That was Dave using experience to feel through the tightening process to ensure he was getting it right. I have only seen Master Technicians do this. They sometimes look away from what they are doing to ensure that the feel they get by using their hands is correct. Dave, you are the man. I appreciate you.

I like your observation, I also noticed many who saw you comment just don’t get it; hey give them twenty years of wrenching and they’ll understand what you said!

You are exactly right. To know how to feel torque, while wrenching, through your hands and body is what truly makes a master mechanic. It’s about feel, gotta learn that through experience.

​@@MrChevelle83 for real, now while i dont work in a shop myself all my oem equipment gets put into a box when i gotta replace it.

Ill be damned if i give em my Bendix manufactured equipment, 50/50 on motorcraft parts as some of it was designed to be tossed in the 90s thanks to increasing planned obsolescence. Then in the meantime i hunt down parts kits by calling the manufacturer and patiently waiting to be directed to the appropriate help desk like my aviation maintenance instructor taught me. Call em up, and be kind as you explain you need help. They might just go above and beyond to get you that kit.

Ya it's kinda crazy how like bearings can't easily be replaced but they want you to buy the whole assembly because of a bad bearing like I was working on a Toyota and the fan runs on a pully not like with the water pump and it was a whole big bracket that I forgot the price I want to say $90 or $190 but I probably could have gotten the bearing out and replaced but that's not even an option from the parts store

44-year machinist here. It's not a bevel it's called a chamfer and you're creating clearance for the tail. Installed so many of these in my days there are so many types there's pin-driven there is helicoil and some others You do work very well especially when you're around the ocean like naval vessels

Your knowledge is amazing. I hope you live to be 300+

After over 40yrs in this business I know real mechanics are not parts changers. We fix shit and do it right. That’s why there are few of us left.

[@oldschooldude3500]

So very true. Real mechanics know how to actually troubleshoot a problem. Diagnostics is something these younger mechanic don't understand. As a mechanic myself for 20 years you learn new stuff all the time. When you stop learning is the day you need to quit.
