Great video semi working now I know how to do the kingpins And front brakes on these isuzu NPR trucks keep the videos coming God bless

Why doesn’t anyone ever show removal and installation of bushings

[@chrisgreen9392]

Agreed , still a great video . This one went pretty smooth for him but I’d definitely like to see what it takes to press the bushings out & new in .

No words all action!! Understood %100 what needs to be done to get this job done thank you!!

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Thanks for sharing. With your help in this video I now have the confidence to do the work on my own truck in the future. Keep up the great work

[@johnz8210]

Thanks for the video. Was wondering what other truck makers use left hand thread lug nuts/studs on the left side - seems like it used to be common a long time ago, but I'm not sure.

[@SemiWorkin]

Thanks for watching!! They use these a lot on semi trailers also.

[@coreybenson3122]

Older trailers and older American trucks will use a reverse thread on the driver side of the vehicle. These days, it’s mostly light to medium duty Hino, Izusu etc trucks with reverse threads and budd type rear drive lugs.

Excellent video, I learn a little bit with every one!! Thanks Do you have a favorite type of job or vehicle that you work on?

[@SemiWorkin]

Thanks for watching!! No favorites they're all pretty much the same.

Thanks for the great video! I enjoyed that. I wonder why the torque on axle nut seems surprisingly low or does this particular truck require not much torque on the axle nut?

[@TheXilya]

Thank for the video. I have couple of questions. It seems like you did not stuff lots of grease as I see some other techs do. Is that not necessary? Also that paint on the rotors some remove it and you did not. So I assume it's also not necessary. And in the video I did not see the process of removing hub from the rotors. How do you remove that speed sensor blade? Any special tool? Regarding the king pins your technique seems very easy while 9ther videos I have watched ppl struggle to remove thise. Braking tools and presses. How 8s that possible? Is there times when it can be jammeg and would not press out?

[@jtg2737]

Just a question apart from the good work? Why LEFT handed studs on the LEFT side are being used? It makes no sense to me that if that side(LEFT) of wheels is moving counter clockwise 99% of the time that a RIGHT thread(bolt, nut, and or stud) would be used, correct?

[@johnz8210]

The theory used to be that with the left side turning counter-clockwise the nuts would tend to resist loosening while going down on the road. Clutch fans are usually tightened with the same theory in mind.

[@jtg2737]

@@johnz8210 Check this out and tangent to what you are saying? Then RIGHT thread NUTS and LEFT hand NUTS would would go on the LEFT side and RIGHT side of the vehicle of the vehicle respectively. Your clutch fan example is great, now just imagine that as the center of the wheel and apply the same theory as to in which direction it would tighten for safety reasons if it were to come loose? Blessed day.

[@johnz8210]

@@jtg2737 The theory of the left hand lug nuts goes back to horse and buggy days with the center hub nut tending to loosen itself on the left side of the buggy. Of course this was due to not having a well thought out locking system for the nuts. Since most vehicles don't use left hand hardware, and don't have problems with the wheels falling off the left side, the theory behind all this is questionable at best. Notice the Isuzu has left hand lug nuts but a right hand spindle nut.

It Ain't going to be that easy anywhere in the northeast/new england. Gonna need more tools than that to bust rust seazed parts.

[@earlycuyler8719]

I don't like seeing a truck that clean underneath. I live in Eastern Kentucky and if you see a truck gunked up with grease and dirt that means its been greased every time it went to the garage.

[@j06c]

There is no way they ever come out that easy. Half the time one side the king pin gets seized to the lower bushing and have to use heat and a big sledge
