ESCORT COSWORTH DRIVE SHAFT REBUILD

[@jeff.5380]

I can't believe the amount of negative comments on here, like Adams said in previous videos, he's just a normal guy in his garage having a go, he's not a professional and is learning as he goes. Im sure Adam would love everyone to donate so that he could afford all genuine Ford parts or have someone restore the car for him.

[@jeff.5380]

@@smithrx97 yes it's a very expensive car, but let's not forget Adam doesn't have endless amounts of money, so let's give him credit for keeping another classic on the road.

[@jayharrison7782]

​@smithrx97 he did alright when he rebuilt the underside of the 3 door. So I don't think he's got too much to worry about really

No better feeling than rebuilding existing parts instead of buying new ones.

Well done mate… get stuck in and do your best. Reusing and refurbishing parts is always a great way to go. We all live and learn. Happy days! 👍🏻

Stop watching it if you're going to be negative. There are too many haters in this world. Pathetic. You're doing a good fella keep up the good work 👏 😊

[@deanmoran-mn4we]

Adam , i have just done the same rear end works on my sierra 4x4 cosworth, which involved refurbishing the rear drive shafts with new boots and a repaint , as the driveshaft lobro joints were externally rusty i cleaned these up and refilled these as you have with the external groove against the rubber gaiter, this has resulted in a slight rear end knocking noise that matched the road speed coming from the diff / drive shafts , as part of the rear end works the diff was also refreshed After a bit of searching the ford manual shows hat these groves on the lobro joints go to the outer edge , i am going to change mine around this week and see if it stops the slight rear end knocking noise .

[@EricaMTB]

I would have kept the CV joints and boots if not split. Just clean and repack.

[@brian3174]

Only boots he needs is cowboy boots to go with his Stetson and 6 guns in his cowboy,d cosworth hes changing his name to Clint Cosworth esquire of the northeast territories lmfaooo😂😂😂😂😂

Every dollar saved by refurbishing rather than buying (unnecessary new) makes it easier/more economical for you and still have a great car…. Because you know you’ve done it right.. keep on keeping on bro..

[@cjmackay9804]

Good job again Adam ignore the haters it’s your car put what parts you want on it. I look forward to seeing the cossie at some shows if you decide to attend 👍🏻

[@online_twins_5814]

I used to deal with AMK automotive components, based in Gateshead, back in the days I worked for Partco/Unipart., for driveshafts and cv joints. Used to love winding up a guy called mick, on Mondays, During football season. Can’t remember if he was a Newcastle or Sunderland supporter. but if the team he supported lost and the others won, was like fuel for the fire. Great bunch guys and company to deal with.

[@timmaytola69]

Love watching you do all the work yourself Adam, miss my escort cossie.. top job👍👍

[@GoWstingray]

Nice one, great job, might be best putting a coating on the CV joint machined outer surface, its a nice shiny silver now, but in a couple of weeks they will be a rusty mess, I'm a bit ocd though ha

[@davidhaygarth648]

Simple easy to work on design unlike most shafts.

[@1978JonBullock]

Adam, it's good to see you reusing original parts and saving a few quid at the same time pal.

[@fatwalletboy2]

Yeah ive used those JR kits for years. Good value and very satisfying DIY job especially on a split boot that could fail the MOT. One thing is those pliers you used for the clips check the squashed up ends dont foul on anything when the shaft is turned......my tool crushes the ends but also flattens them at the same time otherwise they catch probably on the ABS sensor (not a Ford mind)

By the way i won 1st place in concours at the national day 2008 at rockingham, with a moondust sapphire, so i know how much things cost. You are doing a good job. What will you do for a garage when you sell your house?

You have used the wrong pliers for that clip. You need the ones with a centre foot to stop the clip arching in the middle

[@GolfR400]

Agree. When crimped like that they tend to open up after a bit. Just had to re do a set cos of this.

[@Roverturbo]

Here for this comment, those piers are for the removable clips. You use them one way to remove, turn them round to install.

[@therealdojj]

Hang on, you've not put the circlips on the insides of the shafts, so mine have had two either side of the joint, inside and out to keep it in place 🤔

I remember years ago when I was managing a car parts shop and a guy came in after something and said he'd been recommended to put graphite grease in a cv joint. I told him to go home, dismantle the cv and throughly remove all traces of the stuff. No idea if he did and never saw him again.

How come originals weren’t stripped and cleaned ? Would go for oe over repro every time. Two pieces of ply with bolt and washers and clamp the joint in the middle then aqua blast the outsides. Then strip and clean insides
