Seeing you belting that chisel brings back memories of a swelled hand Chris oow that hurt 😢😢🙈👍👍
Sorry about that premier thing I must of pressed the wrong button 🤦♂️🤷♂️ have a good weekend you lot look after each other out there 👍
Hello Chris, i’m a truck mechanic apprentice in Norway and you hane no idea how helpful your videos are mate. Keep the great videos coming👍🏼
Aup Rangotango thank you mate that is the best compliment anyone can give pal 😊 glad I can help you out a bit mate and ease the struggle a little 😆👍 have a good weekend pal
There isn't a video I watch that i don't have a little Giggle not only puts a smiles on me face but I learnt feck loads and so many little tricks that gets you out the shit , brilliant channel Much love from Dorset !!
When whacking a spanner or allen key, flick a rag over it, hold the rag tight when you whack it to avoid all the twang. Holding it tight also takes the initial spring out of the blow so you get a firm hit and not just springing back. Works a treat for me and you're never 2ft from a rag
Worked out the back of a van for 20 years.saf were a nightmare. Invested in die nuts.r/h and l/h.made life easier. Great information in your video.andy.
Cheers for taking us along on the struggle. Those trailers are a can of worms.
I don’t mind sharing a struggle or two diesel 😆 everything I seem to touch has worms in it mate 😂👍
Now then chris, a tip iv found to get a super single of when its proper fast on, smack it on the edge of the tread / side wall instead of the middle of the tyre face, give it a go, keep em comeing brilliant stuff
Chris knowles
To pull them hubs, get an old rim turn in backwards put it on the hub with 4 wheel nuts ,weld a plate across the middle and jack between it and the hub with a small jack or port a power ,
Hi Chris, loving your channel, came across it when my husband was watching you and kept laughing. He is also a hgv mechanic, so not only are you keeping us both laughing with your video's but I am also learning about what he does. Now when he talks about his day at work I have a bit of an idea, and don't just nod along Keep up the good work and hope the twigs are still going strong xx
Thank you Nicky, see we don’t just drink tea and talk all day 😂
Still not sure about that one 🤣
As somebody already mentioned…silicone is to prevent threads on stub rusting,you can replace the bearings without the need to change the hub, bit of a fiddle but doable ,sometimes you can get tight hubs off by hitting the back of the disc with your sledgehammer,and you can buy an m24 flogging spanner for the calliper bolts(makes the struggle bit easier,)also the saf hubs never run as freely as traditional wheel bearings always have resistance..n finally the old hub bolts don’t always just screw out…sometimes you have weld nuts on em and air gun em out.
I worked for a tanker hire firm and we literally had hundreds o the feckers…all the best from a retired struggler
Hi Chris, happy birthday to your child I hope you had a good party day.
I was a professional struggler Like you for 20 years in the HGV industry( my body aches just watching you , I remember the pain !!! )before selling my soul to a easier life working in a factory ( I sold my life for money and the big pay cheque ) looking back I enjoyed struggling and what it taught me was priceless , it set me up in life !!! Thank the lord for professional struggling 👍.
Yours videos are so educational , if you ever get sick of professional struggling you need to become a collage lecturer in the motor vehicle department , to teach up and coming professional struggling. I am not taking the piss mate , I’ve been there worn the T shirt and have all the scares to prove it .
You are a talented person , who people can connect to .( like us all a professional struggler )
Thanks for sharing your life with us .
Take care mate 👍
Thank you Benno! When you stop I suppose that’s when all the aches and pains come, it does get in-printed on your memory if you have a good struggle when doing something then next time you remember what to do! Thank you for your nice comment Benno if I can help someone with what I do on here or save them a bit of time it’s worth it mate! I’d be no good in a classroom pal I’d bring an axle in the room 😂👍
@@Professional-struggler yeah I stoped struggling then I started feeling old 🤣🤣🤣 may be a lesson to be learned there Chris , just keep on struggling 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing your daily routine with us Chris It brings aback some great memories and some aches and pains 🤣🤣
Take care mate Till the next one👍
You’d be great in a classroom , trust me 👍
@@bennoben1653 dame it I’m going to have to struggle forever 🤣, glad you enjoy it Benno, it’s nice to look back on the past 😊, I don’t mind video myself it’s like talking to a mate at the side of me, keeps me company.
@@Professional-struggler take care Chris , till the next one 👍
Yeah, that’s the first time I ever seen anybody use an impact wrench to takeoff a wheel bearing nut on a semi
Top job Chris I had a professional struggling moment on a 9 ton Volvo excavator today fuel full of water operator didn’t realise water trap light was even on dash. Took first stage filter off and water pissed out for too long. In end had to drain tank completely and change both filters. More water than fuel on board miracle it was even running changed filters new fuel all is well again. Didn’t have professional tool to drain the tank had to struggle by using a bent screwdriver to hold the fuel dump valve in bent one in the oxy acetylene just for the job the struggle is real. Keep up good videos I love your positivity and I’ve bent and cut many spanner’s and made tools to struggle out of a struggle beats buying the right tool also makes me feel rather smug to av not bought specialist tool for extreme pound notes to use maybe twice 🤔 keep it up 👍
Brilliant video thank you
Great video Chris. The film the Gentlemen is bloody brilliant mate.
Yeah it is 🏍 watching it properly tonight with the kids, told our Arch about the rap fight scene.... he likes his rap have a good weekend 🏍👍
Похоже, что все слесари одинаково SAF ремонтируют. Я так же всё делаю. Привет из России.
came across your channel one night and havent stopped laughing since. You deserve everything you have coming to you mate, professional entertainer as well as mechanic! Keep up the good work mate, youre a top bloke!
Another great video from the happiest struggler 🤣😂.
That wheel bearing must have deafened many a car driver. You've probably noticed, the nearside spindle (offside in wrong side of the road countries), has a circular groove on the end face, this denotes left-hand thread, used to ensure the correct handed spindle is loaded in the friction welder automation.
Great work, done well Chris 👏
Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant Struggle Chris !👍👍👍👍
Happy birthday to your little lass mate and hope you enjoyed those beers haha 😄
Thanks Stem mate, she had a good one, beers went down well to pal 🍻😁
I am sure you could knock up a tool to pull hub off ...... its those fine threads the die nut to dress them up is crazy money
Aup Mondo! I did try once to make one but it just bent! My mate has got a thread cleaner tool with different threads on each face that I’ve lent a few times..... got me out of trouble. Have a weekend mate
Always great content hard-working genuine fella kind regards John.
Thank you very much again John, you a true gent 👍
Honestly these videos are Golden, I’m a trailer fitter in Immingham, 11 years long years I’ve struggled for!!! you’ve forgot more than I know!!! I’m mobile fitter mainly on fleet inspections (or as my Forman says SPOILT) but occasionally in the workshop when they have a shit job no one wants to touch haha I’m always open to learn about things that will help me out in the future everyday is a school day, cheers Chris keep up the good content
I'm not an hgv mechanic but a mechanic of 40yrs and if I wasn't struggling everyday it would be a struggle to keep struggling on...because I fecking love it....there's some proper funny people in the motor trade.....keep struggling mate your doing alright 👍 😁😁
I’m think the same mate, be boring if every day was easy pal, can’t beat a good old struggle to get the brain working 😁 have a good weekend buddy.
There is the occasional benefit to always working on the floor and not over a pit. When a hub sticks I put the wheel back on with two nuts , lie underneath and kick the thing off.
Chris absolutely class ! The struggle is real but you make it look easy my boy ! Keep them belters coming mate helpful an seriously entertaining bloody good show Chris ! Keep it up my lad ! Brothers of struggle and brothers of the spanner’s from here in London love it mate 🤙🏼
Hallo just found your channel a few days ago i am professionel heavy equipment strugler myself 👍 i realy enjoy your Videos keep on the good work 👍
Interesting the way you split the nut. Will bare that in mind. Don't struggle opening the cans mate. Congrats on 8k
Struggle on pal....top video really enjoyed it🤣🤣🤣
I had to explain to one of our apprentices yesterday what a professional struggler was, just at the point he got a 1/4 full fuel tank wedged between the fuel tank bracket, and side rail bracket trying to slide the tank across, under, and then out from the truck! The whole job would have been so simple if the side rails would come off as they should, but they wouldn’t without cutting all the mounting bolts, and that wasn’t an good option for the time given. Instead we went with unbolt the tank bracket, swing it across, then put in maximum effort, and struggle like fuck crawling round on the floor! 😆 Love watching all your videos down here in Exeter, can’t wait for the professional struggler merch!
🤣😂 the definition of a struggler Lewis, sit there scratching his head thinking why.. just why 😂made me laugh mate...
Hi Chris, cracking videos. I feel your struggle, I've just been doing a harmonic balancer on my old banger. I'm an HGV and trailer designer and will keep you in mind next time I design a trailer. Keep struggling on!
Aup Oliver! That’s interesting mate truck and trailer designer 👍 don’t put them silly multi-splined heads on discs or exhausts mate there a nightmare to remove after a few years 🤣 as you can probably see, thanks for watching mate and the comment! Bet you’re job can be a struggle 😂
This is worthy of a million views..
Keep the videos coming
Cheers for letting me know about that sound again bangerross....... I willl get the hang of it at some point 😂 doh doh doh 😩
Great video again Chris. Have a great weekend.
You to Declan, enjoy the weekend mate, thanks for watching dude 👍
Cheers Chris for making me crack up every night and have to say you're like an old time mechanic doesn't winge fair play mate
Brian Dublin
Hi Mate . Greetings from South Africa. Your videos are really resourceful. Anyways what advice do you have is the fine threads are damaged on the on an SAF Holland Intra Suspension stub end? Axle nut keeps seizing up when wheel bearings fail.
Happy new year Chris and your family 🎉
Happy new year Chris mate 👍👍
Well couldn't afford that puller so I got an old truck wheel cut the middle out welded a frame on it
Use a small bottle jack between stub & frame never let me down
Aup Robert was wondering if you was ok mate, sorry if you’ve commented before I can’t get through them all 😅 I do try. That’s a cracking-idea mate with the wheel rim! Never even thought of doing that. Have a good weekend mate 🍻👍
@@Professional-struggler sorry mate been very ill with covid
Hope to go back monday
Hi Chris can you explain something, when you are working in a workshop why doesn't the workshop have a mechanic? why do they bring you in as a mobile mechanic? Sorry, I'm not a mechanic or in the industry but enjoy watching your content!
It’s a fair question mate, they call me in when there busy or got lads on holidays, ill ect I like the workshop work mate especially when it’s cold, thanks for the comment David and cheers for watching pal 👍

Don’t know what the hell I did there Ricky...... I was struggling mate 😂
Cheers Chris your videos make me smile keep on struggling mate
Hi Chris question 1 -why the hell is it so hard to find manuals for anything these days ?
Question-2 if you change the bearings in the existing hub on a saf (which ims do a video on ) I wonder how you get the preload right ?
Nice to hear the Juggler I suggested. Great content as usual 👏
I did look back on my comments to try and find who said that Phil, it’s good mate that, well done pal the struggler and the juggler 😄 that’s spot on Mate 👍
Gentleman ,great film ,love the videos mate keep up the good work
Hello Chris me and my mate doing a porch extension the last 4 days but ive been struggling today told me mate where professional strugglers.
😂🤣 that’s right mate we all are! Rang my mate today he was fitting doors to a house that needed to be done today...... he said the same thing mate professional strugglers. Up to the strugglers pal 💪
@@Professional-struggler thanks for reply Chris keep on struggling mate
Brilliant video Chris well done mate 👍
Keep it up as ever !
Love watching you’re videos 👍👍
Another fantastic video bud well done what's the oldest tool you still use. 🍺👍😀
Silicone must be to try and prevent the water getting in about the threads as you probably know how bad SAF nuts are for seizing onto the axle threads
Ah that’s why I never thought of that! It’s a good idea then because them threads are really fine 👍 might have to start siliconeing the ends now I know that 👍 thanks Cal for the info mate, have a good weekend mate.
@@Professional-struggler yeah there cunting fine mate, tidy drill holes there BTW well in lad 👍, you too pal have a good one 🤝
How’s the merch coming on ? Another great classic.
The jugglers on it I hope Michael, I want some to mate can’t wait 😆
