This is much more organized than the tin coffee cans full of bolts my dad had growing up, I’d have empty the whole thing to find the right bolt. Haha
Having a wire wheel on a bench grinder or drill is great to clean up bolt threads of grit, corrosion and old threadlocker.
Also, imagine the profanity that would ensue if that cabinet filled with drawers of bolts were to tip over.
I can tell you’re a really good genuine guy. I hope your channel grows.
For copper washers that you can reuse, they just need to be re-annealed. You can first sand them smooth both sides on very fine crocus cloth or sand paper, then heat them (annealing) to glowing red with a torch and let cool. That will rearrange the molecules such that it will regain its softness and sealing ability.
Big fan of your practical wisdom. Lots of tricks to remember when I am in the garage!
Ez look inserts are also really really awesome. They use standard thread sizes and can be installed with a screwdriver.
Awesome long video, watched the whole thing good job!
3:39 He said they were “taps” but it should be made clear, If he’s cleaning or dressing up threads, you want to use a “thread chaser” only. Running a regular tap into an existing threaded hole will weaken it.
Thanks for so many great tips. I grease pretty much every bolt. This is important with steel hardware threading into aluminum, etc. If you hear creaking or popping that's not good. Grease! When threads are properly lubed and clean you can feel the bolt bottom out and then start applying the proper amount of torque for the application. You can actually feel the threads and the metal stretch on high torque applications.
Dam that nut and bolt collection is pretty amazing.
Awesome content! I am sure glad I found this channel. Thank you!
You're a well of knowledge. Thank you for sharing all these tips!
About time someone did a vid on this stuff. Thx
These videos are gold.
Great advice as usual, Thank you Sir!
I’ve repaired drain bolts by tapping it to a bigger size and getting a bigger magnetic bolt
Always good stuff man. 👍
Great video thanks for the tips!
Love the advice and content 👍. For anyone who cares, harbor freight has a large kit of copper smash washers for a cheap price.
So now we know why there's a global supply chain shortage🤣
Thank you for all the info and great ideas.
Do aluminum bolts for plastics and body pieces. I’d buy that.
I was able to save my tank screws on a CR250 with JB Weld. I think it was because the JB Weld stuck to the brass and filled in where it spun out. I think I lucked out.
Gold!
6x1.25, 8x1.0 ? We knew what you meant.😁
I would still not be able to find the right length bolt I needed
A friend, who is way more knowledgeable about dirt bikes than I, always warned me to not overtighten the drain bolt...
Both of our kids ride 85's & his kid came off the track saying his bike was making weird noise. Drain bolt backed out & fell off.......... I'm cranking that sucker every time..
My buddy stripped out his oil drain bolt. I didn’t have the balls to tell him it was stripped 🤣🤣🤣
That bell is the most annoying thing on the planet
I bought one of those kits from rocky mountain for a yz250, and everything was made of soft aluminium. Just buy OEM now. Not worth it after stripping or broken bolts.
It is problem of customers who don't understand what they buy. Aluminum bolts are for weight reduction and used only for plastic. If you stripping bolts, buy already a torque wrench.
They are made from cheap chinesium metals, not strong alloys like they should be. You don't know what you're talking about. @@inevespace
@@nastysoda9212 I live in china and use chinese aluminum bolts without problems. Looks like "US quality" became worse than chinese.
