sure seems like they cut out where it didn’t work with that camera shake.

@zerophotography1372 Год назад

NBSV1 I work on semi trucks and this is a easy way to do brakes is a real thing. It does not work on all brake types tho, but it works in some of the most common ones.

@mgconklin995 Год назад

@@zerophotography1372 wouldn't pulling the chain straighten the hook out of the spring though? Never did drums on a semi only passenger cars so I'm assuming springs are larger/heavier but chains don't magically lift off hooks

@CodeineAbdulJabbar Год назад

That clip is edited. That’s why the camera guy swung the camera over real fast. It’s two clips edited together

@NBSV1 Год назад

@@mgconklin995 It wouldn't damage the spring. But, you have to hook that spring over a pin that's in the center of the shoe. And, there isn't much of a gap in the hook part of the spring. Normally it would only take about 30-45min to change the shoes on an axle if the wheels come off easy and everything isn't seized up. It's way easier to just hook the big spring first then put on the smaller springs. But, I'm big enough to push the smaller springs. Sometimes they're hard to manage if you don't have the weight. There's many different ways to do them. But, in all the years I've been working on trucks I've never seen anybody do them this way and have it be worth the trouble. The cut in there says a ton. It likely either took them several tries, or they just put it together normally and then cut in them yanking the chain.

The heavy duty brake shoe chain trick and the heat up the race to remove from hub tricks work. In the heavy duty truck trade we do this all the time.

@jaykay9783 Год назад

i've worked for a big european truck manufacturer putting sleeves in their 9 and 12L engines, they actually do something like that. The sleeve is going in a fluid in a refrigerator, the block was heated up to 80 celsius while pressure testing the freeze caps in a hot water bath. After 10 mins it came out and i manually had to install the sleeves, they fell right in if you had the sleeve perfectly perpendicular ( which is way easier then you'd expect , took an hour to get the hang of it and put them in 1 handed )

Clearong the drain - loved it. In the Navy we'd hook up 180PSI fire hose to a clogged sewer drain. Worked every time - but sometimes made a nasty mess if we missed a vent.

@briandavid3637 Год назад

I've used that same tire tank over many years,if you get a long pipe,I think 3 inch diameter fits you can make that into a nice cannon,125 psi will launch a can of soda so high you can barely see it 😂😂😂 just be careful 👍

@jaywiebe7612 Год назад

@@briandavid3637 I have had that on my list of things to build for a couple years now. As long as the valve is threaded which it will be, you can have an easily switchable tire blaster/potato cannon. And my air compressor goes to 180 psi. Well it did when I bought it. I turned it down. But shooting soda cans at that pressure seems a touch sketchy

@egroegartfart Год назад

How have I never seen this channel in my life and I watch a lot of car and bike channels? This is the first time since I've been watching RU-vid since like 2009 that one of their videos got recommended to me. That is insane. Lately thats happened with a couple other large channels also. Really weird but I'm glad I found it.

@michaeltutty1540 3 месяца назад

Years ago I cleaned the drain holes on the doors of an old Chevy van. The holes were totally plugged, and the water coming out was as clean in the video. The cylinder sleeve can be a great hack. That is not compressed air. It is spray nitrogen, which is very cold. That will allow the sleeve to go in, and when it warms up to room temperature the sleeve will stay in place.

@scottmerchant8544 Год назад

the chain on the drum brake works super well, but only on certain styles. I have a chain in my toolbox with my notched out screwdriver for doing the other styles of brake shoes

@beston647 Год назад

Yeah dude it's a legit thing. Camera man got hit with an elbow. I'm laughing at all the auto mechanics that don't know anything heavy duty or commercial transport

This was a really fun and informative video to watch. Yes, some of them were obviously not recommended methods of repairs, but thanks. This was really enjoyable!
