1964 Mk1 Mini Restoration S2 Ep192 - Real Time Reaming

[@martingray8443]

Thanks for humouring us, sorry if we jinxed it? Deffo liked all your simultaneous talking and doing in the beginning... you could lean out the repetition in the middle, and the ending although not happy, was well done too. I was wondering about the plastic sleeve, thought you just hadn’t filmed it. And bolt the flipping vice down!!! :-)

[@MattGreenWorks]

Bench is not even bolted together lol

[@sprokthered]

That’s a swine mate. All done things like that. I think a little bit of real time but no need to see too much repetitive screwing but nice to see things once or twice. As always top job.

[@landzender]

When I put the brass and roller bearings in I used a length of thread (M14 I think) with a few washers and a nut on each end and "pressed" them in by doing up the nuts. Just a little gentler that hitting them in.

[@MattGreenWorks]

agree , and would recommend that option before this option :) .. my dad has posted me some threaded rod LOL

[@thecambiker]

Tip for the roller bearing.. Get some threaded bar, penny washers or Square of flat bar with hole in as it'll be stronger. Get bearing roughly seated, put nut and washer on one end and pass through the bearing, nut and washer the other side and tighten up with spanner it'll pull the bearing in nicely without damage from hammering!

[@MattGreenWorks]

Dad has posted me some. With bearing to lol

[@thecambiker]

It'll make life easier for you that's for sure, I bought a cheap blind bearing puller a while back so I'll never sacrifice a decent flat head screwdriver again... Still bodge, swear and feck things up though!

[@Avtovaz21057]

bolt the vice down and use two 12mm spanners if you dont have the t bar!! thanks for the vid

[@1chish]

I had the bushes reamed by the local engineering company who bored the engine and did some other stuff for me (they still have all the original BMC / BL tools). Got home. Put the bearing in the first arm and .... SHIT! .. plastic tube forgotten! Every day is a school day .... 'Bad News' was I cranked the engine over for the first time Saturday and no oil pressure ... Oooer. Ordered a Cooper S ball and spring from Minispares to replace the original valve, it and other parts arrived yesterday and 'Good News' is 90+ PSI ....

[@MattGreenWorks]

Dad posted me spare bearing today phew

[@1chish]

@@MattGreenWorks Who's a lucky boy then? Just don't ask if he got that knowing you would need it ....lol

[@Roo2398]

Awsome video... I prefer seeing the fails etc. It's a good way of teaching. Much prefer the longer videos.. lookong forward to the next one.

[@llmikeyj1]

you can knock the bush back out using a long round bar from the roller end with a sharp clean edge to contact the bush :/

[@GeeenJ]

it happens easy mistake could be worse and put the bush and bearing in the wrong ends whats worseif your doing king pins and ream the bushes out too much

[@Bullacenet]

When do you actually have to replace these bearings/bushes on the radius arms? Actually in the process of moving over those to a new rear subframe so I might as well look into the condition of those.

[@MattGreenWorks]

When they worn out or rusted. Take pins out of yours. Check bearings spin etc. When radius arm on car you can check play. Too

[@jokerscape]

I think i’m gonna have to do this to four arms two on the hornet and two on the Mayfair and excuse my ignorance but until this vid I wasn’t sure what reaming even was

[@andrewohare3628]

Matt. Can you post another video to get 10,,000 subscribers in real time by midnight ??

[@markburton3306]

Carry on reaming

[@richmpiblue5220]

...Nah prefer time lapse, but that's me. Great video anyway, Matt! Getting there.

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Fail??? Nah, Just one of those things...show us everything, Matt...warts and all...(and statistically youtube says that 'those whom show the feck ups, gain more subscribers/views'.....Just saying...

[@ThePultzFamily]

Yeah! Real time rocks!
