How To Inspect The Spindle Nuts On Your HMMWV

[@davidsample2723]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to show every step of the process. Your attention to detail makes it much less likely for a beginner to make a mistake or skip something. Looking forward to more videos!

[@Godthepredator]

Nicely done, as you suggested I did that as soon as I got mine, also ran fuel additives and oil additives with the oil change. I noticed a positive change with the performance. Keep up the great content

Amazing brother, good to see you back! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

[@dailydrivenH2]

nice clip . in the past i had fill plugs brake on me so i always start from the fill than move down to the drain later just in case .

[@jaimem3466]

I would use yellow thread tape since its rated for fuel applications. Great video.

[@astr0creep6x6x6]

I believe that white Teflon tape is the same as yellow Teflon tape, only the thicknesses differ. Red Teflon tape is even thicker.

Watching more of your videos. You've got great video documentation of all the important steps to maintain a hmmwv/h1. Nice work!

[@michaelmahoney5885]

Great review of service on the hubs.

[@jasonkhoda8441]

Hello Dear. Thank you for all the information you shared with everyone

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

If you're going to replace your spindle nuts, replace them with the Bluehummer/MM Stage 8 Locking Spindle nuts. They are much easier to install correctly and there are NO KNOWN losses of wheels due to product defects with them (one spindle let go due to incorrect installation of the a nut, and thats it). The stock spindle nuts have a very time-sensitive installation process that - if its not followed exactly, will result in your wheel going byebye on the highway. Solution to not having your air impact on hand - Dewalt 20V impact wrench. Those plugs are only supposed to be torqued to 13lbs-ft but for some reason people really crank them in there.

Nice job. As always thanks for the thorough instruction video.

[@bab00ne]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to do it. I have a question if you don't mind sharing, around 13:05 you have a video of your hmmwv with commercial wheels and tires. What are the dimensions on those? rim size, offset, ect. Thanks

[@JADA121603]

Good to see you back at it buddy.... I have had my gear oil for 6 months , i think ill get off my ass and change it today.., or fix my leaking rear brakes , ...or the oil pressure... lol

[@DLR-gz6tv]

Nice! Glad you are getting back to the videos!

[@giantpinkrabbit7109]

What a nice surprise to see a new video. Hope you are all good! Best regards from Germany! Keep it up!

[@wuilderhund]

Great video! Happy New Jear :-) Was wir heute tun, skizziert das Gemälde von morgen ...

[@DG-ou8hx]

Great job

[@astr0creep6x6x6]

Solid work.

[@sudarson123]

great video. Can we add a disk brake on the wheel rather than the one near the differential ?

[@markcarlson5981]

Thanks Dakota for another great video. My problem is every drain plug at the bottom of the hub is stripped. Do you have any tips for getting them out? Thanks!

[@oresteskindelan4655]

You are great man.Thank you for share this video.

[@MrChryslerImperial]

Good mechanic ... compliments ...

[@johntuffeau1412]

Un grand merci de la France et meilleurs vœux à vous 🇫🇷👍

[@Team_Amateur_RC]

Great video. I’m going to try this out next weekend

[@angelflores0726]

Amazing work thanks brother

[@ggga6756]

Great video. Can you tell me please where can I buy tires for a Hummve?

[@Marty-Airborne]

your first picture was my first problem !!! lol

[@mikefortunato9800]

Can a 2 door truck bed style humvee be converted to a 4 seater easily? I assume there is just a cover over the footwell area where you can mount seats, and install new doors and supports?

[@astr0creep6x6x6]

with $$$ being the only hindering factor. Chincy rear seats should already be there, a rear "C-pillar" will be necessary, and the 4-door top side rails will also be required along with the rear curtain wall. And doors. And the choice between a hard top or a soft top. Most of what you need can be fabricated from aluminum. or whatever you are comfortable with, IF you do not want to purchase new or old stock from like the 5 sellers in the USA.

[@twinshobbytwinshobby3863]

Very well and explained in detail. Thank you 🙂

[@josevalencia2561]

Great content. Really helpful.

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

I believe hmmwvs have locking threads on the lug nuts. All my hmmwvs have been like that.

[@jbremer29]

Nice video, thanks.

[@MuradAkram]

Hey dude, I was wondering if you can answer few questions? After buying this Humvee from the auction site, how hard was/is it to get the plates for it, how much state tax you paid when getting the plates and what type of insurance you got and how much does it cost? thanks in advance

[@arturocruz9110]

Good question, any answers??

[@corywood4458]

Great video cuz

[@texassingh1027]

Thanks for sharing, 2 questions; 1) what is the rating of your floor jack and stands? I assume 6000lbs weight for the truck. 2) if I want new wheels/rims. Do they have to ride on the hub and not the studs?

[@alainvaldes2869]

Great video ! Thanks !!

[@markcanfield9709]

Do you have a recommendation of where to buy a Spindle Nut Kit ? Mod Mafia seems expensive.

[@alainvaldes2869]

Can you do a video related to humvee street legal in Florida ?

[@m998hmmwv7]

Any thoughts on using some limited slip differential oil additive in your hubs? As always great video. Thanks for posting

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Lucas Hub Oil.

[@joshuareynolds7982]

First and foremost. Never use antisieze on lingnuts. They rely on clamping force to keep the wheel on. So using anti seize could cause the lignite to come loose

[@MrChryslerImperial]

I see he loves thread locker .. personally I dont .. if AM General used it , he would be in trouble loosening these bolts ..

[@MisterThinko]

WTF teflon tape?

[@DakotaWoodHD]

What is wrong with Teflon tape on the threads? When the vehicle was in service, they use either thread tape or paste to help seal these plugs. Before I reinstall, I removed the old thread sealer, then applied new tape. These plugs are steel and not brass.

[@MisterThinko]

@@DakotaWoodHD teflon is NOT sealer. Teflon dont seal. Fine tread and purpose liqid on tread seal

[@astr0creep6x6x6]

@@MisterThinko teflon does seal. It is thread-sealing tape. White, yellow, red, or green Teflon tapes are all the same material just at different thicknesses.
