24:13 OH DAMN YOURE THE MAN ELMER!! We gotta send you our new hat crew pack!!

[@TekamoHD]

whoa that's a fancy dark titanium impact you got there. New truck, new impact? Elmer over here making moves eh?

[@theforkliftguy]

Real G’s move in silence like lasagna 😂 🤫 thanks man.

[@JoshD-FortisHD]

Full watch Party this morning at the Office! Nicely done

[@theforkliftguy]

What an honor! Thank you Josh!

[@IamHenshaw]

Instead of beating on the axle hub, Yale/Hyster has spots were you can run the bolts into to pull the axle hubs out.

[@theforkliftguy]

You’re 100% right. I noticed that as I finished the second side. Good catch.

[@joepacheco4038]

Faster with BFH. Jack bolts last resort ​@@theforkliftguy

[@steelcrusher]

awesome work yet again and very detailed. 👍👍definitely need one of those impact drills though for real! waiting patiently for that truck tour lol 👍👍

Keep doing these videos man, I’m still learning and your content is a gold mine of information. Practical application gold. Thank you!

[@theforkliftguy]

I appreciate the support brother! I got lots of content coming soon 🔥🙏

[@aaroncoleman6317]

Can’t wait! Been watching your videos all day, just found your channel. Best out there for real!

[@chrisurban5572]

Good content, as a fellow plant/forklift fitter watching from the UK i enjoy your Videos. Keep it up 👍

[@theforkliftguy]

Thank you, Chris! 🙏

[@TekamoHD]

LOL around here we call brake jobs just bj's so I couldn't stop laughing throughout the first minute and a bit of the video hahahahha

[@theforkliftguy]

😂😂😂😂 I wish I would have known this before filming. I used some poor choice of words.

[@motionsick]

cool channel, nice truck setup, subscribed.

[@reytech1786]

You are the MAN! Make more videos get a patreon bro you be a hit

[@theforkliftguy]

I have a patreon 🤘 link in the bio

[@thedefenestrator2994]

Good stuff man, been watching these as I’m starting as a Crown tech in the next month. My only recommendation is to wear just anything to cover your nose and mouth when dealing with brake dust. I’ve seen what that stuff looks like under a microscope, and I don’t mess with it. I use a 3M respirator rated for Asbestos handlers.

[@theforkliftguy]

Very good point! 👍🏼 thank you!

Good job the wheel leaning up the forks slide it under the truck or block the side aswell ive know them tilt cyls creep back 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦊

[@bravodad62]

When you find out that brakes can be purchased back plate full assembly then your day gets way better🎉

[@theforkliftguy]

@@bravodad62 where do you buy that???

[@joepacheco4038]

Maybe for a plant mechanic. Hard sell for field mechanic. 48 yrs as a field mec very few customers want to spend extra, they have a yearly budget.

[@vxtech1]

@@joepacheco4038it's actually faster to replace entire assemblies including backing plant and park brake cables, plus it's a complete brake job, versus going back to replace park cable, labor isn't cheap, around $175.hr, dealer rate

[@carlosreyes6954]

Wow excellent video

[@TopZ92]

Only recommendations are anaerobic flange sealant and using a reverse bleeder will make it easier to one man bleed the brakes

[@davidt305]

Elmer is making moves 👀🔥🎥

[@rogerthomas1982]

Those axles have two threaded holes that you can run the same bolts into to pull the axle right out. Also, when the brakes can be "pumped up" that usually indicates air in the system and/or the shoes need adjusting out.

[@theforkliftguy]

Yes sir! 👍🏼 you’re 100% correct. Thank you for catching that.

[@nathanmack5514]

Instead of hammering the axle out there are two threaded holes offset to allow bolts to push the cover out. It's a lot easier.

[@theforkliftguy]

@@nathanmack5514 you’re right 💯 i noticed that a little too late

[@dannyperez9917]

I find anaerobic sealant does a pretty good job for axles as well.

[@theforkliftguy]

Very good point. I use that as well with other components, but never on axles. I’ll give that a try next time. Do you use the loctite brand or a different brand?

[@dannyperez9917]

Me personally i use the Permatex brand works pretty well, i use it alot when im re sealing drive units, drive motors etc! Btw love the videos man

[@theforkliftguy]

@@dannyperez9917 nice! i appreciate it Danny.

[@lewisdonald766]

Official hyster is to use loctite 515 but

[@theforkliftguy]

@@lewisdonald766 I have some 515. I use that next time for sure!

@ 4:17 Spanner nut and Locking Washer. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, It's been so long but whoever it was turned to me with a glare when I was young, "Spanner nut and locking Washer", he growled. I guess that's why I never forgot.

[@theforkliftguy]

You’re correct. No worries, I’m actually really bad at remembering technical terms and I’m trying to get better at it as I’m filming lol.

[@javiergonzalez9077]

@@theforkliftguy A woman walked up behind me and said "Javier why do you write things then cross them out". Because I think wrongly probably, that it helps me remember what they're called. Go hard and fast at life young brah, don't even look back. the best to and your loved ones.

[@joepacheco4038]

If you can pump up the pedal and it holds , wouldn't that be a brake adjustment needed?

[@theforkliftguy]

@@joepacheco4038 potentially, yes. Once you pump it up, does it hold the whole time? Or does it go back down to the floor? In that case, the master cylinder or wheel cylinders are bad. Wheel cylinders could be leaking internally.

[@joepacheco4038]

@@theforkliftguy going to let you think about w/cylinder internal leaking. Not trying to bust em , have more years as field mechanic , plus shop foreman for Cat then I can remember lol seen just everything with lift trucks . Started with Towmotor and ended with Toyota 1965 - 2016. Have a lot of knowledge to pass on if I can remember lol be careful stay safe

I always use brake cleaner 1st then blow it out,less dust to worry about

[@theforkliftguy]

Smart move. I’ll try that next time.

[@ericmorales3146]

Is it worth it getting into forklifts? How much do y’all make yearly? I want to leave construction and small engine repairs. I don’t want to go back to automotive.

[@theforkliftguy]

@@ericmorales3146 I truly mean this, it’s the best industry to be in. It’s the perfect in between, automotive and construction/heavy equipment. I think you’ll enjoy it, it’s not always fun but it’s very rewarding. You earn depending on experience, proficiency, and dependability. Be dependable, don’t be afraid to go to a difficult service call, and always be willing to learn.
