You can replace all 6 bolts with these pins (3 on each leaf spring). In the rear, there’s two bolts you replace with these pins. The upper bolt of the two, you do have to trim a little bit but it works just fine (plenty of threads left, bolt still protrudes past end of nut, may be tough to get crush washer on but it works). Just make sure you thread the nut on before cutting the pin with an angle grinder so you can un thread the nut which fixes the messed up threads from cutting.

If the front wheel nuts start to work themselves loose, you usually feel it it in the form of very sloppy steering. Usually enough warning. If you just forget to tighten the nuts, then they can come off more quickly.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Want to add a pinned comment to this, at the 23:27 timestamp youll see I put the washer on BEFORE the pinion gear. This is INCORRECT. Please note that the washer needs to go on after the pinion gear follow then by the nut. Apologies for the mistake in this video!

I noticed on my 1965 mini moke the engine is very loose. Do you know how difficult is to replase the probably worn two engine rubber mounts at the bottom?
@classicminidiy
@classicminidiy 22 күн бұрын
Shouldn't be too difficult, youll want to lightly support the engine with a floor jack, then undo the nuts/bolts holding the lower mounts in. Then you can swap in the new ones reversing the removal steps.

You would think they'd add a hole in the sleeve pin as well. Some have grooves in the bushing to allow grease to flow down the grooves and lubricate all the way around the pin. Since the pin is fixed are you worried a majority of the grease is just making its way to the edges? Ive been trying to find a solution for my tundra but unfortunately my shackles seem much larger than anything they sell as a greaseable alternative. In my head it doesn't make sense, you want a majority of the grease between the pin and the bushing. If the sleeve pin is just a hole with a bolt through it how does it go between the bushing and pin? Or are the hydraulic forces of the grease able to squeeze through from the outer edge?

It's down to personal preference and you con configure a recirc system, or omit the blow-off entirely, though doing that has some implications on the turbo. One thing I will say is that the video makes the BOV sound super super loud when in person it's very mild.

Awesome video, like many others. You are so good at this, man. Why would anyone replace a newer servo breaks that has a much better feel to a yellow tag?
@classicminidiy
@classicminidiy Ай бұрын
Thanks! Most common reason is wanting to simplify the look in the engine bay or needing the space occupied by the servo for something else (eg. larger breathers, ignition coil, etc). I actually always preferred (in my mini) the feeling of yellow tag or single line brakes. The servo doesn't add enough stopping assistance to me and prefer the more raw feel in the older car. Now on my tacoma....I wouldnt wanna drive it without a servo haha.

I would check your driveshafts and make sure they are not contacting the exhaust pipe. The fact that its only when you're going up hill makes me think its something related to the engine position, potentially leaning back and causing something to contact outside the engine.

I know it's blasphemy, but I would love to ELECTRIFY a Morris Mini. I've seen a few builds and the low weight + EV torque makes for a fantastic driving experience. I have sourced a 997cc Mk-1 Morris Mini with a dead engine, so I just need to figure out how to get and install the EV components ... it's the start of a BIG project.

The torque is great, but the car loses a lot of range. Minis are too small to have enough batteries to get anything more than 100 miles on a good day.

@classicminidiy
@classicminidiy Ай бұрын
So it is interpolated on the Haltech side but the smiths gauge has a non-linear step starting at 10mph as the bottom step. The left side of the speedo is tighter than the right. It could also be related to the gearbox speed sensor. It came loose recently and had to retighten but it may still not be fully seated (big hands small area). Will need to get loctite on it to be certain.

I`m just about rebuilding my radius arms for my 75 Inno 1300. Watching your video helped me finishing that job nicely - thank you for sharing! What I´m left with is the radial play that I found on both radius arms - that play is about 0,2mm, which I think is too much... From the theorie the tolerances of radius arm + shaft + xxx sum up and you need to "adjust" the installation somehow. My idea is to install the roller bearing NOT fully home, but stand off a couple of x/10mm and press that bearing home with the actual used shaft. This results in Zero axial play. Question to you: how do you set your axial play?? Thank you for a breif response.

I like this, however, something I cannot find ANYTHING about, is the rod change selector box maintenance and refurbishment. Wher the rods go in and out, there are bushings? But are they replaceable or not? the bushings in back are not easy...and just in general, I see nothing about it, just removing it as a unit, putting it in as a unit. I would like to see a teardown and restore job on a unit. I have two that are 40+ years old and I have no idea if they're serviceable or not because of that "bushing" if there actually is one?
