Hi, great job, was wondering if I could add a winch and found your video, thanks, just I question in regards to the fair lead, looking at its placement it is down quite low, I know it would be difficult to know exactly where to cut the hole but were 100% happy or should it of been a little higher? Thanks again and great job fixing and installing that winch.

BRO! i was trying to figure out why my drawer slide wouldn't lock in anymore! i figured out that I was missing the stop but couldn't figure out how that would affect the front lock! your video showed me that. in my quest to design a new drop down slide I now am conflicted. I can just fix my current slide with a 3d printed part!

I work with fridge slides all the time, and the ball bearings are a necessary addition for longevity in our off road vehicles. The pieces that hold the ball bearings get deflected from the bouncing, then fall apart. Getting the bearings on there helps spread that load.

Interesting, I haven't had an issue with mine. How is it powered on the 12V? Is it connected to a battery or running from the car feed in a caravan? Also make sure htere it is full of water. Check the LCD display as that is how you can set the temperature when on 12V. If the blue indicator light is not "on" then there is no 12V power.

Gday Matt Enjoy all your videos on the Colorado. Where you mounted the breather hose bracket on the firewall is the space I have fitted a Provent catch can.( I tried a HPD brand, looks nice & shiny, but absolutely useless at catching oil vapour). Space is limited for a catch can, and the supplied hoses/ bracket dictate it’s mounting position. The breather bracket could go elsewhere as it doesn’t take up a lot of area. Thanks mate, keep up the great videos.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Well-presented and very informative video Matt. Taking photos before you dismantle is a great idea. I'd suggest taking photos of both sides. I just took photos of one side thinking they're identical but they're not and it can get a little confusing trying to mirror image the photos in your head. I've just done the full kit - new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders and shoe retaining pins. All went smoothly. Biggest drama was getting the old drum off. One shoe had ground itself 5mm into the drum and even with the adjuster fully backed off, nothing I did would allow the drum to release. I ended up having to unscrew the wheel cylinder and drill out the back of the shoe retaining pins. Eventually I was able to remove the drum!

It’s not uncommon for these to be damaged off road, but to just perish and split, it’s a good idea to regularly inspect the underside of the vehicle for damage. Thanks mate, I like your videos. 👍🇦🇺

@handymatt9377 Жыл бұрын
A couple of things to check. I assume you have the correct shoe size, make sure the shoes are centered on the axle...just hold both of them and pivot slightly side to side to get them centred as best as you can. Ensure the hand brake is off. If you still have issues getting hub on wind the adjuster all the way in. If this works but it rotates too easily, wind out adjuster a little.
