I'm in the USA, what i like about your channel is that you show us how to do repairs in our driveway using common tools. You also convinced me to buy a reel mower. I found one at a flea market for $100. It is a McClain type. I knew instantly what it was and how good a bargain it was from watching you repair those types.
@@ChrisPatrick-q6koh yeah. We are all the same no matter where we live. It’s hard to pass up a broken mower or any machine without me picking it up and bringing it home and repairing it. You can’t get ahead in life always buying brand new….
Grand job Martin. But for now I'm waiting for the warmer weather before I venture out to sort out the things I know need doing on my own car. Keep yourselfs safe Rob
I commented when you did the drive shaft and brakes that you had a whirring noise on the test drive! I knew something was amiss. Glad you got it sorted. I’ve never done a wheel bearing with the ABS built in before so it was good seeing how simple those are. I expected it to be a right nightmare!
It was worth the wait Martin, a few years back I had a rumble i changed the long drive shaft, turned out the left front wheel was loose (what a wally) never did tell the wife 🙄
Shhh your secret is safe with us... I've bought bits, then fixed the old ones and she's none the wiser. She's no idea of what's in the shed as she's no key for it 😉
@@retrorestore Nice to see he's enjoying it, that's a nice rebuild. I miss that sound, it's -20°C here in Quebec right now, My Fazer 1000 is frozen solid in my shed
Great video Martin. Wow you was lucky getting the old wheel bearing out, they are usually a pig to drive out with the corrosion. Nice new bearing kit with everything included. Did you have to stake the new centre nut or just torque it to spec ? Cheers, Jeff.
Isnt a way of checking the wheel bearing rotating the wheel with one hand on the spring... if the wheel bearing is bad it will transmit the shock to the spring allowing you to feel it
Great video. I have a similar sound and wonder if it could be the driveshaft bearing. In your case, did your sound change when driving and turning in different directions?
I been told jack the tyre up grab it from 9 to 3 o'clock push it in and out then From 12 to 6 give it wobble that's best way to check faulty wheel baring what you think ur a pro 😁
I wouldn't want to buy a car off you if you do things up FT (Finger Tight). I think one of my my wheel bearings is on it's way out because when I go around a roundabout and pressure is on the passenger side you can hear a noise.
Hi Martin, you did not understand. The sound was to hear if the wheel was turning. Sorry that I had to tell you this unpleasant news. Now you have to take everything back down again.🤷♀️
