Great job big mike!!! Can’t wait to see the reassembly !!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@timconklin8489]

This is a great video, genius I did not realize how was involved with the stren drive and the gimbal housing. I am excited to see the next part

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Great video Very interesting I have never worked on a Gimbal housing. There’s more to one than I thought.. Can’t wait to see it go back together . One step closer for Big Blue. The finding and waiting on parts always takes forever I know I’m waiting on parts myself. But hey that’s the way it goes. Yelp . As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming.👍👍👍👍👍

I am glad to see a new video I was beginning to wonder if you had become ill.

[@jerryq1000]

LUCAS MARINE GREASE....can't beat it.

[@melvinrawlings1457]

Hell yea brother. I was wondering when you were going to post a video. Much love from Maryland. Big fan of yours and just love all your content.❤❤❤

[@darylhaack7752]

Great video Michael. I would need to have filmed it so l could put it back together.
Thanks for posting.
Cheers

[@crispernator]

Gday mate boy im glad its you doing that at least you have done some before and have the knowledge of how they all go together .

[@crispernator]

Just a quick note with the sika flex i found using acetone seems to get it of pretty well from your hands

[@timothyruggles3031]

The wonderful thing of hobo frate make it fit is great

[@johnmccarthy7931]

Thanks for posting !

[@johnruppe1699]

Genius!

[@richardcranium5839]

that's an oldie. i'd be tempted to upgrade tp a newer setup. i've seen strategically placed hole to get to the hose clamps.

[@timothyruggles3031]

I bet they made that like that so people would buy a new one then try to disassemble the arigenal
