Land Rover LT230 - fitting bearings and a little about preloading

Information on fitting bearings and preloads - not what I had in mind as I had to get on with the customers job, but I will do a full overhaul of a LT230 and maybe a high ratio conversion in a later video
As KZbin have moved the goals to become monetized, and I have a niche channel, funding is never going to happen, so I have set up a Patreon as I would like to get a higher speed upload, which means I get post more videos, AND in 1080
Takes me about 2.5 hours to upload a 15 minutes at the moment.
I will be giving credits to my supporters at the end of my videos from now on. I am very grateful to one and all!

Hi, congratulations for the video, information on the size of the bearing with seal

[@williamkennedy4264]

Another great vid on assembly Mike.

[@harveysmith100]

Another great video. Your engineering background shows through. In the video you used your half inch ratchet with the lever in the circular head, never seen one like that before, what make is it. I am a tool nerd, no other explanation!

It is a cheap Canadian Tire ratchet - now discontinued I buy their tools on special and they all have a lifetime unlimited warranty www.canadiantire.ca/content/canadian-tire/en/hot-deals/tools-hardware.html?adlocation=ST_ToolsHardwareDeals_HOS_en

Thanks! Really helpful

More GOOD TIPS , cheers MIKE, stay well.

Thanks! I really wanted to do a transfer case overhaul, but I didn't film it all as I had to get the job done! Mike

OT, at least here, but do you think you could do a vid (n you do have a 300TDi in bits ) about pump flow versus pressure ( you know, pumps crate flow, restriction...) , and explain the 'oil wedge' that a main or big end "bearing" creates. I understand it, but lots don't, and you are a natural teacher.

I was thinking of doing this with a video about the 300Tdi oil pump

Caliber not caliper

Britannica Restorations for what i know in iltaly is called "calibro". In eanglish is called caliber. For istance if you go in google translate and translate from italian calibro in eanglesh would be caliber.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It seems the the original word caliber is a 16th century word that became caliper in modern English, so perhaps you are right in using Google translate in Italian, which is Latin based, however in engineering terms for the last 200+ years, caliper is the word used From Wikipedia : A caliper is a device used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object Thank you for your interest! Mike

[@onwheels8232]

Britannica Restorations that's intresting. Good to know. Cheers from italy.
