OK Peter, I have the following Snap-on tools: A 3/8 drive #2 Phillips bit socket, a small flat head screwdriver (with a bolster for wrench), and a vintage M71 (1940-50's) 1/2 drive ratchet. Oh, and a small crusty 1/4 drive socket.
You're the number 1 channel I check when looking for new updates. I just enjoy how you work man. I'm learning a lot
If you make the mistake I did, and remove the differential cover to drain the differential fluid out, in order to change read differential oil seals on a vehicle with no drain plug, and you forget to remove the fill plug first, then discover that you can't get it loose, you can cheat by filling the cheapest plastic sandwich bags you can buy with the proper amount of differential oil. Then stick them inside the differential before replacing the cover. The gears will grind the thin plastic bags up without damaging the gears or bearings. At least that is what they say. Luckily, I was able to put a 2 foot long pipe on a 3/8 ratchet, and the fill plug came loose before the ratchet broke. The last shop not only put the wrong kind of oil in the differential, using cheap gear oil instead of the proper expensive synthetic gear oil, but they probably used an impact wrench to tighten the fill plug.
The mirror finish on those Snap – On tools might be have to be achieved by hand polishing after forging, before the chrome is applied. You are going to have to pay US labor rates for that time and skill. It is overkill, unless you are a professional mechanic, or have the money to spend. Of course, buying American is great, if you can afford it. Soaking those rusty bolts and nuts with WD-40 before you start work will make unscrewing them a lot easier, if you don't have power tools to just zip them off. Wet rusty threads unscrew easier than dry rusty threads.
Peter is right. Use a full face shield if you put tons of pressure on anything metal with a hydraulic press. You don't want something exploding or slipping, and sending a chunk of sharp metal into your eye or neck. It's happened.
Petr, After all that work, let's hope the new bushing lasts 15 years.
Soon I am going to make this kind of job with my Nissan X-Trail.
Thanks!
My father was the Chief Diesel mechanic in a copper mine in AZ. He had an extensive set of tools from Craftsman and some Proto. They were excellent tools. Snap-On and MAC make a few specialized tools, but they’re very expensive tools with their regular sockets, wrenches and ratchets.
If they would have periodically sprayed all the rubber parts with 303 Protectant , for best absorbtion , where it's hot outside
I worked at a salvage yard and I used to find tools underneath the floor mats and in the trunk then somebody liberated all my tools they felt they should have them instead of me.
thank you~!
Great video!
