Watching you thwack the ball joints free is one of the most satisfying things I've witnessed

[@WMCS]

Works every time mate.

[@Fvck_Y0u_Sad1Q_K]

You sir are blessed! Those ball joints never break free like that for me in the 6 years I worked for Ford 😂

[@WMCS]

😁😆…, they always come through here.

[@malikmochine5419]

Merci pour ce super tuto. Les vues sont parfaites. Cela dit, je n'avais pas votre force et je n'ai pas réussi à soulever la boîte de vitesse pour la remettre.

[@mg74xbgt]

Thanks from Australia !!! Had to do a 2010 one with the 2.0l tdci and 6 speed manual and this gave us all the clues we needed to get it done !!

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback. Really great to know the video came in handy. 🇦🇺 🍻🍻🍻

[@marcboylen2813]

Hi im about to do the same on my 2.0tdci. 2010. Did you remove the sub frame?

[@mg74xbgt]

@@marcboylen2813 We dropped the rear engine /box mount so that the engine basically swings in the engine bay. We had to actually drop the driveshafts out completly as we couldn;t get it to pivot far enough for them to pop out. 6 speed is heavier than 5 speed. So we used an engine crane over the top with bonnet removed just to make the job easier. Make sure the engine is properly supported when you remove top gearbox mount !

[@Roy750]

Did my best Kevin-Albert impression on Monday. Got floor tiles, put them under my wife's car and changed oil & filter! I haven't got a balaclava tho unfortunately.

Brilliant workmanship

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Nicely done mate, there's a fair bit of stuff to move to get to this one, full mark's for an efficient job, surprised not to see a torque wrench involved though. Best wishes, Stuart, Uk.

[@Roy750]

When you do the job every day, you know when things are tight enough. & he does use a torque wrench on critical stuff like wheel bolts. It would take forever to look up every torque spec for every bolt & nut on every job.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

@@Roy750 Hi mate, I agree, you get a feel for tightness, I was a motor engineer many yeas ago, and people who worked on stuff after me used to complain the bolts were too tight,! ,but nothing I worked on ever fell off, lol. Proof of the pudding or something, this wasn't a criticism aimed at Kevin, I can tell he knows his stuff, and could work on my car anytime, kind regards Stuart, Uk.

[@Roy750]

@@stuartlockwood9645 my relationship with torque wrenches isn't great. When I was a mechanic I stripped/snapped way more fasteners torquing to "book spec" than I ever did tightening by hand or with an impact gun. Now I'm an Engineer, my torque wrench only comes out once a year to be calibrated at work! But I frequently use torque wrenches at home for motorcycle engine & chassis components just for piece of mind more than anything.

[@edwin6660]

Can you do this without taking the slave cylinder off as I don’t have a clutch bleeding kit

[@WMCS]

Avoid using bleeding kit if possible. Very easy. Crack open bleed nipple. Slowly pump pedal several times. Get someone to hold pedal down. Close the bleed nipple. Pump pedal again several times. Hold pedal down and crack bleed nipple open. You should be good to go after that.

Hi Kevin hope your well. Which car would you say is the most time consuming start to finish? I've done a handful back in the 80s when alot younger and fitter would run a mile now will get you in lol. Nice new Jack

[@WMCS]

Andy If it was a toss between a Citroen C5 and Mini R50 supercharged the R50 will win on merit. The coin would land on its round. I take it you’re late 50’s based on the cars you worked on. I was taking my first step towards the spanner back then.

How many clutches you think you have replaced in your life ?

[@General.Longstreet]

Awesome work Kev. Just out of interest what do you do with the old clutches and flywheels? Do you sell them for scrap or are they refurbished at all?

[@FordPickUPRed]

In Canada they are returned to the parts store you purchased from and you receive a core credit. Interested to know how it works in the UK.

[@WMCS]

I give them to a local chap. He weighs them in every month for a tidy sum.

[@allanbroderick1923]

Hi Kevin why do you use rubber grease round the clutch bearing and bell housing great vlogs keep up the good work Allan 👍

[@WMCS]

It doesn’t disintegrate so it won’t turn to sludge causing the clutch to bind.

[@mistermaster1945]

Hello Kevin, I know it's silly question but I'm curious, when your customer ask you to replace the clutch, then you did it anyway or you did inspection first and decided whether need replacement or not? Thank for your response, May God give you a lot of fortune. .🙏

[@WMCS]

Not a silly question at all. Once I’m there the clutch is going to get done regardless. They have contracted me to do that. And as a business I have all my formalities beforehand which cover me and my firm.
