My Landcruiser Part 3: CV Repair

[@kelvin869]

Kudos to you. I can't even get my wife to fill a washer bottle or air her tyres. You are a great role model for young girls to get intimate with their vehicles. Great work.

[@larrylandry6160]

Well done, gotta love a woman who knows her way around a cruiser and ain't scared to get dirty. Cheers!

[@DanieSimpson]

Why thank you:)

[@tonymunn]

I have a 25 year old daughter and she doesn't trust mechanics and does her auto repairs herself. Her resource is me and excellent KZbin videos such as this. For Christmas it is always tools from me. She loves it. Thank you.

[@DanieSimpson]

That is awesome to hear!

[@quintinlauwrens1162]

As a Toyota mechanic I can say, good job. She'll be right!!

[@DanieSimpson]

Haha love it, cheers!

Well done girl, I'm sure there are lots of Landcruiser owners that would love to have you in the family

[@IanSolomons73]

Including me! As my wife. Your my kinda gal. Ping me when you're in SA. I'll show you around in my fortuner. You'll be right at home. Awesome work! I'm in love. Our relationship will be committed. Like, liked and subscribed 😘🤗

Hi Danie, great upload, I have to do a bearing this weekend before I head off on the Christmas trip, glad you uploaded this video, I'll be using it as a walk through. Great upload, 75series owners need to stick together. 😂👏. Kudos.

[@DanieSimpson]

Heck yeah:) have a lovely Christmas trip!

[@deriusnorris4463]

This is still one of your best videos. Thanks

[@adamthomas892]

You ma'am are awesome. Kudos to you for for correctly hand packing that bearing, getting greasy, and fixing your own stuff in your driveway.

Excellent vid, informative, easy to follow and entertaining. I just stumbled across this channel by accident and like “real” / non fake approach by an easy going presenter... Bravo!!!

[@clivehorridge]

I’ve only just come across this great channel, you’re not only an accomplished mechanic (unlike most fitters these days) you’re a great tuber, replying to almost all comments and taking note of feedback. I just love Land Cruisers, especially my old HZJ80, no ECUs, no computers, no turbo, it’s just a grunt diesel tractor🤣. “Needs testing” I like it, any excuse 🤣. Take care Danie from a Brit in Romania 🇷🇴🇬🇧

[@MrOgre1110]

Good video Danie, I am suprised you didn't have any mates helping you, personally I love helping mates fix busted stuff or fitting upgrades, especially suspension Haha Nothing wrong with using the tools you have, I am always amazed what a person can pull apart with a 3/8 socket set and a Philips screwdriver

[@DanieSimpson]

Yeah nothing in this task is really a two person job. And yeah you don't need much

[@MrOgre1110]

You went well and best of all, I am sure you have encouraged other people to give it a go. A tip I seen when setting the bearing preload I guess you would call it, if you can find one of them old torque wrenches with the gauge and long pointer type dials put your big socket on and when you turn it will show the torque if that makes sense.

[@DanieSimpson]

@@MrOgre1110 yeah torque meter they are pretty handy

[@mjhmech4903]

22:23 A shovel spade actually works REALLY well for positioning heavy / large wheels back onto the hubs Danie. Similar method to what you used but a shovel / spade gives you better leverage and control plus will not sink into soft ground. You use the tip of the spade to support the bottom of the tyre so the heal of the shovel/ spade then acts as a fulcrum. A lot less effort required. All the best from the West :)

I don't have a concrete slab and this is how I work on my own rig. Jacks (factory and highlift) stands, timber and tie-downs for bolt-hole realignment. Makes you think outside the box and eliminates that idealist thought process where people can't do a job because they haven't got the ideal set-up area or tooling. "Just get 'er done!"
