[@stevencoyne4971]

Brilliant yet again Struggling Struggler !Brilliant !👍👍

[@jimmy2ice]

Just found your page ain’t stopped all morning watching you. You look to be a proper mechanic, I like listening to my dad’s old stories from when he was a mechanic in the early 70’s, hrs & hrs on the side of the road or lay-by

[@Professional-struggler]

Cheers pal 👍 Me to James! I love to listen to the older generation, we like a good memory 😀

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Another good video Chris 🚚🚜🚛👏👏👏👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@adamsuch1058]

Love your channel buddy 👍 always get anxiety doing centre bearings, only been at it a year but paranoid im gonna damage the prop with grinder when cutting the race 😂😂

[@frankblack1481]

I wonder did the unbalance from the mis-positioned flange cause the center bearing to fail?

[@user-ox4eu3xi3s]

watched a few of your videos now, one of the most realistic people ive seen, none of this bullshit you only need snap on tools and make sure you do this and that, you do what works!

[@Professional-struggler]

Cheers you tube... no wonder my views are going up 😆! Neeer most of the time you just need an adjustable and a hammer 🤣 thanks for watching mate 👍

3/8 gun snap on 3/8 ratchet Milwaukee 3/8 right angle impact Milwaukee 1/2 gun snap on brushless (beast) 3/4 Milwaukee (mode 4 nut busting awesome) Die grinder Milwaukee Grinder snap on & dewalt Impact driver dewalt Drill dewalt Sounds excessive but makes my life easier especially off site or in the yard

[@Professional-struggler]

Jesus rob you’ve invested in some gear, I know there priceless when your off site! It’s like the grinders before you needed a Jenny extension leads etc, makes life so much easier with battery power!

[@slatemytakeaway6400]

The bearing inner race is not seized on . . .its an interference fit to stop it spinning, and should be pressed on.

[@brentsmith5647]

Brilliant video thank u 😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Jhampa108]

LEDGE, Love your vids mate , thanks

[@Professional-struggler]

Cheers Afrikan! 👍

[@Jimmythefish577]

Love when the guy before you thinks about the next guy that might have to work on it, so he puts never seize on the splines. When you find that, your faith in humanity is restored. Real mechanics always think about the next guy!

[@Professional-struggler]

I know as soon as you see it you think ... yesss 👍

[@calm4477]

Did the centre bearing wear prematurely because of the previous misalignment? Nice work, enjoying your channel 👍

[@harveybray1804]

Just come accross your channel you get stuck in no matter what the conditions mechanics of today want it in a warm workshop good luck to you and others like you who get on with it

[@Professional-struggler]

i used to just getting the job done, cheers harvey

[@mickyb90]

love the videos chris

[@neilkay159]

Chris about 5yra ago I told a garage boss his mechanism hadn't lined rhe shaft up right when the centre bearing went on the truck I was driving. He got under had a look..Got back from under my motor apologised and walked over and sacked the mechanic..I said to garage boss I didn't want to get the lad sacked!! He told he was bloody useless..And told the lad "Even the driver saw it before he drove it out the yard.. Why didn't you?" Seems like he was a lazy bugger who took twice as long to do a job. I felt bad about complaining!

[@Professional-struggler]

By the sounds of it they was looking for an excuse to sack him! I know what you mean though I’d feel the same, .... aaar poor lad. Thanks for that Neil 👍 and cheers for watching pal

[@JoshuaJones-gb9ih]

Another top vid mate I see you’ve got some makita stuff and Milwaukee what would you say is the best to go for the old dewalts give notice and wondering what to replace it with thanks

[@Professional-struggler]

I’ve only got makita mate! that how to on the grease gun was a customers, it’s a good bit of kit, but expensive. I really don’t know what the best is mate I would think they all piss in the same pot😁 once you’ve got one you tend not to change because of the price of batteries

[@ericjones2392]

I'm a builder and ur making me want to change career 🤣

[@philglover2973]

Top job top man awsome⛟🚛🚜🚛🚚

[@RobertSmith-fv3ux]

Lucky 2 in one day . The bit you were talking about is called a yolk Get some bigger battery impact gun 🔫 can't live without my 3/4 inch be good only a few more sleeps to go

[@Professional-struggler]

What make power tools you got rob? I know Milwaukee is supposed to be the best but the price 😪 yeah 3/4 would be a good investment! I use my air one a lot chambers, shockers etc.

[@Professional-struggler]

And 🎄🎅🏼😬

[@markmawson1]

That mis-alignment of the prop was probably the cause of the centre bearing going out

[@hazzagawa]

Which model makita is that?

[@joyrider7421]

makita impact gun when you buy it register it on my makita uk and your warranty goes from 1 year to 3 years

[@stemartin6671]

I started out life working for mercs and trust me, their shit lol Even on the sprinters those centre bearings are made of toffee lol

[@Professional-struggler]

🤣 if you start with the shit things can only get better stem

@@Professional-struggler you've got to Chris mate haha with a bit of luck I might get out of the dirty overalls one day 😜

[@russellmcallister6830]

Is that a wee 3/8 gun u have pal

[@Professional-struggler]

No it’s a wee 1/2” one! It’s a good bit of kit to Russell

[@hfraat25]

Probably why the bearing has gone miss lined

[@gdfggggg]

I expect cause that yolk wasn’t lined up that’s what ruined the bearing.

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Go prepped with the grinder and thing falls apart typical Looks like it aint been on long and the last spanner monkey didn't have the knowledge to align the yokes up and its probably shak itself to bits prematurely

[@Professional-struggler]

Yeah your right pal that’s probably what’s happened 👍 grinder 🥺.... no not me 🤣

[@davidsstfarrelltighe]

Chris I've the big m18 1/2 milwaukee it's a fucking monster and dead handy.

[@Professional-struggler]

I’ve heard Milwaukee’s are stud snappers if your not careful 👍 I would be making more work for my self by the sound of it😂

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Don’t mechanics wear overalls anymore ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Me-oo4yu]

How many times did you twat yer head on that centre bearing mount bracket?? I was forever doing it! 😄
