    On those rod threads,little trick I picked up was to lather the threads up with copper never seize before trying to bring the nut off.Most times it will stop a gall before it gets started,at least the section under the self locking feature.
    Pretty impressive what that Milwaukee impact can do. I find all my cordless stuff is great for when I need to grab something up and jump on a job. Save the air for the all day stuff.

    Try Permatex right stuff on that oil pan. I’ve used it on oil pans, trans pans, diff covers, intake manifolds. If it’s applied clean and dry it can be put to use right away and I’ve never had a comeback or leak.

    • @scottleggejr
      @scottleggejr 4 года назад

      Might as well weld it on 🙄 Do it right by the service manual and replace compromised components instead of gluing stuff together to be quick/cheap. Knocking out that engine for an oil leak will cost more than the time and parts to do it proper to the engineered spec.

    • @jeffclark5024
      @jeffclark5024 4 года назад +1

      Scott L the engineered spec of making an oil pan not leak? MANY oil pans are sealed with silicone from the factory. No it’s not like welding it on. They can be removed later if need be. I was simply offering a suggestion for what I KNOW works. I really don’t give a F#%! About what engineers think. I’ve yet to see a single one come out in the field and fix their mistakes.

    • @markw2266

    your channel was recommended to me by youtube and what a great video it was, Milwaukee is the No.1 tool other right now in the cordless industry, their research and engineering has put them there and that's from the 1/4" - 1" drive like yours there, my friend is a industrial mechanic and he is out on the road and swears by his milwaukee 1" gun with those 12 amp/hr batteries he's got 3 of them and a dual charger , this reminds me of the days when i built big Versatile farm tractors back in the late 70's early 80's doing frames and axle installs, the axle weighed right around 4 tons dry and we had a 1 1/2" impact gun with a 1' airline to install these axles that was on wheels 2 3/4" nuts doubled up and near 3000 lbs torque ,OMG the noise, we wore earplugs and headphones to protect ourselves, don't miss that part of the job , it was a good job all the same and i learned how to almost build and repair a whole tractor, darn near 40 yrs ago, Jay is just a universe of knowledge and experience and has the patience to stand back and say i can do this a better and safer way and get my customer running again. to have the money invested in a Milwaukee setup like that is cheap, so you spend say $ 2/3000.00 thats cheap when you factor in downtime and lost income plus your paying wages on top of that, that Milwaukee set up probably just saved you$10,000 in lost income/production time, i work in heavy steel now and know that for every hour 1 of our production lines or heat treating furnaces are down it is $2500 US an hour in lost income and man that hurts, thx again for the great video looking forward to the next one, cheers and stay safe

I understand it's saving the tool but the whole point of the tool is to do that..... so that's why I won't go above 1/2" cordless and even then I still have air

    Pretty beast little tool, but the old air machine has a 100% duty cycle unless your compressor runs out of gas or diesel. It costs more up front, but it'll run longer than the plastic and batteries too. It's nice to see the portable units have the power, but nothing beats the old zinc casing on the air tools. If you were taking those nuts off all day long, nothing beats the big setup.

I think the nut could have been loosen with less time if the rod is fasten more securely on to the vice. 9:22 showing the piston rod twisting back in forth. This action absorb the impact of the gun. Also about the frozen pin removal, we used to drill grease holes to those pins for the operator to grease occasionally for easier removal of the pins and less down time repair of the equipment.

    You should know that if you need to repair the bolt threads, you will need to repair the nut as well

    Cordless impact wrenches in general are a HUGE game changer in tools. Mine's not a Milwaukee but I keep it in the back seat of my truck. It's come in handy so many times.

    @hp2084 5 лет назад +1

    Just a wrench with a long handle would do the job faster because althought the nut is hard it isnt stuck and would move with brute force. This video would be half the length if you did that.

    I have all the Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact tools from 3/8" to 1" for my trucking operation and they are wonderful. The 3/8" and 1/2" stays in the truck at all times with two 8 Ah batteries and a charger which I plug into inverters when needed. The 3/4" and 1" with 12 Ah batteries stay in the house until needed. I just did all new brake drums and shoes on truck with 1" Milwaukee and two batteries and it works beautifully. A few weeks back I needed a wheel seal replacement on side of road and service truck with air-powered 1" impact had difficulty removing my lug nuts that I put on with my 1" Milwaukee. Expensive, YES but worth it. As for your service trucks, I'm really shocked that you don't use hydraulic tools for removing those huge nuts instead of air-powered or battery powered tools. A lot of the big shop mobile repair units now use hydraulic tools for everything from wheel lug nut removal to heavy duty repairs and the plus side is they have settable torque settings which mean they can not only loosen and tighten lugs nuts for example but also apply final torque at the same time. My tire shop in Indy uses one because everything is in one-step.

  • @richardpfeiffer979
    @richardpfeiffer979 5 лет назад +2

    What is the torque setting on that nut? I couldn't imagine it being so difficult to remove after it broke loose. The locking crimp part must be crazy stout. I am no engineer, but always wonder why they make tolerances so tight. Jay is the man.

    I find the best tools to work on large hydraulic machines just so happens to be hydraulic power tools. A stanley IW16 would've wopped that nut off in like 30 seconds.

    I'd you want a carreer in working on heavy equipment,just buy you some second hand logging equipment.i promise if you don't go broke first,very possible ,and run it use it and it's gonna break,I don't care what brand you buy it's gonna break and u either repair it yourself or pay some one ,folks these kind of Mechanix they make good money too!! Loggers are Mechanix just as much as they are timber harvesters and forest management professionals.you land owners wanna sell your timber go ask a logger!! Dobt hire a consultant that's gonna send put bid sheets blow smoke up your butt tgat they know woods or forest mgmt maybe t hey do but why does your timber money need to pay more people than you? Cut that middle man out sell straight to a respected logger that's in your region. Social media today tells exactly who us a good business minded logger and those who arent!

    oooh loctite on that nut be crying to get it of though some heat before hand could make it somewhat ok later on.
    And I agree it's not till you actually use it on stuff for real, till you get any real idea of how good or bad it is.
    I have a few milwaukee tools and the battery life lasts for a long time, a lot longer than I ever thought.

    The last ram I did, I couldn’t get the gland nut to break loose with anything. Even the 1in air. Had to take it to the hydro shop and use their table. Broke loose at 3500ftlbs. Those things can be spicy.

    Too bad I'm expecting to see that Milwaukee did succeed in doing it's job, but I guess from watching it did not succeed so you just walked away so the other guy could used the air impact wrench instead and bang came back touching the Milwaukee as if it's the one which really did the job done😅😅😅

    Impact guns work best when the side that is being taken off is not vibrating. I should be secured as tight as possible so that each impact is as effective as possible to take that nut off. Any looseness absorbs the impact rendering the tool to lose power just wasting power.

    Great Video. I just finished a few videos and you now have a new subscriber! Keep up the good work! 👍
    On another note, we just have light equipment... T300 bobcat, S590 bobcat, 330E bobcat, ditch witch, both dump trucks are smaller single wheel 16ft, etc etc. You get the point. Nothing like y'alls have. We have the M18 fuel High torques and they have been an absolute godsend! I am itching for an excuse to buy the 1 inch! I am getting one now. We have snapped a few of our larger heavy duty impact sockets with that 1/2 inch. I think mainly because the anvil size. Not completely sure. Anyway, there's only been a dozen of times or so, that we can't break something loose without heat. I think having at least 1" will take care of that completely. So I appreciate the video! 👍🇺🇸
