Well done again Simon. Here in the salt belt, makes things even worse on mechanics. Glad to see you continue to check things off your list before winter. Last month and my dead as a door nail thyroid has caused me to start smoking again. Atleast i get to enjoy a smoke with my coffee again. Waiting on an endocrinologists to call and im hopeful to get things figured out and get back to somewhat of my old self. Praying you get great sleep and rest. God bless and appreciate you sharing as always. Thank you my friend. Be safe. Hello Sara 👋
Thank you Sr, the age thing is a pain in the backside. I think you brave to even admit it and it does improve the coffee experience I agree. We wish you good health and the best weekend. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks for another ride along. I agree with you about the heat shrink, good stuff. Our weather here has been severe. Rain, high winds, lightening. At least I don't have to go out into it anymore. Take care Simon. God Bless you Sarah and Kasper. Alan
Your welcome Alan, if you were here I could sit you in the sawmill building. All the fun of the storm without the wet feeling! We sent our blessings and hope you have a great week.
Success I'm sure both vehicles passed with flying colours! Took me a while to get through the video but, as always, I enjoy spending time with you... and a bit with Kasper! Greetings Sarah... I trust you're still winning at the fishing!?
Hi Simon. A lot of work to be done to keep our vehicles safe on the roads, good job you can do that work yourself. Save a lot of money not giving it to repair shops. You mentioned grease on the trailer brakes. I’m pretty sure there should be an inner seal on the brake drum. I never saw being able to slide the drum over the bearings like that. Just a thought as to why grease is spreading onto the shoes possibly. Keep up the great videos
Like you Simon, I do my own repairs on my vehicles because it saves tons of money, and I don't trust someone else to be as careful and thorough as me. I've been burned by poor workmanship before and the only time I pay a shop is if a repair is beyond my ability or requires specialty equipment.
Same Matthew and it is for that reason I have no requirement for a modern vehicle with computers, if a man made it I can fix it, generally. I learned what limp mode was when I was in my teens I sure as hell don't need help with that. Have a great weekend and as always Thank you.
OUR 767 is off and away for inspection! That was really fun and very interesting watch thank you Simon. And once again you made it look so darn easy. Have a super weekend.❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪
Howdy Simon- great job doing all the maintenance. I’ve had to do the same thing with my old work truck. The tension wheel does make a noise when gone. Had to get a half inch break over bar to get it off like you did. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Hope you have a great weekend. God bless
Hi Paul, I am not sure how long they last until they eventually seize and take the belt out but it is a relief once done. I see today the long range weather forecast for you is predicting a severely cold winter so get them jobs done while you can. Be well my friend and may all the blessing be with you.
Well did old boy ! Them bearings I just pop the seals out and pump 3-4 squirts of grease in there good for a couple of years. Yeah I’m cheep about them 🤷♂️ thanks for the vid have a great weekend folks.
Thanks Simon, great job, grinding and wire wheeling on cast iron used to raise my iron levels after that I use a respirator. Lol. Take care have a great weekend.
No disrespect intended, however the uneven pad wear is because the the sliders in the callipers are slightly seized. split the carrier and grease the pins. The rear callipers are the worst design ever prone to seizeing. As always great work. Stay safe. Old engine oil painted on the under carriage will save her in the long run.
I agree. If the caliper cannot slide freely on the pins it won't apply pressure from both sides, squeezing both pads evenly. I always remove the caliper from the bracket to inspect the sliders and rubber seals (boots). If rust found, replace. Reassemble with silicone based grease. Petroleum based grease is not compatible with rubber. Simon, you skipped an important step.
Boom . Number 1 . Brb.. sometimes them serpentine belts can be a huge pain in the ass. If you got it down and all the parts changed out along with it. Brakes you probably work a little better I'm guessing hope you pass the inspection and have a good day
@@arctic-rebel .530 am and getting things together for pouring 7 yards of concrete and stamping it . Hope to be home by noon and having a rum and coke by 1215 😄👊👍. I hope u have a good weekend as well .
@@arctic-rebel 7 yards later and stamped and 0 video and just a few pics 😄😔 I forgot my tripod. . And was done by 1030 and no rum and cokes yet its only noon .😠😄 but soon 👍😄 hope ur day is going or want good .
The poor little tensions wheel lives a hell of a life against the guide wheels at the sawmill. One cut in the sawmill is maybe 2 minutes turning, what about when you going 100km in the car... 5000rpm/m in 2 hours... 😰😰
The landcruiser is fine and running perfectly, I just don't have a use for this year. It is out of the barn because my Daughter has been driving it. She was born and raised in it and just loves to be in it or better still driving it. We have had it in the mountains, she can drive it there.
Hi Dave, depends where you live, further south they use alot of salt and older cars need undercoat and much care. However; if you get a car from here or north of here they are in exceptional condition because we are either frozen solid or in summer just 2 seasons here and little or no rust as long as it does not sit in snow melt. Keep them high and they will last a long time. I have seen many 50,60,70+ year old car with no rust at all here.

Another job well done... and it's waay more entertaining watching you piddlin' with the van than any tv-channel out there👍 All the best buddy🙂
Thanks 👍 that has made my day. Have a great one yourself

Greetings Sarah... I trust you're still winning at the fishing!?
Thanks AJ, all is good and we set the cages 3 days ago and on Sunday had 50 good sized fish in one cage!
Wow, that's a result!!👍👍
Hi Simon.

I’m pretty sure there should be an inner seal on the brake drum.
I never saw being able to slide the drum over the bearings like that.
Just a thought as to why grease is spreading onto the shoes possibly.
Keep up the great videos
Thanks Dave, The inner seals looked ok but I may need to change them in the future, not driving with the brake on may also help!

Thanks Brad, cheap would not be doing them at all I am sure what you give them is enough . You also have a great weekend.
Thanks Simon, great job, grinding and wire wheeling on cast iron used to raise my iron levels after that I use a respirator. Lol. Take care have a great weekend.
Thanks Mark, never a nice job and this was the worst I have done that I can remember. Be safe and enjoy.

Thank you William, I agree, in fact I was surprised they were not seized solid given the condition of the rotors.
Your right Matthew, not the first time I have missed an important step. Maybe next summer when I do the underbody I should revisit them.

I have done it, or this or that or whatever and a wasted opportunity. I know you did it and am sure it is great well done.
@@arctic-rebel yeh . It came out very nice.
🤠👍 The Word is: Impressed!
I am living too far from you. Otherwise I would use Åskilje Bil & Traktor for my car services.
Tack, you and half the village. Ta hand om dig.

It is ok Anders, it has no feelings just plastic
@ 😂
Sure lots of rust jacking on them rotors not a whole lot ya’s can do about that machine replace or move on works👍
Your Toyota isn’t running?
The landcruiser is fine and running perfectly, I just don't have a use for this year. It is out of the barn because my Daughter has been driving it. She was born and raised in it and just loves to be in it or better still driving it. We have had it in the mountains, she can drive it there.
Try u tube Simon? Lol for your serpentine belt and pullies. Do you guys undercoat your cars in Sweden?
