Hi Leon, just for a Ref: The Draper Expert tap and die ( 45 Piece ) set has the M12 x 1.5 tap and die in it .. the bigger and smaller set don't seam to have the 1.5 but only the 1.75 tap and die .. Hope it helps in the future .. Love them Parrot nosed Vice Grips ... Saves hours O Funn when doing Drop Links .. Keep up the Good work .. Andy ..
Very comprehensive video both educational and entertaining, very exact thank you for helping me and many many others top man.
I reckon that galling on the threads and bolts of the carrier was probably caused by someone getting carried away with tightening them up....
these people must trust you or they would not come back and a lot of work for you but think how happy the customer will be and tell all of the friends and every penny you make will buy the daughter more presents LOL thanks for the video
Had the same aggro on my lads polo. Someone stripped the threads and on vw its all one part of the hub ..redrill and fit a timesert cheapest option.
Interesting video Leon . Never seen a tap and die tool in use before .
I hate butchery like that, do you think that those were the correct bolts ? the only reason I can see for that crap is using bits from the bolt bucket !
They should be the correct bolts if memory serves there are 2 different sizes depending on application. Its just they come with a fair amount of powdered lock tight when new, and they are classed as a consumable part and are suposed to be replaced when doing the discs. I've seen several 212 rear stub axles do that. Normaly because noone has cleared the crap out of the threads and just send it..
You can use an allen key to hold the stud on the drop link. Did a couple on a Vauxhall Astra. I just don't believe in leaving damage/scars when repairing.
great as always big man happy christmas to you and family
I hate drop links what are those pliers/vice grips called (do they have a specific name) i have a pair of normal ones but even they can be a hassle at times, love watching these always reminds me im not alone when i say to the wife i can fix it for a couple of hundred then end up finding more and more work LOL
i found them apparently called parrot nose locking vice grips, all these years i didn't even know these existed i've always struggled with normal big fat chunky vice grips.
@@Pontelad Thanks for posting again after you found the name
You made me feel a whole lot better, I have been collecting taps an dies for years but there is always one I don't have, normally when I really need it.!
I needed an M22 for a drive axle. It was used and mushroomed. It took me over an hour, but while I was there, I did the other. The nuts went on well. Then, I did the nuts, then they spun on like brand new nuts. Mushroomed threads can be restored
@@forevercomputing M22? Oh bollocks, there is another one I don't have!
@@harveysmith100 I did try the workshop at work that work on buses. Nothing. Now I have a variety if taps and dies
This is why mechanics charge the amount they do, some people don’t understand that! There could be issues on the way that the mechanic will come across!
Great job as always, Merry Christmas pal, have a good one!
A good way to see things a bit closer up is take a photo of the threads with your smart phone with the flash on then you can zoom in and see.
All good but leaving tools on the alloy wheel? They maybe curbed but dont need more damage to their surface. Just an observation
High temp ceramic brake grease
Like you say all these expensive tools are not needed.. you can double up on spanners to make a longer lever... its all old school tricks of doing it without the special tools in the first place where it just becomes routines.
ps you forgot to fit the metal brake pad slider plate...these are to help the pads move more freely within the brake housing.
44:00 couldnt watch you nuking these bolts in. Didnt they get damaged that way in the first place? Whats the recommended torque for these?
If i ever struggle doing a job because i don't possess a specific tool like a tap or a specific size drill bit i will order one straight away then i have it there incase i ever come across a similar situation just like helicoil kits i just bit the bullet and bought a whole range from M4 to M16 kits so i have them there,
As for tightening up them carrier bolts if i thought them threads were a bit iffy i would have looked up on the Autodata for the exact torque specs for them and torqued them up and if the survived up to the correct torque spec i would be over them moon i have done the exact same on a merc had same problem chased the threads on carrier and bolts then tightened the bolts and thought they are tight then went back coz i thought are they tight enough so give first one a bit more it was fine give second on a bit more and it went loose i was gutted i should of left well alone, so now any dodgy threads i clean them up and torque them 😂
Ceramic grease?
when was the last time you have seen your car disks ,are they not rust or you change them every week ? tell me man .every car is like that
This reminds me of the Hairy Bikers...why ??
Are you working indoors again found another workshop.
