I'm actually glad that you went through this... just kinda lost art form , I am happy that it went all back together well and you were able to drive her out. Good Job Man!!
Glad you are a horder because you never know what you may need. My wife thinks I have a lot of junk, But most of my friends think I have a gold mine. But I dont have nearly a good of stash that you have Glad it was an easy fix for you. Someone without that wonderful hord of spare parts may have been hurting trying to find spares. Great video, Your bad luck makes us watchers good luck with neat videos
Spare parts, you can never have enough spare parts! got a 71 Cutlass out of a little old lady's estate, She met me when I painted her husbands 65 Cutlass when I was 17 years old and decided she wanted me to have her 71 when she was gone! The car needed work and when she retired in 1985 she went on vacation and her son took the car to a cut rate shop and had it redone and she was furious! The car looked good and she couldnt' hardly drive anymore so the car sat in the garage where she could walk out and see it! In nice weather she would open the doors to the garage so she could see it while she cooked or did dishes! When she passed the whole family fought over it and it sat for over 20 years and they all wanted it but they didn't know how to make it run! Finally they called me and I gave the grandson a torch red 89 Grand Prix with a big Fiero wing on it for the Cutlass that had a nest so big under the hood that you couldn't see the engine and the glove box was home to many more mice! The car looked nice and I had it running and driving the same day ! First ''parts '' purchase was two more Cutlasses, one for the Rally wheels with period correct Kelly Super Charger tires and the rear bumper! It ran so I put a set of rusty Cragers on it and fixed some issues and sold it! The other car had perfect rocker mouldings without big screw holes in them! Then there was 2 more cutlasses with other mouldings and little parts that were wrong on my car! and so it went until I bought a whole car for the front license bracket I took the cars one at a time and sold the parts off of them and I did very wall selling them on line! and my car looked almost new with every part on it right until the substandard work started coming out! I sold those extra parts in every state in the union! Canada ,Mexico Sweden the UK and in Turkey! I now own an Ebay store and I'm a top seller and I still have all of the parts I could need for my cars they come in so fast! And I learned most of these old cars are worth ten times the amount in pieces than if you just sell the whole car!
I enjoy watching your channel. Skills like yours can only be admired. - Maybe you should replace the other side half shaft as it is my experience that when one breaks, the other will shortly follow. The next time it may not break at a convenient time or place.
That was cool. I have never seen the inside of one of those axles. Interesting! You have to be one of the hardest working guys on utube. Thanks for your effort.
I can smell the gear oil from here!! Good think you have spare parts and don't throw anything out - never know when you may need it, and can get her back on the road again quickly! PBR for the win after that job! They would of tasted good! Take care Brent !! Always enjoyable videos !!
Great job Brent ! Love your channel ! I can’t understand why you don’t have 10x as many subs as you do but that’s ok ! I like watching guys who aren’t rich and famous ! (yet anyway ) LOL
Yup you sure did leave a sizeable chunk of axel out there on the street. Good job you have a sizeable parts department as well lol. Great video though 👍
At 7:20 kids pay attention to the lost art of safety wiring head bolts! Done mainly to keep big piece's from becoming small busted piece's Before the Advent of thread locker and in some areas Indoor plumbing this was a very common and useful practice... Like I said.. pay close attention.. There will be a quiz on this material....
I like the way you built your car that's the way I seen them look in my uncle's picture book's that must have been taken late 40's early 50's, my Auntie has a picture of my Pop's and my uncle in his first car either a 35 or 1936 Chevy coupe wish I would have got a copie of it before she past away my cousin inhireted all the pictures and he wants to be stingy in the picture's all I want to do is make copies of a few picture's..
If no one has mentioned it yet, buy some banjo rear brake drum retainers. They'll stop your wheel coming off on the highway during axle failure, they will save your life!
Might want to be careful with the Ford powah cause it will get away from you really fast or it could snap an axle without even trying 🤣 cool car and cant wait to see ya on your next adventure
That looked damn easy! No setting backlash or shim spacing, checking the gear mesh, etc!? I never seen this type come apart, was about to holler for you to look up a video to see how it comes apart first! Were the ring gears the same set too or was there potential to change gearing or best to just stick this one back anyway?
Hey man, now nobody can tell you that you don't need all that stuff laying around 🤑👍,seeing how you almost mentioned it, can I ask what your day job is. I'm just curious 🤔, I have been a Carpenter for Walt Disney World, Florida, for over 30 years now 😳💪,anyhow you do awesome work 👏 and I enjoy how you go about getting stuff done ✔ 😀 👍 FINS UP 👍 Have a great day be safe and have fun 👍 😀 😊 your Florida connection 🏝👋
I work 3rd shift 11pm to 7am no guest at night, but they were hoping to let 30percent into the parks but I don't think they have gotten too that point. They are saying it will be 5 years before we get back to normal. Hopefully soon we'll be back running around like normal.
08:24 I was taught and do even this today, never lube a tapered shaft. You want both tapered surfaces clean and dry. The taper is the thing that locks to two parts together. Do PBR's still come with aspirin taped to the side of the can ? Lol.
True about the tapered fit. And you want FULL contact on the taper so I like to use valve lapping compound between the hub and axle taper. Rock it back and forth applying a little more compound each time until both surfaces show full contact. Then flush out all compound and your ready to rock!
Finding stuff you need in the stash is always helpful
yeah man and I still have a spare if I need haha
I'm actually glad that you went through this... just kinda lost art form , I am happy that it went all back together well and you were able to drive her out. Good Job Man!!
I'm not haha but it is done and glad it happened the way it did and not on the hyway
I'm glad you are safe, and it's good that you have the vehicle to get to work
Man thank God you weren't hurt and there wasn't an accident absolutely love the channel God bless
yeah, I'm happy I was at a stop and making a left turn when it decided to no work anymore.
Glad you got it up and running again.
That's why we hoard old junk! It comes in handy!!! Easy fix, I like those!

Awesome Broken Junk, cool I never knew how that rear end came apart, awesome daily driver.
Great content man. Why I'm here. Love the rear spring layout on her. Fix, drive, break, repeat. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your adventures
Brent, really enjoy your channel and look forward to new posts when they come. Thank you for your incredible work ethic, just get in and get it done.
Thanks for brings us all along for the repair! Those spares are worth their weight in gold when you need them
we use to cut those axle housing and use them for jack stands, now you know how old i am
I still have a set of those. First handstands I bought
I have a pair my grandfather made and a pair I made also. You gotta have a tall jack to use them.
I have a 1930 that I'm putting together model A roadster check it out solo handyman thanks
@@robertchatters5610 so you know what i'm talking about
@@rustyachers2459 hang on to them there won't be anymore now that they building old school hot rods
Good job on getting it back on the road - Pablo wanted to go for a cruise
Nice job. Good thing you had the parts on hand

Amen for the plus side 👍Thanks for sharing
Can't wait to get a lift makes things sooo much easier
Good thing you had a supervisor keeping your lift steady or the job may had been tougher to do. 👍
haha
Amazing spares department! Thanks for the Friday evening video, wicked little hot rod that one 🤗
haha evening for you afternoon for me :)
That 31 cool looking car never throw anything away.
Another great video keep up the amazing work take care and stay safe and stay blessed see you in the next one
Nice fix thats sure a cool old ride man 👍
All ways wanted to see how they come apart. Thanks!!
Glad you had a spare, and people say all that stuff is junk. Until you need a piece, a ?
you know it haha
It always helps to have a professional watcher/ kibitzer along for the ride.
Those hole shots love those axels.
Patch er up, make er go! That's my motto. Good job 👍
Another fine job Brent!
I really like this roadster. Old school like me. I’m sure it’s fun to drive
Your my type of mechanic, we share the same beer right after a long day of knuckle busting. P.B.R!!🍺
That was good thing about them old bangers easy to fix.
Its that Ford power that got it. That's why Ford had to make strong rearends to hold up to the power that Ford produces 😁👌🏼💪😂
Such a rad car. I love the post ww2 hot rod look.
That was cool. I have never seen the inside of one of those axles. Interesting! You have to be one of the hardest working guys on utube. Thanks for your effort.
haha neither have I to that level
On the road again 🎶
Like the special effects..
With you working in the ray of light..
Lol
Pablo says you ain't going anywhere without me.
Man i love that car so many have the front axle way out there i like um in stock location. Shes a cool baby doll! Smeasy fix. peace
thanks man, yeah I'm not a fan of that axle way out in the front.
Its a worry when the rear wheel passes you on the road. LOL.
At least no one was hurt and you are ok.
haha yeah I was lucky I was just doing a turn from a stop sign when it decided to break.
Hey, I see you're up over 10k subscribers!
Good to see - love your work.
Thanks man.

haha no idea it's in the hands of youtube
Yup you sure did leave a sizeable chunk of axel out there on the street. Good job you have a sizeable parts department as well lol. Great video though 👍
That is a great old roadster I can see that you love her too.
Another fine ride, love your stuff!!!
Hot Rods and PBR !!!!!
Nice fix! Tearing into a rear axle like that would scare me.
That sure is a nice old Roadster, would love to own a car like that for a daily driver ;-)

Nicely done 👍

Although it sucks your car broke,but it did yield us a new video :)
En un rato lo cambiaste halfasss , lo bueno de tener otro diferencial para desarmar , muy buen laburo!!!!!
Good thing you had another axle. Well have fun. 😎

looked like a 3 beer project to me...lol
when i was a kid i always hated when the wheels fell off my toys
That was cool to see 👍👍🇨🇱
I didn't see you set the back lash after tearing it apart good way to take out the bearings and ring and pinion
the way you like to have fun with your cars you better scare some more stock of those.I have a feeling your going to need them
Times were a bit simpler back then. What up Pablo?
i would love to have one of those cars
Awesome fix, anymore cans on the back deck and you might be broken tomorrow ;o)
haha if only my yard was paved would it be a great time around here haha
You need to take it easy on those bends, early twentieth century technology.
Nice easy repair. For you.
Nice. #STAYSAFE.
Awesome
If no one has mentioned it yet, buy some banjo rear brake drum retainers. They'll stop your wheel coming off on the highway during axle failure, they will save your life!
Thanks! just looked at them look easy to make and will be making a set
@@HalfassKustoms Good man, no brainer, like C clip retainer elminators
Cool videos and cars .I watch from . Cape breton. nova Scotia .
Might want to be careful with the Ford powah cause it will get away from you really fast or it could snap an axle without even trying 🤣 cool car and cant wait to see ya on your next adventure
Brent, I hope you don’t play music if you are working by the hour because when you turn on the music you speed way up! lol.
You should see what happens when he plays some Slayer!
Not even a "6 pak" job Just 3 beer job!!!
PBR's always helps 🍺🍺🍺
If you use all that Flathead power to smoke the hydes you can’t complain when 90 year old parts cry “enough!”
haha I'll keep going with she was already broken before
I wouldn't think ole Henry would have made it to difficult, lol
Sweet ride
Great job!
Talent with a capital "T". Oh and a capital "L" for lucky you had a spare. LOL.
Wondering if pinion backlash and everything was still okay? Good stuff!
What's your day job Brent? Love ya work Mate.... Billy J... OZ Land.
Computer tech by day
That looked damn easy! No setting backlash or shim spacing, checking the gear mesh, etc!? I never seen this type come apart, was about to holler for you to look up a video to see how it comes apart first!

That's i bummer, USED TO SNAP axle's all the time in my Holden Powered Morris Minor..
Only a 3 beer repair? Good to have a backup parts inventory. You got any 440 Mopars for the Dan ?
haha no only dodge thing I have is in my chop top
I’m investing in the same parts store you use, just can’t convince my wife to buy stock in the company!
haha I have a big yard
It happens
Just curious what you do for a day job? Car stuff or something completely different?
Completely different work on computers/telephones by day
PBR oh yea
Did you put oil in there? I learned the hard way.
Haha yeah she's full :)
That’s what happens when you go spinning donuts on a gravel road.😭🤪🇺🇸🛠
Hey man, now nobody can tell you that you don't need all that stuff laying around 🤑👍,seeing how you almost mentioned it, can I ask what your day job is.

That was a three beer fix lol
Turning a curve then ping or maybe...........😉
What transmission are you running behind the flathead?
think it's a 36-"7-8" 3 speed haha not sure the year really
@@HalfassKustoms Right on man...that's a nice hot rod you got!
i drove home from work last nigh with a flat. somehow rear tire picked up a 6" pole barn nail

A 3-PBR repair. Yep, easy. LOL
