Update 7th April : Happy to report Chris has already re-packed 4 bearings out of 6 with grease - thanks a lot for the advice!
Poor Chris is learning fast!
Do the Ocean swim dude... bring out the budgie smugglers..😅😅😅😅
George Costanza approves ✅
Yes, do it, in Sweden do like the Swedes.
Go for that swim before it's to warm 😂
yes
He ahould go to "långa bryggan" in bjärred, quite close to where they are. They have a restaurant and sauna a kilometer out into the ocean
That's a thing here in Sweden, we don't have laundromats, all our homes have washing machines, either in our home or if you live in a apartment complex and not have a washing machine there is laundry rooms in the apartment house you live in.
Do the swim!
Hej/hello and welcome to Malmoe/Sweden!
Good job on the axels, looks nice with a fresh coat of paint on. 👌🏻
And it’s really cool to see someone from Australia working on an old tgb in my hometown Malmoe…. 🇸🇪
The Sibbarp beach is not a proper beach, if you’re exploring Sweden you should check out Falsterbo strandbad at some point, it’s around 30 km from your location. It’s 👌🏻🤩
I hope you guys have a great time in Sweden, and I’m looking forward to see the tgb completed.
Really enjoy your build videos you guys do a really nice job. Question now that you have moved into the motorhome what are you doing for power, water, showers, and disposal of waste water? I know it's a funny question but just curious 🤗
You need to pack the bearings with grease before you install. You are heading towards premature bearing failure
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
One money saving tip would be to buy a grease gun and big 400g grease tubes, instead of those small tubes. Plus you are going to need it anyway to grease the vehicle in future.
Yep, could use something like Morris K48 molly for the CV housings.
A lot of people have already mentioned but those bearing were not greased properly and will end up failing soon and destroy your stub axle as well. Packing the bearing by hand takes about 10min per bearing to work the grease all through the rollers. It’s less about the amount of grease but making sure you’ve worked it into the right spots.
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
Need to pack those bearings lad no where near enough
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
Did you completely fill the roler berrings up with bearing grease by working the grease into the bearing using the palm of your hand.
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
Great that you mix in your "Sweden experience" with all the car stuff. As a Swede its interesting to take part of your view of the country, and I hope you dont find it too difficult being here. Anyhow, youre very welcome.
That's awesome feedback, thanks a lot for taking the time to comment!
Do Swedish air b@b not have washing machines
@@johngibson3837 Not the one we had unfortunately
@@TheOutFitI think the reason laundromats is so hard to find is that most swedish apartment houses have their own laundry rooms in the basement, and newer apartments usually has their own washing machines.
@@assarstromblad3280 Yes that's what we got told recently. For now we can use the caravan park luckily but in summer they won't let us so we'll need to find a plan B!
Get in the water Chris! :D
Regarding sightseeing i have these tips for you, all in Skåne:
Glimmingehus - Built in 1499 as a residence for a Danish knight and his family, Glimmingehus is Sweden’s best-preserved medieval chateau. They run a tour every weekday at 14.00, (12 and 14 during weekends). Open 11-16 daily.
Trelleborgen - A reconstruction of the former Viking castle that King Harald Blåtand erected in the 9th century and which gives the town its name, based on archeological findings at the site in 1988. A popular Viking market is held here every July, staging the dramatic Battle of Trelleborg.
Foteviken - a fully reconstructed viking village in Höllviken, they host a market June 27th-30th this year.
Lund cathedral - Built sometime during the 12th century
In Malmö you should check out the "Disgusting food museum" and challenge your tastebuds. :D
Thank you so much for sharing your local knowledge, much appreciated!
Learn by doing. It’s the only way to build confidence in the vehicle and develop your own skills. Biltema sell a cheap parts washer. You can also get a compact sand blasting ‘cabin’ from HBM Machines. Both will come in handy for the rebuild 👍
Well it looks like i'm going for a very cold swim then! What was I thinking 😂
In regards to the wheel bearings = The bearing housing (hub) itself has approx. 400 grams of grease packed into it to lubricate that bearing according to the service manual.
Would that not be enough for that roller bearing? As the hub rotates wouldn't that grease lubricate those rollers?
It's not too late for me to do the entire process again for the third time each but it would be great to here from someone who knows these tgb axles.
Cheers for all the comments (not the swim ones) and see you for next week's video 🤝
Hey mate the problem with the way they are greased is that the bearing will just spin around on top of all that grease in the hub. The grease doesn’t move around inside the hub as the bearing spins, it will just spin on top of all the grease in the hub if you ever pull down old bearings the grease inside the bearings will be black and the grease in the hub Center will be usually pretty good in comparison. When you pack bearings you need to force grease all the way through into the inner race of the bearings. In other words the grease you physically put in the bearings is the only grease that will be in the bearings, No grease will enter from the center hub,I’d personally watch a couple videos on packing bearings and you will see what I mean. Also are these hubs oil filled or just grease filled if they have oil in them it’s another kettle of fish? Anyway mate just my thoughts I’m a heavy diesel mechanic and don’t want to see you run into dramas when the bearings run hot.
Sorry to say but you need to pull apart and pack em properly.. saw thru the video after I originally made a comment that you had to pull apart a 2nd time for the wheel cylinder alignment, sucks to do again but if u dont you'll be doing it on the side of the road one at a time and end up with damaged stub axles or welded bearings to em with the heat.. should be easy now anyways with all the practice.. good luck.
@@defenda2477 I think the only thing filled with oil is the outta gear reduction part not the inner bearings inside the hubs..
@@defenda2477 couldn’t sum it up any better
@defenda2477 gave quite a good summary.
ruclips.net/video/BhL1uAp_WCw/видео.html
have a look at this short clip.
If a bearing is running on grease (not oil) this how they need to be packed. Grease is to hard/sticky to actually make it in.
If you can still reach it I'd redo this. If impossible I'd buy a set of bearings on spare and prepare for a next rebuild ;)
Hey mate probably need to pack those bearings a bit better on the stub axle, smearing grease around the outside isn’t the way to do it as the grease won’t be on the inside of the bearing. Get a needle end for a grease gun and inject it in if you cannot pack by hand. What grease you put into the bearings is pretty well all it’s going to get as the grease inside the hub will not really be doing much for the bearings in terms of lubricating the bearings
100%. I was devastated when I watched him do that. His going to have to pull all of them out and apart again. I’m not familiar with a needle end for a grease gun but pulling out all those bearings and packing them is a massive effort. But less effort than replacing a failed stub shafts on the side of the road
@@odinh89 - I'm assuming the bearings aren't in oil - couldn't recall in strip down if oil was on the outer hub. But agree that ain't how you pack a bearing - hope Chris works it out before to much further - if not in oil catastrophic failure is coming.
If the bearings run in oil (which I think they do) they don’t get packed, but if they are not, they must be packed, it’s not optional, and hoping for the best will only end in catastrophic failure!
@@bramptonlepage1629 just rewatched the portal removal vid. Think Chris is all good, seems its in oil.
I agree, but I'm wondering why the specs told him to fill the void halfway with grease??? 🤔
I only watched a couple of your vids from Australia but I am hooked on this build. Really interested in seeing how it all goes.
Also I think you should take the plunge in the ocean pool.
Do the swim mate 😉
You’re both doing an incredible job, heaps ballsy to take this on but you’re killing it and are inspiring. Thanks for the content!

Chris, Ange & Oaks
Gunna need more tubes of fat Chris, for that ocean pool swimming 😂
Following your rebuild. Very Nice work. I have a Pinzgauer and a Land-Rover FC101
In the previous episode (time 49:00 minute) you mentioned you cleaned/polished the inside of the brake drums. Perhaps it was not literally polished. I might interpret you wrong.
I was taught than when fitting new brake shoes, to check the inside diameter of the drum-brake to ensure they are with in spec and you have enough material. I believe yours will certainly be good.
Then take the drums to a brake shop or engineering works to have the inside of the skimmed on the lathe. That ensure "roundness" and a proper surface for the new brake pads to bed in.
Not trying to critique. Just think polishing a brake surface is not the best (if I understood it correctly)
Perhaps just double check on that as it is a critical safety thing for you and family.
Keep up the build. It's very exciting. 👍
You are going to need to remove those bearings and manually pack them with grease. If you don’t they’re going to fail and destroy the stub axles
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
You need to do the swim. You know you want to.
Really enjoying this series so far and looking forward to these videos.
Go take a swim as we real vikings do !! greetings from the danisch site !
Enjoying seeing the work you’re doing, but good to have a day off.😊 Hope you put more grease into the Roller Bearing needles off camera than was shown, like ball bearings they need a lot of grease around them 😊. Easy for me to say , ‘go for swim’ when I am sitting comfortable and warm 😂 . Cheers see you next episode 👍
exactly my thought
Skåne is a proper spring gem. Malmö is not what i as a swede visit when i am in skåne. Go for a trip along the coast and visit ystad, ale stenar, mälarhusen, kivik, brösarp.
Thank you for the recommendations :)
did you push grease trough the bearing before? I'd say the amount of grease used at ~18 minutes looks quite minimal. I tend to have grease on my handpalm and scoop/force it in trough the needle bearing to ensure the needles are well greased before the first run.
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
Chris, I’m not mechanically inclined at all so I don’t typically watch a build out video and definitely not a long one much less a series. But you have done such a great job of explaining and describing what you’re doing every step of the way and have made these videos so fun to watch I don’t want to miss any. Love the way you and Ange have made the situation work for you to all be there every step of the way. And Oakley is such a cute little stud! Great job with this series. Can’t wait to see the vehicle when you’re done!
That is probably one of the nicest comments we have received so far so thank you so much for taking the time to write it! We hope you enjoy the next episode on Friday :)
In other words!... Watching your videos is like balm for the soul. As well as pleasant with elements of daly family life with your woman, perhaps wife? (don't know if you are married) And with your little son, a little glimpse, and a bit of everyday life in Malmö. Your progress in your renovation goes from clarity to clarity, and I like your educational way of explaining what you are doing. Continue on this fine path. 😍😉👌👍
U should do the swim 😅
Do the swim!
Do the swim.
Sweating like a gypsy with a mortgage in Sweden. Keep up the hard work and content!
Your not making mistakes ....you are having learning moments.
From Australia 🇦🇺 Do the swim in the icy cold sea water, Do it for Australia 🇦🇺 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
do the swim.😁🥶 Tip for using the puller, use your powered wheel gun. Its a lot faster an you wont damage the puller
Epic Job Mate . Well Done.
Thank you so much for all your comments :)
You are doing an awesome job! At 19:50, you really should work much more grease into the bearing/rollers. They should be packed up, really well. Just look up a tutorial on youtube. Great work, keep it up!
Fantastic progress, you guys are doing a great job!
OI Dude,
Great Job of You Both.
Respect for the TEAM Work.
Looking forward.
Grets from the MOG.
Silke❤Jo
A trick with new hard brake lines is to tighten them fully, back off a half to full turn, then retighten them. I have found over the years, it seems to prevent them from leaking once you start bleeding everything. Before I started doing things this way, I used to get leaks at most of the fittings. I almost get none to leak after doing it this way. Good luck!
You will have too do the swim, it a very Swedish thing too do. There is a laundromat at the marina in Malmo. The folks from RAN sailing Chanel used it when their boat was based there. You will be an expert with the TGB running gear by the time your done . CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h
Thanks so much for that we have actually gone to the marina this morning and the laundry facilities are perfect 👍
How long are you staying in Malmö? We will arrive there mid August with our MAN Kat1 and would be delighted to meet you and see the built in person.
Not too sure how long but we'll probably still be there in August so please remind us then :) thank you so much for the extra support!
Make sure the swim is posted!
You should get a sponsorship from Biltema whit the amount of free exposure they get from this rebuild 😆
Ahah that would be ideal, we spend way too much money there 😄
Well done on taking on this project, one piece of advice if i may is to pack the bearing with grease before you fit them, this video shows the best way: ruclips.net/video/UywlK7VQIRE/видео.htmlsi=nsKjXG1P98gnVmDB
Thanks a lot for following along! We have added a pinned comment with an update about the bearings :)
Good on ya Chris for getting all this work done really enjoy the build .... My wife on the other hand uses it as an excuse for a culpa lol. !!! Keep up good work. 😆
100% you have to swim and rep the budgie smuggler's...
Glad you took the day off mate. You need to give the headspace a chance to reset.
No laundromat? Sounds like a business opportunity...
25:59 26:00 26:01 26:02 26:05 26:14 26:15 Yes u should do that Ocean pool swim ...yr penance for 26:56 using that claw hammer keep up the good work looking forward to the next episode
I too cringe when I see Chris with his Builders Claw hammer.. Coming from a heavy engineering background I do everything with ball pein hammers or a shot filled soft face mallet.
Go Kiwi..!!
Phew you’re really good at this stuff Chris. Impressive learning on the go with such a big project and such attention to detail. Loving this series, keep it up!
Awesome job and video.
You're doing great! It's very exciting to see this project process. Great support from family and friends too.
Thank you so much for subscribing and following along!
Do the ocean swim.....NO BALLS!!! lol
What company did you used for the royalty free music on this episode? So much nicer than most common RF tunes?
That's nice to hear thank you! Finding music is the hardest part of the whole video process. We got them from Epidemic Sound :)
Sounds like your taking a dip mate 😉 😅.
Great progress
Scheel Mann seats, ooh, la, la…. you definitely have to swim in the ocean pool. Really enjoying this new build series. 🤙
Do the freezing dip mate 😂and its a big credit to ya mate gee the mechanics and stuff you have learnt and from the past now more on this project is amazing your doing great 👍
Thanks for another fantastic episode, need to have some time off occasionally to gain some perspective.
Hola from Krasnoyarsk (Siberia mid Russia) :D
Winter swimming period is over now it is spring swimming period 😛
A hope you have a god time in Sweden and thats is a great car, we call it the tg13 if a remeber right from the militery time. Here you don’t take a coffe to go, here you take a fika with real cups😊
Olle from sweden
Swim swim swim freeze your GONADS
What an awsum learning experience if nothing else
Thank you so much for following along!
Hey! I don't kwow in what episode you'll cover that part, but what is the small radiator on the right, the one next to the flap and next to the main radiator?? I only found 1 video in wich is mentioned, and there is a big noise on top of the voice when the the guy explains what that small radiator is for!
when i installed my bearings i froze the shaft down to -18c and heated the bearing on a hot plate bought in the blue temple
Once the weather gets a bit better later in May/June you should defenitely do a weekend drive East along the coast to Ystad and then Kivik in "Österlen". Beautiful area with rolling hills, apple orchards, beaches and just beautiful scenery (by Swedish standards). Nimis Arx in Höganäs/Mölle is also cool.
Also. Will you be exploring Sweden/Norway once the Volvo is done or will you be driving south into central Europe?
You need to take a daytrip to København... Thank you for the video , From a Dane in Copenhagen. 🙂
That's on the cards for sure :) thanks for watching from Denmark!
Copenhagen is a great place to visit, you need to do that!
Swim! It'll be like nothing you've ever done before. Have a sauna nearby though.
Hello Chris, Ange and Oakley.
Kudos to you guys for having such a positive attitude while adjusting to your new environment in Sweden.
Chris, you're doing a great job learning as you go along rebuilding the rig. You could addopt a new saying for the Outfit Shop.
"We do it right because we do it twice" 😊
Keep up the good attitude and take a family break from time to time...
Regards to all
Lou
Do the swim bro!!!
Can't You see the difference of a Swan and a Geese.? When You have that Volvo ready, and You are here in Scandinavia, the first Trip You should take, is to drive along the Norwegian coast all the way between the Russian Border & the Sweedish Border, ore take the ferry from south part of Norway to Denmark, I asume You are going to ship the car from Hamburg ore Bermen to USA.? You can drive North thru Sweeden--Finland--Norway ( Kalix-Torneå-Rovaniemi-Utsjok)
thats not how u pack a bearing, doubt they will last long...
oh beat to it by everyone else haha.. all good learning along the way.. felt the same cringe moment with the tie rod ball joint hammering last ep hahah... if ya get stuck just google for advise or for things ya aint done b4, easier than pulling it all apart and doing it again..
We have added a pinned comment, cheers!
The machine gun nest is probably a WW II relic. Part of the "Atlantic wall" which the Germans thought would stop the allies from invading Europe ;-)
I live in Malmö, and I agree with you that large parts of it is actually quite ugly. Unfortunately during the 1960 there was a huge hysteria in tearing down old buildings in order to modernize. In ten years they tore down and built homes for more than one million people. In some cities 70-80% of buildings were torn down. What they built up instead of the old beautiful buildings were cheap and ugly concrete housings, but at least the standards were higher.
If you are in to older stuff Lund or Helsingborg is a better visit.
Thank you for the insights, that's a shame! We will definitely explore other cities at some stage. We were thinking going to see the Kalmar castle soon :)
@@TheOutFitKalmar is a beautiful city. It was the capital of Scandinavia in the Middle Ages. Have lived there.
gotta do the swim oz, where 👀👀 ,, those tires silverstone mt117 285 /85/16 I won the bog hole at tough truck in a zook on them in 2002 ,, horrid on wet bitumen , GREAT WORK !
Ahh yes france and Englishis even worse than Germany and English......
so ive been to Pforzeim and strasbourg in 2018 whilst Sweden beat out Germany in the WC which was insane.
i have never seen so many Ambulances arrive in a town of the size of Pforzeim as i saw that afternoon.
they had never had so many strokes and heart attacks as that day.
The people were still very good sports about it and we had a wonderfull time.
Whilst the germans spoke poor english the french of my own age 20-30+ spooke none.
not the best time to have low bloodsugar and trying to mimic my way to a resturant .
and the French parking level was of the Ace Ventura in africa level.
I dont understand how the French could have a army marhish at the same direction with the cars parking ive seen....
best regards.
PS Lund is close by malmö with alot more historical sights.
And i do reccomend Bohuslän north of gothenburg especially the Kungälv Stenungsund, Tjörn and Orust area in the late spring early summer time.
there is ample historical museums and art museums like the Akvarell Museum and Pilane art fields on Tjörn in the summer.
Tanum is another intresting area with carvings from the olden times and the Nordens ark is uniqe with its animal protection programme
Bohuslän is regarded as one of the most beautfull areas in the world and its easy to see why.
Malmö is an old industrial town. If you want history Stockholm and central Sweden might be more interesting. Not far from Malmo is the university town of Lund. It is worth a visit.
You should check out the Lumonite Compass headlamp as a replacement for that Olight. Really popular here in Sweden
Do the Ocean swim Mate x100
You might have already done the other bushings, but if not a German couple have a channel LR Time, and they show in detail how they remove the old bushings from their Landies. Apparently having a drill bit with sharp edges helps. In one of their recent uploads, they show step by step what they do and also mention the bit they use. Requires a vice, so that would be a late night for you. The upload is ruclips.net/video/3lGsfB4pyts/видео.html
Hope it helps, I enjoyed this episode 😀
Hear me out - you build a habital living area upstairs and open up a van conversion/mechanics business in the shed. BOOM.
On my search for the car I found a google drive with all the owners manuals and stuff, im assuming you also found that online? Someone scanned most of the manuals for most versions (incl the 6x6) and put them online
You shuld do the Ocean Swim, it’s good wakeup
You should visit JULA to its like Biltema but whit out car parts, they have rely cheap cloth and to the baby to.
Mate i think you could save yourself a week if you didnt paint everything that is purley cosmetic. Diffs will look like you havent touched them the first time it goes offroad!
Chris , your doing so well mate , I did and have done all my builds and mods on my driveway , with nothing , no hoists all with jack stands and a trolley jack , keep goin mate , thumbs up 👍🏻
Get in the drink Chris😊
Winter bathing is all the hype in Scandinavia for being a big positive for overall wellness and health.
Kudos for digging back into the hubs. F.A.I.L = First Attempt In Learning.
For O-rings, there’s a grease called Molycote 55. This stuff will keep your rings elasticity way past what is expected. It’s pricy but it’s the stuff of gods for that.
Chris you have to do the ocean swim.
I reckon you need to get a Bluetooth speaker so ya can have some tunes.
Good effort so far bigger job than i thought. 😨
You need to stop working so hard. LOL Once you go the hubs up in there, just support it with the floor jack.
You said it do the swim.
Just be careful when you refit the PTO it will require shims to give the correct clearance of the gears if not it will load the bearings and cause premature failure
Never heat a bearing stick the shaft the bearing goes on in the freezer for a few hours and you'll get the same results without chancing warping the bearing
I admire your dedication to the cause ! Living in a parking and working in a tight place it is WOW. But it is blessing that you have this place and you ar really chacing you dreams. Bravo and keep up smiling fam !!! All my respects for Greece !
Well done on that bearing, they can be a pain.
No, you won´t find many Laundromats in Sweden, except for the dry cleaners 🙂And yes of course you will have to do the ocean swimming, you get to choose between the Kallbadhuset or the nudist beach a bit further down the beach 🙂
At least it´s getting warmer now down here in the south, last night it was -30° in the north...
If you have a acetylene torch this is the fastest and easiest method by far .ruclips.net/user/shortskM_F75Vuk6A?si=y33pu7863Paw32iQ
I tried and found the real trick is to put the tip of the blue flame right on the race it really makes a difference. The first time I did it I had the tip of the blue flame like 1 cm away and it took four times as long.Here is removal from long axel ruclips.net/user/shortsbqKmvhbh1eY?si=tL-KOvtFgz7cl1oe I did not use a bearing (I did not have one) but screwed a screw through a piece of wood and balanced it on that .
Plus 1 for the swim :)
Especially as you promised to get back to doing more "outdoor fitness" . Although I'm here for the travels, you sounded like you wanted to show more fitness the other month.
I love what you two doing!!
Wheelbearing grease is called" hjullager fett" hope you got the right one. The type for boat is great for 4x4. Because if it get vet. Biltema is a cheap store. Not everything is good quality.
Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸 ¿ de que color vais a pintar el vehiculo ?
No offence but how many products in an Aussie supermarket are labeled in Swedish? I've included a list of historic castles and manors in your region, see link:
sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%C3%B6ver_slott_och_herrg%C3%A5rdar_i_Sk%C3%A5ne
Do the swim. Show them the southerners aren't afraid of the cold
