I've been a company driver for 18 years. Now I've become an O/O, and your videos really have shown me so much on how to work and fix my own truck. Thank you very much!

[@behroozkhaleghirad]

I'm both diesel and gaz engine mechanic from Iran. I love my job and I plan to migrate to Canada to become a truck driver. In my opinion anyone who wants to drive heavy vehicles in harsh conditions like ice roads, logging, etc. should be at least a medicore mechanic first, then attempt driving. You can't beg bears and wolves to help you when you break down in the middle of nowhere. BTW great videos. Carry on and let us enjoy 👍💪

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Thanks for watching.

[@psuperpsychophreak]

@@TATEXPRESSINC Great work. I would love to know where you guys are located so I can get some work done on my Volvo.

[@psuperpsychophreak]

@@TATEXPRESSINC also: I just got my seal replaced precisely in that rear corner, yet after less than 1,000 miles that seal is leaking again. What are the possible failure points that would cause that; I mean parts and what was done incorrectly during reinstalling the assembly that would cause it to leak again? Thanks in advance.

[@carlospastran3527]

@@psuperpsychophreak if it's leaking after 1000 miles, the seal was not installed correctly. Probably damaged in the process by using wrong installation tool, cleaning hub or not torquing the spindle nut properly.

[@freddarby7808]

Not sure of your reasoning for these videos; be it educational, monetary or just for likes, but please accept my sincere gratitude bro! Hopefully all of the pre-mentioned things are there but let me add that you are literally helping me feed and house my children and grandchildren as well! Being a mechanic kinda fell into my lap, long story short. I was in another field and life happened, as it does sometimes. I say that to say, I had next to ZERO experience doing this. Your videos gives me the tools sorely needed and I appreciate you dude! Thank you!!! P.S. Your camera person needs a raise!!! LOL

[@clayensley5526]

Thank you. By watching your videos I have learned a lot. Your camera person does a wonderful job as well. Job well done by you both.

[@bloqyutepa6432]

I've learned so much from you , your vids give me the confidence and assurance at work. Love the energy you bring , its like im right there with you. KEEP IT UP !!

[@zkgarage1939]

Thank ya sir, this means the world watching this. I'm in diesel tech school at the moment trying to learn as much as possible.

[@XFonzieXx]

I did my first Seal today and it was a Success, you made it look so easy 😭 Great video brother!

[@evanllanes1392]

Thanks for the video I'm an entry level diesel mechanic from Houston and this video helps me learn that much more!

[@Frankie4231]

You truly have a gift for breaking things down to where anyone can understand thanks a lot this has been a big help to me in learning in my new role at work

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Glad the video has helped.

[@hansjansen7047]

The wonders of technology ! My '97 Pete had the old style bearing system, without the spacer, and when the bearings wore a little the inner race of the inside bearing moved ever so slightly outward , allowing it to spin on the spindle. Eventually all four drive wheel spindles needed to be replaced, normally meaning new axle carriers. An other option, much less expensive, was to weld new spindles on and a specialist was available for this. The new system put that type of specialist out of business.My '07 Pete had the new stuff.

[@geoestrada5001]

This is like going to maintenance school, thanks again brother you have the best videos in this channel,

[@Makentz]

What's up, man! I hope you're doing well. First of all, thank you so much putting in the time to record this video and share your skills with us. I'm working on my Mack Master certification through my job. This last week our instructor walked us through replacing wheel seals and drum brakes. Our company bought an old Mack GU713 on auction for us to practice on before they rebuild it. Total beater, but a great truck for us to get our feet wet, especially since it's been through hell and back; every step of the way we learn from the challenges that come with working a well-"loved" truck, haha. Anyway, when I came home today I wanted to see another perspective on replacing the seals. I searched "replacing drive axle hub" on KZbin, and this was exactly what i was looking for. Man, you make it look so easy; I thought I was gonna throw my back out just trying to get the wheel back over the hub without a dolly. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the great work!! I look forward to checking out the rest of your channel. You just earned yourself a subscriber.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Much appreciated!

[@jessea1743]

@@TATEXPRESSINC would be awesome if you set a link to purchase the tools or recomed the tools you use I think for every purchase made by your link you get something thanks for the awesome videos an helpful tips

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

Finally a mechanic that knows not to lube the seal when installing it into the hub. So many morons on here using forms of lube. Says on the damn box not to. Also, no need to fill the hub be for you install the nut like that. On the hub as you can see in the video when you're rotating it there is a 8mm Allen nut you can remove to directly fill the hub. And also that torgue spec is 350-400 for that hub locking nut. I can gladly send you specs. But the shop you're in looks good enough to have that resource. Also enjoyed not seeing you get that last inch of when you're trying to line the shaft up in the diff lol. Video edit. Good luck and happy wrenching.

[@mandarkumthekar8565]

When you remove the axle and take the hub assembly out, you can slide out the whole tandem out. This way you don’t have to remove the wheels one by one

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

I appreciate the support

[@jaspercupp5724]

Putting Lucas on the inner bearing and seal helps a little too

[@sophiasocal68]

I generally pack both inner and outer bearings to ensure lubrication while the gear oil works its way back to the hub valley.

Aye great video man, can you do one of the scam bushings and replacement. Great channel man💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@br1022]

NEVER use Sandpaper as it will pollute the oil and bearings leading to a failure. Use a Scotch-Brite scrub pad instead.

[@alanpumphrey9639]

Funny how ConMet includes coarse and fine sandpaper with their wheel seals. But yeah I agree

[@88miken36]

I agree with alan. Ive used sand paper on over 200 wheel seals and i have never had any problems. Ofcourse i sand and clean areas with brake clean

[@timekeeper5275]

👍 scotch Brite is the way to go.

[@enragedplantera5585]

I sand then brake clean them heavily no problem ever

[@wadeariss448]

Never sand without cleaning maybe

Thanks, if you have cups on the axle studs, my advice is to get new split cups if they were not split cups before, you will save yourself a lot of work getting them off the next time around :).

[@bubbalee6780]

Great video how about one on the different locking nuts

[@terrellscaife2411]

Nice work man so what are your thoughts on the EZRED MR1X

[@oakley9094]

Wire brush to the tone ring do not use sand paper or use a buffer, clean the ABS sensor and than push it foreward so it's flush with the tone ring before reinstalling the tone ring or hub ( hubs have tone rings built in or replaceable depending on the hub ) clean the ABS Sensor after pushing it forwards, any prybar will do, if seized replace sensor or free it up and check for functionality than remove and clean, than reinstall with grease ) also clean the bearings and re-oil them before reinstalling don't just wrap them up even if they are somewhat newer or new.. contamination happens. Also clean the hub pilots up with a rust needler (Best outcome) or a wire brush or even sand paper to get corrosion away and use copper never seize to the spots the drum will seat after the tires have been torqued down, so many mistakes that can cause you hours in later hours of service in this video, i know its a demonstation but be realistic.

[@Olivertshagnasty]

The guy that showed me how to do this didn't lean the axle up against the truck where it wouldn't fall. And for some reason he got his creeper out and was under the truck when he kicked over the axle causing it to fall across his shins. He was limping around the shop for like 2 months. Same guy when throwing drums away in the scrap bin gets his finger caught which causes him to do a 360 flip and land on the gravel parking lot. I helped him find his glasses and didn't give him too much of a hard time but when he went back in the shop the boss said why are you covered in gravel? and I lost it!🤣
