You have a nice shop to work in
Going to have to try the long wrenches. It is a ball buster using line wrenches.
psst, man, compressed air blowers can move stuffs inside the frames with holes. But poking with stick business works too 😀
Look up ratcheting pipe wrentches
What about locking your steering wheel so it remains centered before removing the steering column from the stearing gear box?
Even though it added frustration, that steering system literally is designed to stay together even without fasteners. Kind of adds a small amount of piece of mind for all of us driving one of these, or one that employs the same techniques. It was clear that center support was specifically added to keep that center bar from just dropping away.
Is the red Chevrolet for sale ray
Mmmmm….. ♫ Golden ratchet sounds ♪
😂 "nature's loctite"😅
22:27 True Lies
sarcastic.
What ever happened to adjusting the steering gear.
So question. In some videos, you say you'll wait for owner's approval, and other you don't. Are you given carte Blanche in those cases? I work in a dealership parts warehouse, and see a lot of approvals on wait, unless it's a warranty job.. which obviously this isn't.
Marry Christmas. Happy New year â¤
Customer needs to be aware in 3 years hell be back for the exact same repair with dumb ass rims on the truck.
Hey Ray did you point out the steering shaft doughnut? Can't remember 97 had them.
Ray. Your wife is so cute.. she is always a highlight in your videos.. I think I may have a crush ⤠😂
deja vu. just finished getting my gmt400 roadworthy, all new front end suspension, steering and brakes lol.
The pitman arm has a master spline I think.
23:10 😅 ray really
upgrade those drums to disks
Good job Ray!
"Failed rubbers" caused more unplanned events than anything in history. 😛
EXCELLENT ðŸ‘🤘
My gmt400 has swerving unstable steering and squishy pedal too this video helps allot
Ray, how’s your dogs doing? You haven’t showed them in a while.
That shimmy when braking because of a bad brake line happened to my versa.
I never ever say unfortunately. What ever is happening is your situation now and you need to deal with that.
Its like saying sorry for something you had no control over. 😅
Have you never seen where adjusting the steering gear is an option? I know the output snout was leaking and an easy fix but there is always the option to adjust the play in the box. Just wondering from an 80’s tach.
I live in Michigan. That truck is in brand new condition compared to trucks up here that have a few years in the snow.
Put some maskingtape in the socket to prevent the fastener from falling off.
We dont need to see you get all your nuts off 😊
What was the total cost to get it back in shape an did they put new tires on the pickup
Hey Ray and Lauren, I really do miss the 80's and 90's vehicles, so simple to fix, great video sir.
awful lot of money tied up in repairs on that ride=-hope you got a good deposit. You'll don't need more junk sittinga4ound there-
question, what was faster? Speed Brace, ratchet, Air, or battery.
Imagine laying on your back in your garage or driveway wrestling with this removal and installing of these steering components on this particular truck! That’s why having a vehicle lift is so important to working on your vehicle. Especially as you get older.
Ray, are ya thinkin about fixing that black box covering the lever on your lift there?
