Boy that clutch jack was well worth the effort, you made that look easy.

[@57bagre]

Thanks Eric.

[@MrFakit]

As a professional armchair heavy duty mechanic I disapprove of the lack of beer in this vijayo.

[@dave1135]

That tool you made to support the clutch and flywheel is pretty handy. Just a old input shaft welded to a plate then bolted to a harbor freight trans jack.

[@dave1135]

Gordon Robertson did it give you problems on reassembly? Looks ok It went back together pretty Smoothly.

[@EduardoSilva-xe3gp]

" but it's my truck" hahaha you have a real good feel for torque by hand good job Sr

[@57bagre]

I get by. Thanks for watching.

[@gurpreetsinghsandhu9168]

Brother I just love ur trani shaft tool for installing flywheel . Good job Gordon and thanks for teaching . now I will make that tool and make life easier to install clutch and flywheel

[@57bagre]

I hope it works good for you.Thanks for watching.

[@donfichter5312]

Gordon I love your videos very educational I learn an awful lot watching it inspires me to do mechanical work I've always left to the shops keep up the good work always look forward to your videos stay safe

[@chrischiampo7647]

Amazing Job So Far Gordon The Improvised Clutch Jack is Sweet Cant Wait Till Part 4 😀😮😀

[@57bagre]

part 4 in about an hour.

[@dharmen37]

no chain around the transmission man you are brave . very nice video nicely explained keep it going sir

[@lushadchamindaalwis6703]

We learn something from you same job we’re four people doing but I learn from you how to do it alone it’s very hard good job

[@57bagre]

I hope you get it finished soon. Thanks for watching.

[@robpeters5204]

It's a dam shame more drivers weren't like you Gord. The world would be a better place for sure. So many truckers out there love to run their mouth and they can't do shit to save themselves. My belief is that if you can't identify the parts of a truck correctly and cannot repair the basic services with basic hand tools, you're steering wheel holder.

[@williamzoom]

No hot spots on the flywheel, I knew you were a good driver :)

[@57bagre]

I try.

[@mrwilliambrave7556]

Compliments sir.....True craftsmanship!👍

[@csgnjaxnc]

Where did you get your transmission jack at..? and does it come with the Jack or is it a piece that you bought for the top of a jack... it looks like a special Jack or is it just any transmission jack.... By the way I love watching your videos you are a very good teacher

[@mrtomdorn]

I use a come-along attached to rear yoke removal and attached to the front axle for installing. TD Atlanta

[@yovanidiaz9693]

Saludos desde mexico usted solo bajando esa enorme caja. Guaoooooo imprecionante

[@jesustrevizo3148]

Is that a harbor freight transmission jack?

[@lukereynolds9907]

Great job mate but you should think about putting a small strap on the gearbox I always do had a few come off

[@dave1135]

luke reynolds yeah, its no fun to be taking it down or putting it back up and have the trans roll off. Nothing you can do but get out of the way. There's no strong arm holding that. Used to help do older trucks that had a large cover you could remove, the old mechanic I worked for had a small winch that sat in the cab above the trans that we could lower the trans with. Was much safer than a trans jack

[@raymondpeters8106]

This is awesome!!

[@aaronthompson5047]

What’s the specs on your clutch Jack ?

[@frednewman2162]

What was the battery for that was underneath truck? Are you going to have a video on rear seal?

[@57bagre]

The battery is for the camera monitor and camera charger so I can see what's going on the camera and so the camera won't shut off when on standby on it's own battery. Thanks for watching.

[@zelmd8963]

I was expected to see how you do the seal :(

[@57bagre]

Seal is coming. I wanted to finish the clutch series 1st

[@benjaminduke48]

Excellent video, excellent prep, excellent information. Do you have any shots of checking his much wear you have left on the flywheel. How much more time do you think it would have taken to take off the next housing and check the rear engine block or back ports for leaks, and reseal it back in place? Thanks for putting these repair videos out huge help in understanding these big projects.

[@57bagre]

I turned the flywheel last clutch about 8 years ago. It looks fine to me. No time for extra work on it, my job was crying for me to get back.

[@ItsNicolasNotNic]

What caused you to have to do this work?

[@jeffersonmoctezuma3733]

Sorry might have missed it but do u need to take out some bolts in then inspection hole or does it slide right out

[@57bagre]

Do what I did and it comes out, nothing in the hole to take out. Thanks for watching.

[@Bocheap]

Are you using loctite on your bolts?

[@joshuaderstine4133]

I need to change bull gear on volvo. Would you recommend taking clutch out with the transmission?

[@57bagre]

You don't take the transmission down for the bull gear but you do take the oil pan off and you can do the main bearings at that time if you want unless you plan to do an in frame soon.

[@jameson6930]

You make things so simple.

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching.

[@micmike]

Hello Sir, just wanted to say that there are many who don't criticize what you're doing in these videos compared to the few who just can't demonstrate the self control to keep their opinions to them selves. So, just ignore them and keep your camera rolling please

[@erem02]

Hi, how do you call that special jack used to lower down the trans please? Thanks

[@57bagre]

Heavy duty transmission jack.

[@nukenridge4921]

Is there a alignment pin I can buy online for freightliner bell housing

[@57bagre]

I never had a need to replace a dowel pin on a bell housing but I'm sure you can order one from a freightliner dealer, I would just go to a heavy truck transmission shop and they would probably just knock one out of a junk transmission for free.

[@nukenridge4921]

@@57bagre I have 5 Trucks that I will remove some bolts.But I am thinking of buying the right tool or a set

Yep, it's hard to keep from knocking things over.

[@archiedavenport1180]

How much money do you think you saved yourself by doing this instead of a shop doing it for u sir?

[@57bagre]

Probably $800 to $1000

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Great job 😃👍

[@bigbigjohnlee666]

if ya ask me ya kinda did it the hard way man, I Always unbolt the clutch first completely then all the bottom bell bolts slide the jack in under it throw a ratchet strap over it snag the top 4 bell bolts pry it back about a 1/2 inch and then your out clutch comes down with the trans lot less work and also I put em in the same way, from start to finish I can have a clutch out and back in adjusted probably 5 to 6 hours if i'm taking my time, I've had to hurry before and done one in just under 4 hours thats just the a bit of advice, sometimes ya get a hand hold that really deep with a short steep angle and you cant access the clutch bolts ya have to do it the old way, but the old school macks with the great big maxiforce trans the ones that are like 5 foot long just absolutely huge the ONLY way you'll ever get a trans in or out of one is to pull the clutch and trans at the same time just a time saver thats all

[@57bagre]

I'll try that next time.

[@bigbigjohnlee666]

its weird the first time but it can cut a clutch install time in half or more. if ya do it that way a couple times youll ask yourself why ya didnt do it sooner lol great videos man

[@57bagre]

Thanks.

[@cheguevara5560]

@@57bagre Gordon you do it your way ,yes he is right you can remove gear box and clutch together .You have keep turning fly wheel and keep taking all bolts from clutch pressure plate one by one through that inspection hole but anyone who going to claim "he can do it in 4hr whole job " is full of crap . Yes on small japanese truck but not on Kenworth or Steerling truck with Eaton or Roadranger gear box . On some trucks we have to remove air tank and exhaust muffler becouse they are in the way and you want be able to move gear box back . That jig for clutch is great tool . I used to lift them up busting my balls
