Life of a Mobile Mechanic | C4 Clutch Replacement | 2008 Ford Fiesta Shocks Replacement | VLOG 5

What a day that was! We started by replacing a 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso Clutch and Dual-mass Flywheel. It shouldn't have taken us that long to replace it if it wasn't for that stubborn, hard-to-reach, starter motor bolt, but hey, this is what I love about my job, it's different trouble everyday.
We then went to a suspension job for a Ford Fiesta 2008... find out what happens!

Those Mini blow torches are handy for Heating and removing stuck and Seized, ball joint bolts...! Also plenty of WD 40...! 🤔🤔👍👍

[@themarvelousvlog]

Unfortunately did not work mate. I think it needed acetylene torch 😂

[@gurpalsahota9726]

I usually spray the bottom ball joint then put the gun direct to spin the bolt then tap it from the other side with a long pin punch, it usually frees up the bolt.

[@themarvelousvlog]

I do the same, but when I did just that, I knew something was up. I think the bolt rust welded itself in 😭😭😭

Don’t forget, a dual mass should have some free play, it’s a certain amount of teeth that it should move which differs from one to the next so doesn’t always indicate a worn out dual mass if it turns. Had a mate who was adamant it should have none at all and changed it when it wasn’t really needed

[@themarvelousvlog]

Dual-mass rattle and that much free-play. I’m sure that this flywheel needed replacing 🤔

[@BenEyah]

@@themarvelousvlog I think you should re-read what I put.

[@ErikJohannessen-tv3go]

Seen more - more imprest .
You are grate and klever and fun to watch 👍

[@themarvelousvlog]

Thank you 🫡

[@leeverink32]

that CV booth is an emediate M.O.T fail. I suggest emediate replacing before the wheel bearing starts to fail from gunk build up.

[@johnsutton2527]

You should use some heat on them bolts

[@rogerrambit4447]

What type fluids are used on the gearbox repairs?

[@BEAZeO20d]

Hi love the videos just wondering if this was an auto as didn't see TCM being reprogrammed? I've just had to have my citroen done after buying the car...

[@HUBONEN]

Compressor+air hammer guys. I know those bolts 😂

[@Paul-nm7tl]

Those pinch bolts never remove using the torx head. Run the nut off then use a heavy drift piece of metal with a large hammer, they will eventually start to shift

[@themarvelousvlog]

Why not the Torx head? 🤔

[@Paul-nm7tl]

@themarvelousvlog the bolt is always so seized on a car of that age, and an internal drive fixing will either round them off or snap the torx piece.
Always hammer them through with a big drift/punch and get a new nut/bolt ready (worth keeping a few in toolbox) They should of made them a 17mm 6 sided bolt, would allow much more purchase on the fixing. I had same issue with a 2019 Ford Courier last week, seized solid

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Can you not apply heat to the ball joint bolt as you are allready replacing it anyway 🤔

[@themarvelousvlog]

We applied heat, a lot of it and a lot of torque, and a lot of WD40, NOTHING T__T

[@craigrice1960]

How long did this take from start to finish 😢

[@themarvelousvlog]

About 2.5-3hrs?

[@user-cn6cy7qf3o]

Pa shout lodi

[@themarvelousvlog]

Hehe! Sige sige

[@bertiewooster3326]

Dual mass=SHITE
