    I like using a cutoff wheel on the U-bolts, doesn't hurt the threads as much. After the cut, I take a take a grinder and remove the sharp edges. Only takes a couple seconds, helps prevent nasty cuts.

    Sorry to hear that your family was ill. I hope you are all feeling better. Cool trick using the air gun to run those nuts up the U-bolts! That's a new one on me.
    A little trick I learned from a machinist on cutting he U-bolts to length: run two nuts up the threads, cut the extra length with a cutoff wheel (does less damage to the threads), then run the second nut off to clean up the threads. This has always worked well for me.

    • @Rocket39Smoke14
      @Rocket39Smoke14 Před 5 měsíci +7

      Yes. Ray should've stopped with the "More Torque" and investigated the issue more thoroughly. My guess was that the nuts and bolts were a different thread pitch. And he should've use flange bolts on the fronts instead what he used. But, he was in a hurry at the customers expense...which made watching him fight tightening those fasteners unbearable.

My mechanic did 3 flushes and filled transmission with correct fluid (after replacing faulty radiator) and thereafter the transmission worked fine. Yah old Volvo!

    Regarding your U-bolts: I chuck an auto body eraser wheel into my drill and spin it against the nut. Next I use a recip saw (Diablo blades are my favorite), but I use a second nut. I use it to both cut a straight end on the bolt and chase the threads for future removal of the nut that's holding everything together.

    Hey Ray, glad to hear you and the wife unit are fighting the good fight with the family flu. I've spent a good chunk of my life listening to guys talk shop across many industries. I can continue to do that with your videos and chat. The guys in the chat crack me up. So much fun! The dad jokes are epic, lol. Love the air gun and lube trick! 😉😁 Just an old lady waving a hand at ya!😎

    Had one of those Canadian rust buckets, complete with hole in the driver's floor. Now I have a true Texas car and it's a joy to work on compared to the old rust bucket. 😂

      You're not a true driveway mechanic until you have a small pile of rust and dirt fall into your eye thanks to a rust belt specials 😅
