Come for the Mini, stay for the Landy.
Awesome thanks for tuning in Dan
OMG ! How many components are there in that hub? And you want to do the other side to! Good luck. Bring on my ball joints 🤣
haha there fairly crammed all right lol
I keep saying but as a novice you're really helping me learn. I've shimmed ball joints before but i probably didn't really understand what i was doing. I believe i "get it" better now.
That was one beast of an anvil 😄
Thanks HRE!
Glad to help yes she is a big old girl all right yet another pice of history I saved from the scrap heap
Great advice regarding the copper hammer on hardened steel. I know of people who have been injured by shards of metal 👍
ya it scares the life out of me I have had a few near miss and I would consider my self careful !!
Excellent use of a chuck. Wish I had thought of it. Also a very simple and effective way of greasing a bearing. Many people don’t realise how easy it is to over grease a bearing and the damage it can do. That’s why the packets the grease comes in, in the kit always looks too small, but aren’t. You cannot be too careful. I used to wear cotton gloves handling them. Also excellent example of the use of a simple spring balance and the ubiquitous dial gauge. Despite its ruggedness, the Landy was intolerant of incorrectly tightened bearings. As usual, very interesting and educational but I have to admit I am intrigued and this is compounded by Norman’s comment. I’m looking at the video and it’s obvious that the brake shoes will only fit the way they are fitted but it doesn’t look right. The leading shoe looks upside down and the trailing shoe is chamfered which doesn’t make sense. If I just saw the picture of the shoes I’d assume I was looking at the passenger side. Given what’s there I’ d expect binding due to the self servo action of the leading edge. I wonder? Still great stuff. Enjoyed immensely.
Its very intreating, watch this space see if we can figure out the ins and outs of these old girls
When it comes to packing taper bearings, I was taught to push the grease up from the wide end exclusively, until it comes all the way through and starts oozing out the narrow end - the idea is that it avoids the potential for a bit in the middle of the bearing to have less grease than the rest. And for those who like to use a bearing packer: I've never been as happy with the results of those as I have with doing it manually. Cheers, Paul. :-)
Thats exactly how it should be done man, I like you have never got on with those packers there a bit of a pain
Was never a fan of the Land Rover but this is very entertaining and interesting to watch cracking job Paul
Hi Martin, I'm glad you found it interesting. Landry's are an acquired taste thats for sure
That's the second video I have seen on how to rebuild the swivel hub and the reasoning given for why they are built the way they are has been the same and the other video was done by a guy in new Zealand if I am not mistaken and he has had to work on and nurse his landy in the wild on the fly so to speak, thoroughly interesting video, I definitely feel a little more educated each week Paul.
Thats awesome Jer glad you are geting something from the vids 👍👍
Another great video Paul 👍 learning lots ... keep it up
No prob Andrew
Great video and I love the detailed tips and hints. M
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh boy Paul, potentially, a landy can kill for using the wrong tool! Think I'll stick to the minis then 😉
safest thing you can do lol
5:35 i replaced my copper faced part of the mallet with a 24 carrot Gold part, works a treat lol
haha well for some
Paul very in depth if you cockup after that vid you shouldn’t be working on a Landy ,you failed to say you must clean out the wheel arch first because the cow muck always gets in your hair and the family look at you awkwardly 😂
The old hubs where filled with ep 90 but if the customer wouldn’t pay for the rebuild it was 140 to try and make it last longer the oil was sat on the air heater over night to warm because it wouldn’t flow from the can ,those where the days when men where men and sheep where frightened 😂keep them coming fanbloodytastic 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
haha the cow "muck" is real in this one two men in diver suites would have trouble clearing it out lol
Is the leading edge on the brake shoe's right haven't that great picture on my phone. Great content 👌
something I have been wondering my self tbh, they are assembled the only way possible but like you I questioned the friction material position
1st, this is getting boring being 1st all the time Paul lol...........................time to grab a beverage ;-)
You only beat me by 2 minutes. if i could type faster with more than two fingers I would have beaten you.
@@unclekevin5094 No Kev, nothing to do with how fast you can type. Its all to do with you having cheap slow internet, we all know how tight you Scotts are lol. HRE timed this just right. I've just come in from taking the roof off my 62 Mini. What a sod of a job.
@@paulrobinson3528 I apologise if you think I am from Scotland but actually I am from and live nearly 800 miles in the other direction. I am Luxembourgish and have lived here for over 40 years. Strangely my dad and myself took the roof off a 60s mini in my youth and turned it over and made a very nice small garden pond for goldfish. As we didnt need to reuse it an angle grinder in the corners and sides and job done. I think the whole shell from a write off cost £25 . we used the rear subframe to make a towing trailer. Happy days.
@@unclekevin5094 So that is where your love for Minis came from then? Your accent is very strong on the phone, Glasgow strong, not to bad on the videos. So as a lad, how did you end up in Bonny Scotland? I love Scotland, looking to move there in a few years!
Good job lads 👍
