The one channel where you can hear “Lada”, “dry bearings” and “RaceLogic” in the same breath. Keep it up lads 👍
Vlad is back! Assuming this isn’t an earlier video. Wish him well!
It's an earlier video. But he is back at work, though there probably will be a few more episodes to come featuring Cyril as the host.
@@SwapBlogRU Cyril stepped up HARD while Vlad was recovering. He did an excellent job!!!
@@TechGorilla1987 I agree. Cyril did good :) Get well soon, Vlad
@@TechGorilla1987 what happened to Vlad that he was recovering from?
@@SwapBlogRU when you see the comment it says that garage54 has answered the comment but it’s you? I know your the translator but it’s weird
Did a front wheel bearing on a Ford Transit van belonging to an idiot, the actual taper roller bearings were broken up some had welded themselves onto the stub axle! had to grind them off before putting the new ones on. Don't ignore the warning signs people!
I’ve dealt with that.
And spinning the race and ruining the spindle
Much respect for this guy. great mechanical knowledge, great ability to teach his knowledge, and most of all he is proof that no matter what government's flag is on our post office, all car guys are the same. He looks about my age, survivors of the end of the cold war. government tried hard to train us to dislike each other, but enjoying motors and cars just shows we are the same. Keep going, we need these.
Put valve grinding compound in the rear diff
+1 for this idea, that's genius
Or mix valve grinding compound with engine oil..
Welcome back, Vlad! We're happy to see you, even if your cars aren't!
Yeah:):)Cars:Yeeeyy Vlad have vacation!
Few days later:Vlad in back!
Cars:Oh f**k pls dont choose me!
Since the US education system failed me, I love using these channels to orient myself between imperial and metric.
Welcome back Vlad, it's good to see you!
This is an older video before he went.
However, he has just returned on the Russian channel, when they put their petrol converted Toyota diesel into a lada!
I'm sure you will find it here translated in a month or so, once English channel catches up with all the Cyril hosted videos
Glad to see you back Vlad! Had a front wheel bearing seize up on a 77 Ford pickup one time. That was fun! Gave plenty of warning long before failing, but, of course I kept driving on it. When they start humming/groaning just replace them! Love your content btw!
@ATFags in body bags Yup yup. I have a Grand Prix that's been hummin for a bit on the passenger side.(louder turning to the left at speed) Inner bearing worse off. It recently developed a slight pull to the right. Guess I'd better replace the hub assembly soon. haha. I like the vehicles I have that I can just replace the bearings not the whole hub!
Mine started humming at Truth or Consequences, NM, and the wheel came off just north of Socorro, NM. Check a map. 😉
Vlad's laugh is back!
@Saif Khan kinda cringe
Hi everybody! Hopefully you're enjoying this video, I'm just popping in to say that the Saturday episode will be pretty special and awesome (at least I think so). Can't wait to share it with you.
As a car enthusiast myself and somebody who has changed a seized bearing on the side of the road, watching this pains me, but it is so informative and interesting
Welcome back Vlad!
I can tell you what happens when a rear wheel bearing seizes on a '67 Mustang with the common 8" rear end. The axle shears in two instantly just outboard of the bearing, and the wheel, axle flange, brake drum, bearing and a little bit of the axle all come off as one piece, hit the concrete barrier and bounce off into the median. If it's dark, the brake backing plate gives you a fireworks show until you come to a stop.
I can confirm that the same thing happens on an F150 with a 9" rear end.
So, uh, how'd you find out?
When someone says "we are on fire" it means a job well done.
Welcome back Vlad!!!
Hello Vlad, I really like your work here on CZcams. I'd like to ask you to do an experiment with solid forklift tires to see how they would behave in a vehicle. No one has ever done this on the internet and I know only you are capable of this. Thank you
I love how well this translated channel works, at first I was sceptical but BMI russian stole my heart ;D
Thanks for sharing this channel with the rest of the world.
Big rig truckers would feel the bearings for high temperatures every few hundred miles. Now they use temp guns. Wheel bearing fail and a fire can happen.
That's pretty neat, thanks for sharing Tom!
Maybe millennial truckers. You can smell it or know where it's at by feel. Definitely don't check bearing Temps every few hundred miles. Maybe if your chase a problem but even then it would be apparent way before 100 miles...
Watching those bearing rolled in the dirt was painful
How?
Why? It went on a Lada.. Not a million dollar piece of equipment...
But lada is the best car and better than most cars...
@@Dexta_Mies It is..
Video's like these need to be shown in all Auto Mechanic Schools...
Wishing Vlad well and saying hello to everyone at Garage 54. Love all the cool things you guys do and the more i watch, the more I want a Lada myself. You guys make lada pretty cool. I want to get one to do cool stuff with and import one to the U.S., keep up the awesome work and videos.
Grease loaded up with Chemico coarse grinding paste... especially on brass or bronze bushings... munch munch munch seize :P Funniest thing I had with a wheel end was driving down the motorway in a MK3 Ford Capri with the 3 litre engine up front, hits a pothole and the back passenger side really banged and my mate says to me "That's funny" so I asks whats funny, he says "you don't usually see a wheel cruising past just like that" and he was right, my wheel was overtaking us as the wheel studs had shorn clean off, then gravity took over and the back end dropped onto the drum gouging a great big trench in the tarmac and fighting it into the hard shoulder. Was with the AA back then and this when they still did good fixes and the bloke turned up with a new set o' studs, knocked the old ones out, I sent me mate to recover the wheel and before long we was back on the road.
"Cool, the engine is running"
-Vlad, who has seen a few engines not run
Welcome Welcome Back Mr Valad. Glad to see you back.
Using your differential contraption you built, see if you can friction weld a wheel bearing!
MAN using that for tightening a bolt would be insane!
Welcome back Vlad. As we see you are doing great. Followers missed you a lot. With respect with all the great team working with you🌹
Welcome back Vlad glad you are feeling better 😊. Your other guy did well keeping us entertained.
So glad you are back and well Vlad
Future suggestion, chunk of clutch disk as brake pad 🤔
Glad you’re feeling better Vlad!
I love how yall go and add simple maintenance tips into some of yer crazy experiements.
Thank goodness Vlads back, so worried about us older guys "getting sick" , personal experience included a funeral .
Cyril did awesome ! Gotta give him a second seat or segment , he's that good .
Oh and hey . What's the oldtimers name. The one who's been with Vlad from the very beginning ? I suspect the man's a genius . Would love to hear his story . Maybe some of his commentary.
Glad you're feeling better Vlad 🤗 the young lad did a smashing job 👍
Water destroys bearings, this much I know for sure. My father in law had a few wheel bearings go bad after running his truck through swampy water, and I have had bearings for accessories fail after I had a water pump that leaks down into the other bearings below it washing the grease away. So I guess I'd say no grease, liquids, then dirty grease would be the failure order (I know liquid's not technically part of the test but it trashes bearings).
Dust/Dirt do that faster.
Welcome bk big man
pleased to see you back vlad
WELCOME BACK VLAD ! You make the videos AWESOME MAN ! :) 👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome back, Vlad! Glad you're OK!
Good to see you again Vlad😍
Welcome back Vlad🙌🏾
Good to see you back Vlad
👌😃👍HEY VLAD IS BACK! AWESOME! WELCOME BACK BROTHER! WE ALL MISSED YOU! GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL!✌😎👍
7:57 does some body se the bearin nut coming lose
Vlad is back👍👍🇩🇰
Glad your back and ok.
That was an interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing it with us. Also once again welcome back. Also I can't remember his name. Cyril I think it is. But when you was off duty. He did really good. You have an awesome team at Garage 54. I wish I could meet you all. I would have so many questions I admit. But it would be an honor.
Welcome back, Vlad!
Yeah welcome back Vlad
HEY! WELCOME BACK!
WHOA!!!! Dry bearing separated the brake portion of the rotor!
Vlad is back, the president of russian expertice and frienship, best ambassador ever. We all love you.
Welcome back Vlad! 🤘
Vlad, welcome back brother!
"""contaminated""" with dirt XD that's 90% dirt 10% grease!
WELCOME BACK VLAD!!!!
theory for the greasless bearing not getting hot:
same principle as on a lathe, the part lost metal shavings, carrying the heat away from the part
also at 7:58, you can see the nut backing off, which would reduce pressure on the bearing
That looked like a lot of fun!!!!!
Like these type of videos, where we see what type of abuse certain parts can take.
welcome back big guy!
I love the, "Hey there fellas!" Intro to every video.
I love this guy's it's nice to see Vlad is back ura comrade
VLAD back hes strong go Vlad
Welcome back Vlad my man yayyy
Welcome back
Hope you're doing well
12:00 my local mechanic be like
That broken brake rotor is no less than modern art!
hi its nice to see Vlad is back in the car seat
Glad to see Vlad back and things normal again.
how has this channel not gotten multiple millions of subscribers...... ?
Welcome back Vlad
You should try to over tighten the pinion bearings on the rear differential and see how long it last :D
Maybe combine it with the see through cover, if it will withstand the heat that is.
13:00 sound is kicking! 💃👍🤌💯
7:54 OMG we can literally see the bearing nut unscrew by itself !
Good to see Vlad back and looking well
lol as soon as he said we'll fit one dry i remembered doing my first set, totally forgot to pack the bearings...... they blew up 10 feet from the driveway lmfao. The originals fell apart inside the hub and marred the shit out of the axle stub, i had to make some spacers to get the innner race to sit in the proper spot on the taper.... in other words, if you have these style of wheel bearings, you don't want to let them fall apart... once they do the spindle is ruined and replacements are almost impossible to find or are very expensive.
Welcome back vlad
How to polish your wheel bearings with sand with this 1 simple trick
Happy vald is back
as you do a u turn the wheel on the outside will travel faster than the one on the inside... thus heating up faster than the other side...
The main man has returned
"Can a Lada corkscrew a disc rotor? Let's do this!"
I, missed our host welcome back.
8:51 nice stance
main issue with no cap isnt so much the dirt, its the water that gets in with the grease.
I once had a car where I suspected that the bearing lost its grease. It was sealed and I couldn't regrease. So I drove with it like that fpr 5000km and nothing happened. In the end it was a car for 50€ that got me around summer with working A/C. On highway speeds that bearing was squealing considerably and constantly. In construction zones when going 90km/h in heavy traffic all construction workers always looked at me and already 150-200m in advance. In the end the engine blew without any mechanical noises in advance and it went to the scrapyard. The engine burned a lot of oil although I never let it run low as I well knew about that
12:06 I will never think of the phrase "pack your bearings " the same.
It's a friggin Lada! The dirty bearing grease is just gonna polish the spindle!!
Guys, this is an older vid I believe. It was uploaded to the Russian channel a month or two back. Still hoping he’s well.
Pretty Interesting!
I want to see air filter on intake and end of exhaust.
Just to visualise the particulate and operation timeframe before fully clogged.
👍good to see you
Haa pertty Ironic I just got back from shooting the temp on all the bearing on my Ferris 3100 zer0 turn after I maxed it out on heavy grassy hills for a couple a hours even with synthetic aluminum matrix Royal purple grease the deck spindle bearing still get over 250f but they do still run quiet
Good to ser Vlad again
Make a R/C lada.
oh no! fire!
Covid couldn’t stop Vlad !👍🏼
Wuhan flu.
Yes
my car was stuck in a shallow but fast flowing river for 6 hours the other day I guess I should check my wheelbearings and add some grease if necessary.
A good method to making things stop moving when they should is sodium silicate it hardens when exposed to heat it will completely seize an engine in 30 seconds I can only imagine what it would do to a wheel bearing or any bearing in that instance
Nice video
