[@johnmcgreevy742]

I sure do like to watch you work on things! Nice job, and thanks for showing us how it's done!

[@user-mh6zq4hk2x]

Hey buddy I appreciate the video Always thought they were impossible to do, but you made it seem so easy Thank you very much for your time

[@isaaccharles1189]

Great video semi working that was a perfect repair and reassemble your videos are educating me all the way forward keep them coming now I know how to replace that peterbilt spring eye thanks for this video God bless

[@jorgefonseca9225]

Yes great work fellas 👏 I do exactly but in middle of the road at -22 winter time here in Norway the damm bushing broken and I can not driving so I luck because always I have a few sparparts with me!! This is a one of the best things we need check every time before we start driving!! Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴

[@truckin3799]

Yes and the springs like to break just behind this casting too, good area to check and keep an eye on

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I run mono spring tri-axle dump chassis Your in a turn they pop like a gun. snap clean into. I'm only hauling about 20,800 kg +the 20ft container on a 40 ft tri axles dump chassis.

[@harpreetsinghmann777]

Can we change only rubber and bushings instead of changing whole eye?

[@raybin6873]

Just hafta add...nothing beats the mighty smoke wrench!

[@andyg817]

Ray yep , and the air gun seems sluggish a bit, but great work..

[@reevertransport3979]

Agreed. I have this to do today and dont have a smoke wrench. I actually have a broken leaf spring on the Air Leaf so it will be fun.

[@MikeB229]

Great video as usual.

[@randyruppel6727]

Gonna sound counterintuitive, but heat the bolt heads up cherry red, let them cool off till they are almost gray/black and hit em with the impact. Works for me. Work on equipment now more than trucks, but did the trick to one of our old 325 bottom roller bolts. Every bolt minus one broke. Anyway figured I'd share, if its something you aren't replacing obviously. Just subbed, keep em coming man

I have this same set up, do you know where to place the jack stands? Or is it not necessary.

[@ArturoGonzalez-gw4rt]

Nice job brother

Old school air tool 😊

[@lechido9288]

Keep doing your job and ignore the "experts".

[@johnwaby4321]

That was tuff one to take apart 👍👍

[@rtz549]

What's the little bolt do under the huge one?

[@isaacmontoya9144]

Just a spacer.

[@JLC-2334]

Did you have to jack the frame up at all ?

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Since the truck is in the shop do you replace all 4 sets at once?

[@rustychevy2087]

I would imagine they are all dry rotted and about the same age so that would probably be the smart thing. One of mine went bad im just going to replace the set on that axle tho

[@tbone8560]

HELLO can you just replace the shock stud on air leaf

[@tylertucker4478]

How do you tell if those big bushings are bad tho?

[@rustychevy2087]

On this one it was dry rotted and pushing out, might be harder to see if yours are covered in grease. On my truck it started falling apart cause of the dry rot and when I was doing my pre trip and checking the tires with a hammer I noticed the wheel rocking back and forth slightly. Checking all of them now, should replace them before they fall apart obviously lol. I'm just wondering if he had to support the axle or spring to remove the spring eye. it looks like he didn't but then did with a jack stand to put it back on

[@isaacmontoya9144]

Nice

[@greglechowski5030]

Seems way more complicated than it needs to be….. oh wait…. It’s a Peterbilt….so it’s standard opening procedure….

[@reevertransport3979]

The Western Star, I had before the Pete had the Hendrickson air ride, was much easier to work on. I could replace entire spring assembly on & off before this one is torn apart.

[@scottberry5266]

Time for a new impact gun???

[@raybin6873]

Why did it need repaing?

[@peterbilt898]

The bushings were wore out

[@raybin6873]

@@peterbilt898 Ah! Ok...thanks!

[@gonecountry246]

​@@peterbilt898 How much will it help the ride of the truck? I have a 1993 Pete 379 that has a floppy ride at any speed even on a perfectly smooth road.
