This beautiful lady is the only reason I watch you tube..I'm a retired heavy equipment operator that knows how important good drivers are needed..God bless her and her loving family.
It's awesome that you're wanting to learn how to fix your truck, between you and him it'll save you thousands every year. Just a thought, every time I do wheel seals on any of my trucks I always get a stop box kit. It comes with new brakes, rollers, bushings, and springs and is only around $45 for everything. Once brakes get oil on them they're done, you will never get all the oil out of them no matter how much you clean them and depending on the DOT officer they can ticket you or shut you down. Another thing to look at is the single locking nut I think they call it a torque nut. Every time I tear a hub down I install them they're so much better and are around $60. It's nice to see you filled the hub, had a mechanic forget and made it 3 miles before the hub burned up and tires passed the truck it wrecked the hub, spindle and everything on my front drive axle. Can't wait to see you have it working! I'm sure you're excited and can't wait too.
Very cool that you want to know more then just driving. It always better to know what makes something tick. Its neat that your husband will take the time to teach you and step back and let you get your hands in there to learn. The fact that you two are both doing it together is what builds great relationships. NICE
This beautiful woman is very fortunate to have a skilled mechanic as a husband. It takes a good team to make it all happen and make money..good for them.
I'm old school, I remember Budd stud pilot wheels. Take off all 10 nuts on the outer wheel, now you have 10 more on the inner wheel. It was extra fun when the outer nut seized to the inner nut. When changing axle seals or doing brakes we slid the hub and drum off with the duals still mounted. Saved 80 fasteners on a tandem axle.
Wow, I’m I’m impressed! You handled that 1” impact wrench like a pro! Not laughing at all. You know what you’re doing. Now, get that truck out making money!
I think it's awesome you are learning. I started driving in 1989 and drove for several years. Got out and went to school because I couldn't make a living even though I loved driving. Bought a 1990 Peterbilt 4,000 gallon water tender in 2004 which I still own and I don't know how to do this work. I don't get to drive it much, I hire a driver for the seasonal work and still do what I went to school for even though it sucks and I love driving more. I have the shop but not the heavy duty tools or knowledge. Awesome looking truck by the way!
Great job Dauminique, glad to see you interested in learning how its done and getting familiarized with the mechanicals of your truck. Your husband's a great teacher too! I didn't hear a single cuss word! lol
Wow - this take me back about 30yrs ago when I was working on the mines when replacing wheel bearings, seals etc. on these underground scoop-trams. Working in confined spaces with these pneumatic impact hammers was just so amazing. Just a safety tip. (Well on the mines we would never got away without practising safety first). Always put a Jack-stand or a fixed safety stand under your wheel axel casing. We even made our own safety stands from I-beam iron and paint it with black and yellow stripes. You then just stack either industrial rubber blocks or wooden planks on the I-beam stands for the desired height. Getting the tires back in place it's much easier to use what we called a pinch- or small crowbar. You just manoeuvre the bar at the side of the tyre and pivot-lift it in the centre from the floor and there you have it in place. Thanx again for sharing such a good video clip with us. 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🇿🇦🇿🇦
Great video, glad to see you "getting to know your truck", my only advise is don't wear anything that you don't want grease or oil on when working on your truck! Stay Safe and Happy Motoring!!
A great little video of you learning how to do this and that on your truck, you live and you learn and if you don't get right the first time, try it again and learn from your mistake . So see you later and be careful and stay safe and keep on trucking . As always, Jeffrey !!!
Apsolutly harmony between both of you ,well done . I truly believe that it's a team effort to being an owner operated family , husband and wife team what better way . Great video,
Something that saves a lot of time is a wheel jack that pulls both tires off at once..All you need to do is pull the axle and bearings change seal and replace..The hub and tires all stay together...)))))...

I always pack the bearing even though they are self liberated. Have see lots of people ruin axles by not doing it. Love watching your videos and it’s great to see how well you two work together. Be safe!!
Awesome job, really cool you helped your husband and didnt just stand there asking when it would be done...lol... I owned a trucking company for 35 years and have changed 100's of wheel seals.. Not a fun job but has to be done. If you guys ever need any fabrication work done look me up, after I sold my trucking company I kept my shop and can do most any fabrication/repairs. I've built 53' lowboys from scratch. Have a full machine and fabrication shop, cnc's and cnc plasma table. I'm up in Marysville and just a one man shop so I can usually get things in quickly if needed. Keep up the good work!
I have always been a "Prevent an ACCIDENT!" kind of person. I saw you wearing hearing protection which was GREAT. I would like for you both to wear a back brace (especially Bobby as he is bending over, lifting tires off, sitting down, lifting them back on with his legs {maybe a wheel dolly?}, and pushing them on), safety glasses (I know you hate them LOL), steel toe boots, and good gloves (which you had on). I have seen BIG BEAR sized men barely walk after hurting their back. Yes I do wear all of these things and had my kids doing it while mowing the grass. BTW- besides doing and helping, it is great to see how well you and Bobby get along as I tell my wife- "Marriage is a Business".
Thanks! I told him that I could probably do it alone next time and he said thats not why I'm teaching you. I'm teaching you so that we can do it together. I'm really lucky to have someone like him in my life.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver you are very fortunate to have a great teacher and husband to be able to teach you how to do that plus you don't need to be doing that alone those wheels are heavy see you later young lady 💐 be safe out there 😎
Check with your parts supply about a seal driver. Our supply house will often give out a free driver when you buy seals. You’ll be less likely to damage the seal installing it and you can keep it for the next one you do. Also, as others have said just replace the shoes, they usually don’t clean up well. When you remove or install the tires I’d use a bar to lift and rotate them. You don’t want to tweak your back.
That's an skf plus xl seal. No seal driver required, they don't even give a driver number on the box. You're supposed to be able to push them in by hand, because they are supposed to have a light coating of oil on the outside diameter before installation.
you always learn something new everyday,watch these new drivers do p-trips they don't look under their trucks or look at the back of the brake's.you caught it early enough you didn't have to replace the brakes.welcome to being a o/o things like that will keep you going down the road instead of sitting at the scales waiting for road service and looking at the ticket wondering how much the service call is going to cost
It’s not just new ones that do that. Walking through the yard a few months ago I told the new kid he had an air leak and he didn’t believe me. I told him to shut it down and walked him to the back of the trailer. Bam, air leak. In his defense it wasn’t leaking when the air wasn’t applied.
I have done that job plenty of times. It is almost exactly the same as my truck, but luckily mine is a pickup and I converted the rear to disc brakes many years ago. The drums/discs are attached to the hub with the wheel studs, so the disc setup seems a little lighter. It only took 1 time of pinching my fingers behind the axle flange, as it slid back in, to learn to keep my fingers away. The 14BFF has bolts instead of studs to hold the axles in. The fill hole for the gear oil was a new one for me. That is tough/heavy work. Pickup size parts are heavy enough for me, especially now with body issues. It is great that you are learning what goes into the repairs. Even if you have your husband or a shop do them later, at least you understand the process, how the parts work or may fail later and it isn't as easy for someone to BS you or give you bad advice/wrong parts, etc. when the topic comes up again.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver Perfect plan, it can be much easier with a second set of hands and even if they aren't as strong or experienced, it can still go much better with two people.
Cool video for sure. My brother owned a trucking company when I was growing up. When I got into Jr high and high school he started paying me to help work on his equipment. You'll be doing enough wheel seals and brakes you will be able to do them in your sleep before long. I would definitely suggest getting a wheel dolley...will save your knees and back
Very lucky to have a diesel mechanic husband or you'd be getting very discouraged by the robbery every time you needed a repair. It's nice that you're right there with him getting dirty. 😎👍
Another great video. My grandfather was a trucker and I love to see the various jobs truckers can do. Only suggestion I have is to try and get the best viewing angle. The first part of the video was full of backsides and butts:). Maybe a magnetic mount to the bottom of the frame? Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping this nation moving.
You guys do great work together! Wasn't sure about the brake shoes getting oil on them, but apparently they're toast if you do. Also didn't realize about the Axle vent. A blocked vent could cause pressure build-up in the diff which could force oil past the seal. Isn't it fun to put your hands on one of those big machines and know that you fixed it yourself! 👍
Hey great to see you learning how to do that stuff, as someone else commented over time that will save you $$$$$$. I think it's about a year since I started following you and it's been obvious to me that you have the talent and skills to do anything that you commit yourself to. I wish you all the best for your work this year.
You answered my question about doing your own work on your truck. Way to dig in! I encourage my 13 year old daughter to do similar things! She's very knowledgeable about many things for her age.
Glad to see you learning truck repairs. Look up RP618a axle bearing adjustment procedure. I never had someone show me the proper way to do it. I don't think that outer nut is near tight enough.
Maybe the bearings are set right maybe not. An experienced guy can get a real world result exactly the same as the tech spec. Makes more difference if you're putting new bearings in as opposed to reusing old ones.
Love the sweatshirt, that's the keys to becoming a successful entrepreneur by learning your equipment and problem solving, very educational video and please keep them coming. BTW you guy's have a awesome shop too👍.
Jobs like these are never fun but it's always satisfying when it's finished and done right vs. paying someone who might cut corners......Happy New Year
A+!!! Been doing that for over 30 years. I usually take my fill plug out before reistall, but all good. Nothing better then when that last spline lines up and falls in home!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 And yeah D, that 1" gun aint lite! 😂🤣😂🤣 Music wasn't great but the vid and vid quality was on point! Thanks guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
It's always good to know if you go in the shop or if you don't have time to do it yourself at least you know if they're doing it right and you'd have a peace of mind you know brakes and and stuff like that that's awesome
Hi two things about your wheel seal job. If there is oil on the brake linings it cant be wiped off as it will soak into the linings and could cause the truck brakes to be poor under load. and second, under heavy braking the oil could catch fire and cause a wheel fire which would not be good as it would set the tires on fire.
It's really nice to see you're wanting to learn how to fix your truck I've been a heavy duty mechanic for probably 35 years now and those brake shoes and that brake drum should've been replaced here in Alberta something like that would probably get you a nice fine if they found out because that's gonna smoke and stink but really I'm very proud that you want to learn. All the best in 2022!
I knew several big truck shops that never owned a wheel dolly, they used a grease plate. I only worked in small shops, we used a grease plate. Works well in a pinch.
@@oldrustycars LOL! My boss was too cheap to buy a wheel dolly! Oiled up plate of aluminum! EVERY time! For decades! Sometimes t'was a pain, especially when the brake drum was a gettin' that ridge it gets where the shoes don't ride. Kudos to yer 'ol man! Takin' them tires off and on without any means of leverage! These "tricks" (you'll discover) are born of necessity, and ease of repetition. Especially with as many axles as y'all are eventually gonna hafta service.
You did a really good job I like to see families working together
This beautiful lady is the only reason I watch you tube..I'm a retired heavy equipment operator that knows how important good drivers are needed..God bless her and her loving family.

It doesn't apply to rear axles as the bearings get oil from the pumpkin where as front axles have their own supply.
@@johnhoffman8203 run a new bearing without filling the hub or jacking the opposite side up for a bit and see if it applies to the rear axle or not 🤣
@@johnhoffman8203 that was a rear axle that happened to. It was the front passenger side drive axle to be exact.
@@FixinCat you are very correct.
You have to pack grease in a particular way

Thanks!
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver I have a CDL and if you ever get another truck I would be happy to drive for you
Awesome job.........you did better than 95% of dudes I've seen trying to replace seals or brake shoes.
Haha well I had help. If I had been on my own it probably would have been out of control.
This beautiful woman is very fortunate to have a skilled mechanic as a husband. It takes a good team to make it all happen and make money..good for them.
Before outboard assembly’s we would slide tires and all on a sheet of metal greased up worked like a charm

Very cool watching you guys at work on your truck🤙💯. Thanks for sharing...
Jobs like these are never fun but it's always satisfying when it's finished and done right vs. paying someone who might cut corners......Happy New Year
It wasn’t so bad. It was done pretty quickly.
Good video I am glad that you had the patience to do it about my luck I would either lose a part or get mad and throw something
haha it wasn’t that difficult. very few parts actually.
A+!!! Been doing that for over 30 years. I usually take my fill plug out before reistall, but all good. Nothing better then when that last spline lines up and falls in home!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 And yeah D, that 1" gun aint lite! 😂🤣😂🤣 Music wasn't great but the vid and vid quality was on point! Thanks guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

It's always good to know if you go in the shop or if you don't have time to do it yourself at least you know if they're doing it right and you'd have a peace of mind you know brakes and and stuff like that that's awesome
I like what your doing here with truck
Awesome Job 👏
Thank you for the video , glad you got the wheel seal replaced , stay safe .
Thanks 👍
Hi two things about your wheel seal job. If there is oil on the brake linings it cant be wiped off as it will soak into the linings and could cause the truck brakes to be poor under load. and second, under heavy braking the oil could catch fire and cause a wheel fire which would not be good as it would set the tires on fire.
Great job you two!!! That truck is gorgeous!!!
That was cool. Thanks Dauminique!
Thank you
Great job, videos like this are awsome
Thanks!
Wow, nothing seems to be too difficult for you. Nice going.
Hey as long as you try and learn thats whats important.
It's really nice to see you're wanting to learn how to fix your truck I've been a heavy duty mechanic for probably 35 years now and those brake shoes and that brake drum should've been replaced here in Alberta something like that would probably get you a nice fine if they found out because that's gonna smoke and stink but really I'm very proud that you want to learn. All the best in 2022!
Great job keep up the hard work
Cool dump trucks when you change your tires and are the they heavy and stay safe and I enjoy your channel from Rensselaer Indiana

You got this. Nothing to it. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Thanks!
Magic words; "I backed my truck into our shop." No working outside, very nice, especially this week with the snow outside.
Yeah buying a house wish a shop that could if a truck was a great investment.
You guys need to get a wheel trolley it would make it a lot easier on your back when you get older
I knew several big truck shops that never owned a wheel dolly, they used a grease plate. I only worked in small shops, we used a grease plate. Works well in a pinch.
@@oldrustycars LOL! My boss was too cheap to buy a wheel dolly! Oiled up plate of aluminum! EVERY time! For decades! Sometimes t'was a pain, especially when the brake drum was a gettin' that ridge it gets where the shoes don't ride. Kudos to yer 'ol man! Takin' them tires off and on without any means of leverage! These "tricks" (you'll discover) are born of necessity, and ease of repetition. Especially with as many axles as y'all are eventually gonna hafta service.
Great job to you both….
