[@DGHD]

Thanks man

[@stevehancock1698]

yep patience is a virtue i suspect going from a 1810 yolk to a 1760 or 1780 yolk proves that in the video when just about everything now a days is 1810 i suspect rich put a 1760 in her

[@Onewheelordeal]

We owe a salute to somewhere back in time guy with the anti-seize. That yoke battle is exactly how every job is going for me lately, the crazy increase in vehicle value is bringing out all the junkers.

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, just a few secs to dab some never sneeze, future you/someone else will thank you.

[@LongPeter]

I'm hoping there will be an episode that cold-opens with Rich shaving in front of a mirror. The camera pans back to reveal that the mirror is in fact the front bumper of this truck.

[@chrisharris8727]

Great job Rich that beast looks fantastic. My heart goes out to you on removing transmission yokes I’ve been there many moons ago at a junk yard laying on my back in oil water and who knows what other fluids with every hammer, chisel, pry bars, impact sockets etc etc for hours retrieving discontinued parts for customers that want there truck back on the road yesterday. Keep up the great content - you make a retired truck mechanic here in the UK very happy 👍🏻👍🏻

I don't get why people don't. Grease is cheap, it makes your life easier in the long run and well, it's just proper and right. I had to do the oil on the family SUV today, any panels moved for access had their fittings smothered in copper slip before replacement

[@douglasboyle6544]

Anti-seize? I thought you asked for the LocTite

[@Psyberdream]

Pulled a 64 GMC pickup off a farm. This old farmer was OCD about Anti-seize I came to find out. This thing had sat for at least 30 years, still had the split rims on it. Not one broken bolt, not one. The brake bleeders even opened. Made a instant convert outta me.

[@jaredidler9378]

That place is when that job inevitably comes back to them again, my apprentice was cursing some seized torque rod bolts, and he was the last one to do them on that unit LOL.

You 'electric toothbrush' scrubber is the most Canadian thing I have every seen on KZbin!!

[@stevemcrichards8768]

The Kenworth K100 is an iconic rig and your creation is really coming together here. The little things are what makes it right and are needed to finish the project properly. Galvanic corrosion is why anti-seize was made and that darn output shaft yoke is a lesson in why it's used (a few more gray hairs there). I would also be interested in what you are going to do to the interior of the cab over as well (let future Rich handle it).

[@morgansword]

I don't know how you keep it together Rich... its one hell of a fighter build.. not easy but you are probably one of very few that could muscle through it all.. quite proud of your work and dedication

[@divadyrdnal]

JB Weld, industrial strength “bondo” Love the sawsall steel brush, I have used the same tool myself…I used hose clamps instead of tie wraps. Worked like a charm!

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

I am a big fan of never seize. Like you finding it on the yoke, I found it had been used on the front end of a Lincoln I owned and the discovery turned a dreaded front air suspension replacement on a twenty year old Ontario car into a nice easy job. Made my day. Thinking about it still brings a smile to my face nearly 10 years later. 😁

[@temueralagaluga8279]

Hey rich, I make custom exhausts for trucks, gen sets, dozers, automotive ect. I noticed your “flex pipe dump” and just wanted to let you know that the flex shouldn’t be “flexed” it’s to stop the exhaust from cracking when the engine twists ect, so if you already have the flex, flexed it just tends to shear the flex so I’d recommend a solid fabricated bend section and run the flex on the straight section so it has room to flex. But awesome job love the videos and the truck super keen to see it done! Congrats from Australia 🇦🇺

[@1one3_Racing]

You can run the power steering pump through the cab jack so when the engine is running you flick the up/down lover and it pumps up the cab! Or get a small electric hydraulic pump fir a car lift. They work well too

[@craighearn747]

I drilled holes in the saw all blade and screwed the blade to the handles. All hail the anti-seize guy.

[@hansh8071]

That last driveshaft yoke was probably the little ray of sunshine you needed Rich 😉 Amazing work as always, grtz from Utrecht nl.

Wow incredible patience with that yoke ordeal. I would have been throwing more than just expletives across the shop. Imagine trying to change that yoke out in the field, stuff of nightmares. Good work Rich!

I just spent the better part of a week removing my yoke to replace the leaking output shaft seal and rebuild my driveshaft on my T600. I 1000% sympathise with all the crap you went through.

Hell yeah Rich , I caught the Bobby Daren in the back blasting the oldie reminds me of working with my uncle !

[@Nza420]

I agree that the sawzall toothbrush was a great idea... I will have to try that sometime. On another point, someone criticized me in the comments of my "Will it Drive" video for torching the rollers out of a stuck bearing on a Dana 70 so I could get it off.. While I am not glad you had to torch that yoke off, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who is wary, but not afraid to torch something off when necessary. Sometimes, you just have to. (edit): And mine wasn't even rusty... not even close to Ontario rust, eh.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Usually when crap is old and rusted together the only thing to always do, if its doesn't come apart on your first couple attempts, just cut it off. I once tried to remove a coupler from an old hitch receiver and no matter how much I tried it wasn't gonna let go. You think the bloody thing was welded together for heaven sakes, so I just grab the torches and just cut the stupid hitch off all together. After I fought it for a couple hours. That's why I stopped working with old pieces of crap and become a welder fitter so I didn't have to work with rusted pieces of crap anymore. It can drive a man insane. My heart felt for ya, cause, I've been there a many of times.
