AXLES, CVS & BEARINGS. NEW LIFE for a 20-Yr OLD LAND CRUISER part-8

[@BRBTechTalk]

I really like Paul's way of explaining things, he gets to the point and he actually has a good voice for camera work.

[@rj-gd3pc]

Paul should have his own KZbin channel

[@poopipeboy3033]

He's like a doctor discussing kidney stones, except with Landcruisers.

[@brkbtjunkie]

Dr. Land Cruiser, I presume.

[@Luceq]

I have never payed that level of attention to detail before. This is pure gold.

[@bluecollarstudio8513]

I really like Paul's "no compromise" approach and attention to detail on vehicle rebuilds. Its basically a new vehicle but meticulously gone over by Paul which must be worth even more and the way Terrain Tamer puts complete kits together is common sense. I'm not sure why they don't have this for all vehicles here in the states.

[@mark2073]

These videos will boost the value of my axle rebuilds! Imagine trying to do a good job at this before the internet.

[@nosignal88]

He works how i do

[@Bennyboy-dog]

Agree - Paul has a deep wisdom of the mechanical and it shows. It's also the only approach that will work over time. However, one has to ask, how much will a good job cost and how does that compare to a newer or new vehicle purchase? Herein lays the rub - the new or newer vehicle is much more complex but that is not what is called for in an overland vehicle...complexity and reliability are not happy bed fellows. Finally that question about finding a "good" mechanic...when you don't know much about what makes a good mechanic, you have to trust your gut and that I find is easily deceived.Andrew luckily has the good mechanic and workshop, so its probably worthwhile for him. I on the other hand don't have these luxuries, so I'm looking for a low kilometer and younger specimen.

[@rztrzt]

@@Bennyboy-dog A good mechanic you find by word of mouth, their reputation comes into play.

[@mullerandre95]

In South Africa these vehicles are ludicrously expensive because of various reasons, that's why a full rebuild will still work out financially. The average motorists can not afford to go and buy a 4 x 4 new or 2nd hand as their prices are artificially being kept inflated.

[@jimbojones2457]

As a Toyota mechanic, everything Paul says is absolutely true 100%. A lot of service centres overlook the smaller details causing premature wear of vital components like stub axles and CV's. It's getting harder for a lot of people to find a good mechanic that understands how to properly diagnose mechanical components. I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@CatManDoSocial]

Paul is just amazing. I think I can feel my synapses making new connections. Brilliant.

[@leeobe]

Very clear and informative elaboration by Paul on the decision making process to determine whether or not to change parts. I hope you do more series like this with Paul. Thank you for sharing this rebuild 👍👍

[@Michael_Mears]

I like Paul's explanation of bearings, seals and the lubricants involved. Well covered.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

I have learnt a lot watching these videos so far, I already knew a certain amount of stuff about 4wd's and mechanics, but the way Paul explains things and what you need against what you don't is fantastic. I just wish there were more people like paul about and good mechanics that know their stuff also but do not charge an arm and a leg for their work.

[@devinspeers3382]

Absolutely love this series.

[@theswoosh71]

Couldn;t agrree more!

[@Ta50039]

One of the best mini-series you've ever done. You're going to make Paul and Joubert stars. This has been incredibly useful and enlightening, not because I'm rebuilding a 20 yr old Landcruiser but just to see how he thinks about the various issues and to hear you back and forth questions. So thrilled you decided to buy this truck. Maybe you're not but it's making for good video!

[@sqd8r]

Bloody masterclass this! Thank you Andrew & Paul.

[@henrygreen19]

Man what a series ! I am learning so much. Conclusion - in my next life I WILL have a friend like Paul !!!

[@richardcasey4439]

I may never rebuild axles myself but it’s so interesting and informative to see this

[@garthhayward9581]

I recently rebuilt my 1959 Willys Wagon Dana/Spicer 25 front Axle and they are configured exactly the same as these on the Land Cruiser with closed knuckles, spindles and bearings. We set the preload using shims and a fish weight scale 😀. Point is you can do this work by yourself just make sure you get top class replacement parts. You'll learn a huge amount about your vehicle and it's great fun doing this work.

[@philipjooste9075]

Ahh, my all time favourite vehicle! I also rebuilt a couple of Dana 25s in my lifetime and I recall the shockingly poor quality of Crown replacement parts (trust they have improved since) Fortunately I managed to find a new-old-stock Willys Overland supplier for the more difficult to find parts, whereas bearings and seals are fairly standard off-the-shelf items.

[@garthhayward9581]

Philip Jooste Yes one has to be aware that not all replacement parts, specially bearings, races and seals, are equal. It's worth spending the few dollars more to do it once and correctly. Good to hear you're a fan of the old Willys Wagons, they were the first 4wheel drive SUV's and proved to be very popular.

[@chevy6n2]

Andrew, you're in the best hands with your truck, Paul is a special human....the way he explains everything is absolutely perfect, he cares for what's best for you and your vehicle. Paul, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[@thorstenwanoth6774]

Awesome to see a bunch a middle aged guys getting older relating a detailed story of oils and grease mixing! Huge wealth of knowledge. Awesome story here.

[@mdirtydogg]

Another excellent episode in this series. I really like the way Paul explains things and the fact that he is not interrupted unnecessarily.

[@patrickstevens7786]

Paul is very good,knowledgeable and thorough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!

[@scubbarookie]

Paul has that no nonsense approach to rebuilding a Landcruiser, and this in the end is a major game changer! He's one of the very best! Thank you! 👍

[@MasaiGainz]

THIS SERIES IS SIMPLY GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. Looking forward to the next 4 episodes or so! Great work ASPW

[@adammoodley2722]

The knowledge that this series is giving me is extremely valuable. A huge thank you to Paul and Andrew. This series is life changing!!!

[@w0nt0nj0n]

Wow, I learned a few things from this. Thank you. I also highly recommend that everyone needs to rebuild an axle a few times, it's critical to understand this and have the experience in case something goes wrong in the field.

[@JohnDoe-hy2op]

Right into the guts of it, what a difference it will all make. it would be nice to have the coin to fix my old 4x4, and that's the facts of the matter. Andrew, thanks again for yet another lesson, much appreciated.

[@slowboat6021]

Paul is a legend. Love your work mate.

[@jamesb8467]

I’m overhauling the front axle on my 80 series right now so this video is gold! It reassured me I made the right decision to spend the extra money and replace the birfields and inner axles, along with all the gaskets, seals, bearings, etc.

[@lindonsmith7974]

James B the rule of thumb - if you disassemble, replace the seals. They’re relatively cheap for the role they perform

[@jamesb8467]

lindon smith right, they carry a small price tag but perform huge jobs.

[@pillay87]

I can set and watch talking Paul's and hearing his voice for hours and hours. Beautiful.

[@theshiv5288]

This mechanic has the cleanest shirt in the industry.

[@carloborromeo5595]

Beautiful 43 series. I can't wait to hear/see your feature on the 40 series! Looking forward mate!👍🏻😊🍻

[@PatrickRich]

have you heard of wits end overdriver seal driver? extends the life of your birfields by allowing you to safely and effectively move the inner axle seal in from its factory location a few mm and prevents the ridge from forming on the axle shaft.

[@edwardpeters4700]

This episode makes me very happy I insisted on a front axle rebuild straight away when I purchased an 80 series in January. Also I'm wicked jealous of the Terrain Tamer service kits.

[@AlexanderJBarrett]

Thoroughly enjoying this series. I tend to love big trip vlogs more but this is a really great insight into the processes behind a rebuild.

[@davidwoods80]

Easiest video ASPW has ever made, thanks to Paul.

[@wakeupamerica4610]

Im really enjoying this series!!!! Paul is amazing,his attention to facts ,detail and no bullshit is a lost art!!!!

[@LoneGalloperOverland]

you've outdone yourselves again. yet another top notch video ram packed with knowledge. I am in awe, or should I say in love with how well Mr. Marsh conducts and explains himself. thank you again for posting these videos Andrew!

[@alananderson5202]

We drove a Landcruiser all around Iceland and into the high country. What a jewel.

[@chriskituu2195]

Pauls perspective and attention to details is so refreshing. Big up overland

[@bluefunkenator]

Glad to hear you will do an episode on the 40s - I used to have a 1980 BJ42, was a great vehicle, lots of good times and memories.

[@fetcher321]

This is a great series, Andrew. Thank you for doing this. Paul has a wealth of knowledge and cares about what he does. His explanations inspire confidence in his decisions through the course of a rebuild.

[@Andrew-dg7qm]

I love this. Completely unlike any conversation I’ve EVER had with a mechanic. The devil is in the details

[@Jeff_MT09]

Brilliant series - so informative. The mechanics really know their stuff. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Cheers from Australia. 👍😀

[@kevinlouwrens2756]

Paul knows his stuff. Respect.

[@Maedetto]

This is the kind of content that should be promoted to the highest level from KZbin itself. Keep it up Andrew. You are creating a masterpiece content for Overlanding lovers.

[@6wilbur9]

Paul's knowledge, delivery, explanations and patient demeanor is always great to watch. Fantastic series!!

[@Carlosmahumane]

This is one of the best series you have done. Continue to make content like this. I would like to see a final list of things that really must be changed by the end of the show.

[@grahamfielder4498]

Masterclass supreme. Well done team. Parts sponsor should be delighted.

[@drumvannelle69]

This guy is a professor not just a knowledgeable mechanic. Very informative series. Well done 👍

[@NKPGarage]

Great simple to understand explanations. Thanks for sharing!

[@bmonck5110]

Paul is terrific for the details that we all really need to travel with these vehicles

[@dharris229]

One of the most informative series I've watched. Thank you

[@jezswallow9801]

These have been the most fascinating series of vlogs you've done! I am mesmerised by the detail and 'car story' line Paul can put together through the components he sees. 5*+. Keep them coming Andrew.

[@71robuk]

Just wanted to say, I am really loving this series. More please :)

[@caesarkamami]

Hats off Andrew! This is the most practical series I have watched from you.

[@mohvanwah]

This is just pure gold....loving the series, makes me want to rebuild an old cruiser!

[@quinamos8077]

What away to spend lunch at work! Paul keeps coming up with the goods! Thank you

[@spudboy1328]

Excellent PR for Terrain Tamer! Didn't know they did half of these things.

[@brendenmannix3665]

Thanks for these vids. Paul Marsh just has a great way of sharing his Knowledge! Thank you both, Ive now got enough knowledge to get myself into trouble :)

[@billybiker1383]

love these videos Andrew, Paul and the team doing an amazing job

[@faroukwasswa3588]

Am watching and following every bit of every step of the build and I can't wait to see this car finished. 😎😎

[@leenderdhoutzager9389]

Very good advise, good to hear it from a professional like Paul Marsh

[@icelandicoverland921]

The best mechanic ever he should open a shop near my house

[@dalep-i4844]

Yep. You would know your car is in safe hands if Paul was working on it.

[@ratn9ne]

Very good at explaining things and good clean camera work. We run wheel bearings far far longer than this guy would approve of in 'Murica!

[@fishpest2039]

What a great episode, really informative. Now l have a better understanding of the front end components and know somewhat what to look out for

[@kellydrolet4740]

Great teacher. I liked the direct relationship of weight to wear and servicing. I find this is where people and mechanical shops miss the mark. If anything I will be more competent and confident at doing on the road repairs - thanks.

[@Hartz187]

Best video on this theme in a looong while. Very informative in a proffesional way without pushing the salesman on ✌️ cheerz from wayup north of Norway

[@mullerandre95]

If you're in the bush with a wheel bearing issue and the stub axle has been worn you can knurl the housing to get you out of a pinch. Paul could perhaps explain that too. Personally I would not reuse wheel bearings as the case hardening can start to flake off if it hasn't already. They're cheap and small enough to take a complete new kit with. Perhaps you could also show a newer one piece wheel bearing design that gets pressed in, and is a bugger to do in the field.

[@benjaminwilliams4543]

This video made for an excellent morning

[@Dazza-u4c]

Thank you Paul and Andrew, very educational.

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Ummm, great tips for the wheel bearing! That guy is very very meticulous! We need more of him as car technician!

[@tbonesteak4961]

Paul needs a noble peace prize 😁

[@pieterberkhout1242]

I wish we had mechanics like this in the Netherlands. It so hard to find good people here. Problem is we all want affordable repairs and mechanics here dont make a lot of money. Circle thing. Good mechanics diserve more respect and money. I would spend more if I knew I could trust them 100%.

[@itscharstoncho5900]

What a detailed information! I Can really understand it.

[@derealovesurvival7549]

Coming along nicely good video thanks for sharing ATB and God bless you all..

[@No0ne31]

Great video Andrew. Fantastic insights! But I agree that this is a restoration now ...

[@mark2073]

I just bought an 80 front axle to put under my 60. Diff was completely dry! Not a drop of oil. Gears had black pasty stuff on them. Put in some old gear oil and turned it a bunch of times to reliquify everything. Minimal fuzz on the drain plug. I think I got lucky but I'll find out when I take off the 3rd.

[@avimes]

Absolutely love this series, can you ask Paul to talk about expedition HEVY DUTY maintenance routine? The Toyota FSM is totally useless?

[@kilangondongo9204]

Nice combinationa of you two Thank you for this series

[@fantus6668]

Looking forward to seeing more of the 40's :)

[@JustPete65]

Put thin covering of appropriate grease on spare bearings to stop any rust. Keep tied together in a sealed plastic sandwich bag

[@willwiggins7766]

Really enjoying this series!

[@FPVsean]

I can't wait to see the interior work that'll go into this would love an in depth look like this at the split charge and leisure system

[@NAB5803]

Great Andrew!

[@AlKulla]

So informative! Love this series!

[@snoopy13946]

I never knew I knew so little. Fascinating stuff.

[@4xoverland]

- funny you should say that. I thought that myself through this process.

[@stilley78]

Man, this Paul guy is amazing. I want him to work on my 60 series, but i'm in Australia...

[@kclamer]

Terrain Tamer commercial plug at the axle section, gotta love sponsorships.

[@mikanfarmer]

They sound like they deserve it.

[@4xoverland]

FYI. Paul has been using Terrain Tamer parts for almost two decades in his own business. He was more than happy to endorse their products. Nobody asked him to. That's not how we work. Not even Terrain Tamer asked him to. Nobody got paid anything.

[@papaloo2000]

Beautifully explained.

[@greghoughton5993]

So much information. A great learning experience.

[@mullerandre95]

I see that the old shaft has a phonic wheel on it ie. Abs but the new one doesn't have one. If that shaft is used you're going to encounter problems

[@Red-cy4hl]

Hi Andrew and Paul , would love to see a step by step install of the bearing and the cvs

[@carpetpunter158]

Good tip with the reverse gear, we have heaps of old rigs at a property and we're always starting in reverse, not now

[@ralphvanthoff]

Honestly surprised Paul doesn't mention the damaged/corroded surface of the cv knuckle casing @2:48 Dirt and water will enter here, and undo all that love and care that the refurbished inner works of the cv joint receives.

[@RogerM88]

An episode about greasing the shaft. :-D

[@tonibutkovic6511]

Again... amazing knowledge build by experience! Just wooow!

[@EnriqueSonora]

Really enjoy this episode, and the entire series. I am rather partial, I have a LX 470 and all this info is helpful. I wish the parts supplier had more of a U.S. presence, IDK?

[@rztrzt]

There are several outlets for terrain tamer in the usa

[@jefffraser1456]

...listening to a master. Very impressive.

[@adammoodley2722]

My only concern is how do I find a garage that will pay this level of detail to the work they do on my vehicle...

[@slowboat6021]

its a safe bet it won't be the discount franchise mob around the corner. Secondly they won't be cheap. LOL

[@ArdhiRizkiHarahap]

this build series is very informative sir andrew. Thank you. Cheers to paul too

[@Malc664]

Thank goodness for Terrain Tamer hey Andrew. Paul is so meticulous he needs to replace everything.

[@romeomatadi-mushipe8946]

Andrew you mentioned something about an episodes on 40 series....hope you haven't forgotten about it "02:35 - 02:45" mins

[@4xoverland]

I shot a lot of it when I was there, but felt is was not enough. So more is being shot now. So, it's on its way!

[@gzahnd]

Paul needs an auto repair show that you produce. Can I send you my HZJ73 for the next episode?

[@bluecollarstudio8513]

Agreed!

[@jontypaterson2763]

how is this comment 5 days ago??

[@JohnDoe-hy2op]

That would be good, the truck would not say no to this kind of treatment if it could talk. 👍

[@maverick2242]

Jonty Paterson Patreon?

[@gzahnd]

Jonty Paterson because I support Andrew in Patreon, and we get early access to everything. You should become a supporter!
