A constructive suggestion for you guys. Take 2 bolts and cut the heads off and shorten the threads(or not) and point the non-threatening end and put them in at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position to guide the brake unit into position as you install the unit. Guides it into place and no damage to the oring. Make life easier for you. Cheers

I did same thing different for my rear diff. Except used the metric 10.9 rod, I figured it should be 10" length when I read the instructions after I had done it they said 4 " as that length would not have kept the diff from rotating. As I did not want to have to redo the sealant RTV. Easier is usually better.

Just a thought. When I needed to align big parts together, I would take a pair of long bolts, and the heads cut off. Thread the bolts into the housing and use it as an alignment pins. Much easy assemble, and less likely to damage o-rings or gaskets. Love the videos.

We were all young and inexperienced to start with. Sad to see you made the same basic mistake on the second side too. Clean ALL cover mating surfaces and threads first BEFORE cleaning crankcase ONCE. I rarely had the luxury of a covered workshop, so I learned to use my brain to save me freezing or getting wet as much as possible while still doing the best job possible. When you need to use the torque wrench upwards, keep arms and back as straight as possible. Use the strength of both legs to avoid a skipped disc. Hope this helps you in your career. P.S. Get the broken screen replaced. Laminated screens break into large sharp, killing shards when they finally fail. Old toughened windscreens broke into tiny scratchy bits even though they were a pain.

I used to drive school bus in L.A. One of the buses there had a Cummins horizontal 6 cyl., a 335 I think. Anyway it needed some valve work done on it and I remember a slender mechanic hanging on a cheater bar on the end of a 6' torque wrench trying to get to 600 ftlbs on the head bolts. That was funny!!

you should try a 1000ft lb tq wrench to tq the 4 bolts for the fwd transmission on a ch-47 helicopter. the bolts tq at 880ft lbs. the end caps that hold the horizontal hinge pin (flap up/down) on the rotor head tq at 420ft lbs and working on the aft pylon for the aft rotor head, we only have a 30"x30" work platform and is 17' in the air.

1000 foot pounds on combine wheel bolts. And they're sunk in about 3 feet, so you get a long extention, a big torque wrench, and a handyman jack to hold the extention up at the pivot point

Good work guys. I had a issue with CAT over there cutting edge tips. They were warranted not to brake. They replaced them and told me I wasn’t using the correct torque on the bolts. I bought a CAT torque multiplier to satisfy the warranty. I did brake a few after that, they never questioned the replacement. I also put the multiplier to use on the elephant pad caps on my Mack trucks. Think they were 600 ft.lbs.They are expensive, but worth the investment. Thanks for the video.

The tires were the size of the ones on the large mine haul trucks. It was out of service when I saw it. This is impressive seeing you do this repair. I work outside a lot on locomotives.
