My husband, many years back, was a machinist mechanic and you helped me to see what he did when he was at work. He died 20 years ago at work and I like to think he was watching as I was watching, in spirit! Thankyou!
I had given it a thumbs up
Guys i'm from EU.This is impressive.!!!
I do this all the time in south America, although a little bit different. Y'all gave me good tips here. Cheers.
Thank you for the video
I learned a lot and this reduces my stress and anxiety
Judging by the racing slick on the other axle I got a feeling that truck needs a few things
Great work my only question is how do you get the boss aligned true to the brake mounting flange when it's a loose fit in the axle tube
I am waiting to hear the answer to your question also. I also wonder about oil getting to the bearings as the new spindle is thicker than the old one making quite a step for the oil climb
@@holmes1956O гамна налепили этот не работа а фуфляк
Всё это делается гораздо проще наваривается на резьбу точится и нарезается новая резьба, у них соосности не будет.
@@holmes1956O Are the axles filled with oil or are the bearings greased with zerks like a household trailer axle?
@@randallsmerna384 the wheel bearings get their oil from the differential. It travels out to them from the center of the rear axle.
Good job
Nice work, thanks for sharing. - take care
I understand how important a service like this is! Field service like this saves a lot of headaches!
But like other commenters, I want more information. The idea of aligning the brake flange to the spindle is pretty important. Would love to see how that’s done. I’m guessing there’s some kind of alignment tool that would bolt to that brake flange before tacking up the parts.
I will tell you first hand , John's work is outstanding , I had one of our drivers burn up the wheel bearings on one of our furniture trailers ( Kentucky ) , by the time I could get a axle from Kentucky Trailer , have it shipped ,find a shop to install it , in our busy season was a real hardship , I contacted John he came down to our yard in Tampa , and just guessing , he cut that axle stub out and put the new one in his all welded looking at it you would never know it was replaced , NOW , I was still in I must say doubtful that the stub was in far enough or to far in , so I put my new shoes on , now the moment of truth , I installed the drum and I was amazed the shoes were inside the drum by roughly 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch , if I ever need this service again there is no doubt , I will be calling on John Frank T Tampa Fl
This is brilliant. When you were using the cutting torch, what was stopping all the hot metal from being blown in to the crown wheel and pinion?
Sperm
An axle as opppsed to a diff does not have a crown wheel and a pinion.
Excellent engineering and implementation.
When I sold my truck, ‘07 W 900 it had 1,128,000 miles on the original kingpins and bushings. Take care of your equipment and it’ll take care of you
This is top notch job!
I have this type job done in my trailer here in MA, even can’t compare whit yours, I like people who pay attention on details!
Good job!
God bless your guys!
I hope there is something blocking the axle tube to keep bits of metal out.
Any answers
Yes there is.
Just had this done on my truck. They shoved rags in the axle housing then pulled them back out afterwards. Told me it’s a good idea to change the oil soon just in case anything metal shavings or slag was left behind.
Very interesting process how do you locate the bushing in the housing?
As the guy said ! Top notch work , looks great , and I think your right , better than new 👍🏻
Nice work gentleman.
Top Notch, they have scraped trucks for less. Fine work.🧐🧐🧐
That’s my mechanic shop he’s awesome.
What do they do about slag metal pieces they blew into carrier while torching....leave it so your ring gear and pinion along with carrier bearings get trashed?
I highly doubt the carrier is even in the axle housing due to the amount of work they are doing.
If they took time to remove the carrier it would be cheaper and faster to get a banjo housing at a salvage and I uck out getting one with the same ratio
How do yo know it is aligned with its counterpart?.
First time hearing about this.. great repair
Fantastic job I had never seen this done but it was very simple.
Have a great day JON
um, what happened to the filming of the bushing getting installed in the axle housing? Such an important part to leave out!!
Proprietary issue, I imagine. Can't have people copying their work.
Interesting concept.
You really need to do another video but show a much better version of what you do.
Right now I have so many unanswered questions.
The slag
How do you line it up
How does it oil the bearings with such a big plug in the way
No preheat and fast cooling of the weld.
Pressurizing the housing to check for leaks, what about the rest of the seals.
This is just wrong.
Great concept but in this repair the bushing looks sloppy AF in that axle. How in the hell can you get it true when it's so sloppy?
What type of tool you use to cut out the damaged spindle
Good work 👍👍👍
I'm interested in the process you use to center, and square up the threaded bushing, and the new spindle. Also when doing the cutting, and grinding, where does all the slag, and metal shavings ho, and how do you keep it from contaminating thecrest of the rearend housing?
Wow, great job.
Smart
Putting in some work !!! Yessir !!
Nice job guys especially you know working outside it's excellent
Rapid cooling of a finished weld is asking for delayed hydrogen cracking. Just an observation.
Exactly, and a good preheat prior to welding wouldn't either......
All these questions and the company doesn't give people answers.
My question like others is, how do you clean out the axil tube after cutting and grinding?
great job !
I see the comments about slag and shavings. The housing is pluged when using torch. Some of the processes are not shown. Why someone would thank they would show a proprietary information? Tooling is used to aling and machine everything before welding.
I’m a bit confused, I have had a axle doc come and do a few spindles. And every was trued and machined on the axle. This seems to be similar but a lot rougher? Very cool idea just not seeing anything machined is odd
I believe that the machining was done off camera,as well as the squaring of the stub to the housing.
@@larryreno8293 Not a single mention of those operations. Assumptions... you know what they say about them...
@@ShainAndrews reasonable deductions are not assumptions.
I'm an actual axle surgeon there is no machining involved just grinding. They really put on a show for the camera on this one. I have fixed so many of there f ups.
Just one question what kind of weld are you guys using? regular mig with argon?
So, my question is how did you stop the slag and metal debris, when you were cutting the axle from entering into the rear end? I didn't see that you protected that when cutting and welding or did I just couldn't see from the camera angle how you did that?
Had this type of repair done on a Ford f350 dually a few years ago in our shop. Don't remember who did it, but it was a nice repair. I was just wondering 2 things. Did you plug the axle tube with something to keep the welding slag and the grinding filings out. Didn't see anything. Also, how does the diff lube reach the bearings with that large bushing you put in the tube.
Many questions??? My thoughts first torching the inner part of the friction weld and blowing all that slag inside the housing and we all know how hard it is to clean it all out. Then the threaded bushing. How? I mmean how can it possibly be accurate with such a loose fit as far as accurate alignment and concentricity. Nice product. But seams like kind of a hack way of installing it. Seams y’all need to machine the end up the housing foe a snug fit with the bushing to control the accuracy of the install
I would go to the salvage yard and be done with it faster
Do you get any problems with oil flow now having put that plug in the axle Interresting repair good video
That is one off the best things I have seen. I’m in the uk 🇬🇧 & was thinking is there a franchise 4 that product over here I’m live in north wales 🏴 uk . It’s was just a thought I had when watching great stuff reagards Les Bettley
new sub!
Should you not have a radius on the spindle at diameter at the cone shelf . Great and informative video .
Six hammer hits! OK that's torqued.
And That Is How It Is Done
So who is your guys doing the actual work? Do they work for u directly in your service trucks etc? Or do you hire guys with trucks and welders that's looking for work? Curious how to get into such job. Great work and different from what the axel doctors do
My question is what about all the slag and debris that went into the axle tube ?
I would guess that the differential guy will clean it out when the rest of the assembly fails in a few days......I'm still trying to figure out how they centered the bushing with it being so loose in the housing.
Plus would that make that area brittle to flexing along with the heat from welding?
@@met9072 Why do people like you think these components are unicorns? The OEM is welded. You guys think welds are always a weak point... they seldom are.
The shop admitting they caused the bearing failure and doing what's right to fix the mistake is top notch IMO. Hard to find anyone willing to own up to their mistakes these days.
Great talent!
Great video. I'd like to get some info on being a vendor and providing the service to my customers here in in north west Indiana.
Running a tri-mix gas on the welder?
all those metal shaving going right down the axle tube into the differential.
I’m sure there was a plug in there somewhere.
Great video and very useful. Hope you could monetize it!
That truck truck needs some new tires don’t ya say?
Tem um jeito mas fácil de fazer colocar um gabarito e soldar
you are very strong I see why all the technicians who do mechanical manufacturing are not stubble in your country it's not like here in Africa
We are just over fed slobs here
@@daleolson3506: give me your food
👍🏻
What I see as the most important part of all of this to replace the second stub is the only clean up the the dif is fine shaving the amount of gringing and touch trash going to the diff makes me cringe.
no tread in those tires
Ever sell any to Pakistan or China?
Doubt it, that looks a bit cobbled to me. I've only seen those countries welds on the center carrier section that has broken due to their ridiculous weights and pitted roads
Cool but now the housing is full of trash
That is a awesome design great idea great job
What about all the metal shavings and slag you blew inside the axle and now the ring and pinion and bearings are extremely contaminated and will burn up for sure unless you had some sort of plug stuck inside the axle tube to catch all the contamination and the other thing I was wondering is how do you make sure that the spindle is aligned and straight?
Absolutely! How do you pressure test with a axle vent?
I was thinking the same thing. Looks quality but with a few questions
@@billcovert3473 Easy, you plug the vent, pressure up and blow all the seals out
What about the gear oil getting to the wheel bearing because you got that that adapter in there now it's got a client it's got to go higher to get the oil to flow into the wheel bearings you guys ever think about that there's an extra lip that gear oil has to go up and over before it gets to the wheel bearings
Working smarter
Good job
