That means he's in a consultant position: The aircon / heated office, doesn't have to answer to anyone. The question is, when will there be a new trainee aka padawan for Max? The problem with the trades these days is so many knowledgable old guys with years of wisedom regarding mouse hunting tactics and no younguns to take up the trade...

2024-12-15 14:38:18 +0000 UTCI think Max is old enough to deserve a heated pad/bed

2024-12-15 14:28:57 +0000 UTCDid you notice your voice crack a bit when you said "ALL of the brake lines"? And you could make a video of paint drying interesting to watch!

2024-12-15 07:07:54 +0000 UTCI'm not sure but the reason they're no longer using stainless steel tube nuts maybe because of stainless steels tendency to gall up on the threads, at one time I was doing a lot of assembly with stainless steel fasteners and we were told definitively to always put loctite on the threads no matter what, counter to what your intuition would say this was actually to ensure that it would come apart if need be, the loctite insured that when torqued if it had to come apart it wouldn't gall up.

2024-12-15 04:54:57 +0000 UTCWes, there's a lot of people that don't know how to do this. You and I especially you have done this hundreds of times. Now is the time that we have to give back as we are responsible citizens. Many people have no idea of how to do this or where to even get the parts. I have no idea what this job would cost saying it to a shop or to the the dealership but they could save a lot of bucks if they watch this. So you're not boring. You're educating and you're doing a good job of it Wes. Would have been fun to show I using an air chisel that has the socket that fits the bleeder screw and it's got a little handle you turn as you Hammer the daylights out of the brake bleeder screw and take the rusted one out. Keep up the good work, Wes.

2024-12-15 04:26:05 +0000 UTCI love the bleed screws that are so rotted you just keep beating smaller and smaller sockets on until one bites. You got lucky this time. Kit looks pretty handy. I've never used one. Always end up doing piecemeal work on brake lines

2024-12-15 03:00:03 +0000 UTCIn all my years of doing my own wrenching I've never had to replace a brake or fuel line. Thanks God I'm a Southern boy! I have put mouse traps under the seat and hood although my worst animal damage by far was when my American Bulldog puppy decided to eat every wiring harness under my truck he could get to one day.

2024-12-15 01:01:47 +0000 UTCGetting those lines straightened without kinking them is some serious skills. Which is hard to highlight in a video. The flares do mean you can't fit a spring bender on the pipes. So, great job. And a great dog.

2024-12-14 22:52:35 +0000 UTCGood job on the pipes. Are you going to do a video on your newer truck?
Darran
2024-12-14 22:18:38 +0000 UTCThat's a lot of labor time $$$, but this truck looks like it's in pretty good shape for its age, so I imagine the owner intended to keep it going for as long as possible, and is willing to spend what it takes to do so. Good for him!

2024-12-14 21:47:01 +0000 UTCI think when they build cars, they start with a frame then next is the brake lines. You were magnificent with these lines. Of course, Chevys are tough, rust resistant trucks! :-)
