FYI Snap On makes a super shallow 5/8 wobble 12 POINT 1/2 DRIVE. And Apex tools makes a really cool 5/8 welded onto a extension that you can buy at caterpillar. But they on backorder for a while now

Your are 1st cabin! Me same thing with a 12 point swivel for starter bolts, just to fat to work. For years I have used a old Snap On standard chrome universal with electrical tape to keep it from being floppy, with a Snap On 12 point and about 3 feet of extension and come down through the top , I got one of those 3ft breaker bars and that works good. If I can't get that through the top Then it is the long Snap On flex head , 18" Matco and a 1" Teckton on the 12 point Snap On socket. This combination will jus clear the starter ground stud. It is the IH trucks that have been the hardest for me and this is where the Snap On ratchet is the master as there is no flex in the handle due to the great tempering of the Snap On. For brake caliper bolts get a 1 3/16 12 point socket weld on a 3' ,1/4 by 1 1/2 flat bar. Works great for caliper bolts. Just stand on the bar, let your body weight do all the work for you.

The caliper bolts the striking wrenches are mainly on disk brake equipt trailers. Not a ton of room to get sockets/ratchets in there and with the axle there isn’t much for leverage either. You can definitely get it, but I’ve just found the striking wrench atleast in that particular situation works best, with the least amount of effort

@@AdriftAndAtPeace323 I understand the room issue which affects the hammer swing also. Just wrap your mind around a 12 point socket welded on a 3 or 4 foot bar. You will have all the bolts broken loose in the time you get two loose. Trust me.

I came from a shop where all we had were Volvos with ISX Cummins so it was nothing but metric. Since moved to a new fleet where it’s back to the standard stuff haha. I believe that rack I made. It might be one from Amazon. Can’t quite remember

Great tour, I also am a Diesel fleet mechanic, I work almost exclusively on busses at my current job, big Charter busses and also small airporter busses. What type of fleet do you maintain, is it mostly semi's or something else
@AdriftAndAtPeace323 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Just recently left my long time job working at a major tire distributor. There we had all class 8 tractors and trailers. Couple electric kelmar yard goats. Current fleet is more Of the same, however the new place I also work on forklifts, electric pallet trucks. and riding pallet trucks.

@@AdriftAndAtPeace323 nice, it's good that you are able to work on some electric vehicles and equipment now, since the wave of electric big rigs is steadily approaching. The company I work for does not have any electric busses yet, and probably won't for a while because of all the upfront investment it would take. Some of the busses they are running are around 20+ years old with more than a million miles, so maybe they will upgrade some of those to electric if they can, one can only wait and see.

Hey man I noticed how you mentioned on that Snap On Brake Bleeder you said you made a compu check adapter for fuel systems after services. Are you talking about Detroits and how they lose prime? Because I've wondered about making that exact set up you have, would it prime the system and get all the air out, so does it work well for you?

@AdriftAndAtPeace323 2 жыл бұрын
You need a 3/4 impact gun. You twist it till the clutch brake snaps. It’s by no mean easy or “clean” it does take some time however it beats torching and having molten slag falling on you

@AdriftAndAtPeace323 2 жыл бұрын
What would you define as “big stuff” in the 10 or so years I’ve been in this trade I’ve never run into much larger than a 1-1/2 bolt or nut. I have my axle sockets up to 4” and a couple specialty 3/4 drive sockets up to 2-3/4”
@JoseDiaz-bk9mh 2 жыл бұрын
@@AdriftAndAtPeace323 I had a feeling this was gonna cause confusion but I was too lazy to correct it. I saw your axle nut sockets but I’m referring to traditional style sockets. Those are them big ole thin sockets. Also, I wasn’t being fair when I said that. I’m also a fleet diesel mechanic but at our company I find myself working on a little bit of everything. From Peterbilts to big ole rock trucks. Guess you could technically say the heavy equipment is part of the “fleet”.
