I enjoyed the video watching another younger old school mechanic actually fix things and not just replace everything. I can't be the only one watching this having done it myself but wondering if there's another trick I can pick up. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Chase, you are a live saber, I just replaced those bad Boys in my tráiler, your video made it so easy. I couldn´t find that extractor device here in Costa Rica, so I builded one up with left overs ($30) & it work just fine, thanks a lot, & please , keep those videos comming.

Hey Chase. Good video. Those bushings are tough. Thanks and keep’m coming.

I was thinking that tool. Would have been made if it were me. But then again looks like it was worth the price for sure. Thanks for the video showing the easy way of doing this.

Wow! I have that tool, and I've done several of these over the years but I have never seen them come out like this! Maybe it's where I live? But for me, I've even had to burn them out before. I wished I was so lucky lol

Them heaters remind me of afterburners :) You always work hard man, Another great video.

You can get by with a half inch impact but it will increase the wear on the acme screw. Doing it with a 3/4 or 1 inch and youll turn those threads into a slinky. Ive seen it a bunch of times, after they were sent back for warranty claims. Head of the screw was knocked down at the corners from extended ugga dugga sessions and not so much as a drop of the special high pressure grease on it, and the threads sheared right off. No grease and a big impact was sure denial and those things arent cheap. Particularly if you need all three, the wide Hendrickson, the narrow one and the one for the Meritor, think we did the three for $2500 back when they were new and we were the only aftermarket company that had managed to make it without violating the patent. Ive also seen some people ask why the mark and why the bushing has to be lined up just so. For those that dont understand, the bushing allows movement and absorbs shocks in the vertical axis thru the half-moon holes. Its solid front to rear though so the alignment and the spacing between that axle and the rest stays locked in pretty well. Its a pretty smart design, just expensive to replace between the parts and those tools...

I made one of those tools and used one of the large washers that come with the bushing kit to pull it through since it’s smaller then the bushing it pushes the center of the bushing in and compresses it in worked pretty good and use the large impact gun on it and goes right in like butter 🧈

Ypu just helped me decide of i want to let the trailer shop do it or do it myself lol. That looked like a good bit of work

Que bien lo felicito que comparta este trabajo, espero pueda compartir otras cosas con respecto a los camiones, saludos desde Peru.

Good job man right on

Good job brother! Very thought work but, if you want something done right you have todo you self! I think i have the same problem you had, my tires is waring on edge! I have done alignment and problem continue! Those guys at TA truck stop doesn’t know shit !!

Thank you

You should really check out the extreme cam kits - there are some great products for heavy duty trailers.

Where do you get that tool that takes them out and puts them back in?

Wath can couse 10 mounts old east trailer on sliding axel the tire is rubbing on the frame when making sharp turns

Hi whats the tool you used to install the bushing on the platform???

Man I wish I had your brains and know how to do this stuff

Wutdahell is it cold in alabama today

Chase ya should have went for the KY instead of the tire lube , what were ya thinkin buddy :)

What would be an indication that I need to replace the bushings on my suspension. I have a Fontaine flatbed and I’m getting depression wear on the inner forward trailer axles.

Hows it going Chase , years ago there was a guy out here in California that built a portable hydraulic press , he had a airplane and would fly all over the state changing those bushings out in the field .

💯💯

what is the tool # ?? that's a good job

Good video..i need them done on my 09 reefer wabash...the shop told me it's going to take 16hours or more is that almost true? How much did the parts cost you? Just wondering bc I was going to get an alignment bc my tires keep getting ate up and people keep saying my bushings are bad

busing god expor

Easy ! I do this many times

How do you when the bushings needs to be replaced?

If you take the extensions out of the impact only when you have to have them you lose 30 percent of torque with extensions flopping around, and use never- seize on your parts you don't want to corrode even your lugs for sure with bud wheels and any other bolts your ever want to take back apart,old time retired trucker - mechanic trust me in time you will thank me.

So what is the model number of the Tool?

Hammering with a chisel can get the adjustments out. Welding a nut seems excessive.

3 hour job at the most Wilkens trailers baby

Las tuercas se quitan aparte de las roldanas de alineación. Luego se quitan con uno o dos cinceles.

I'll be surprised if that tool last you for another job, they are very easy to mess up, you have to heat the pivot arm first till they start to smoke then extract them, and then you have to clean all the rust built up then install them, so many rookies have fukd the tool up in the shop doing it your way, and the tool is not cheap in price but cheap on materials it's made out of

You can get those sleeves out with an airhammer instead of welding a nut just fyi

It's good to watch video to sometimes learn what not to do... I see you didn't even use penetrating spray to loosen none of the stuff you took apart... the part to install the bushing its recommend for the price u pay not to use it to get them out.... I cut them off with a reciprocating saw saw... the alignment procedure it's all wrong, have the idea but not the best way to align specially using wooden4x4... 👍👌🙈🙈🙈😎😍

Got one of these tools for sale

To use a impact wrench to pull the bushing into place is a waste of air and time, let alone loss of hearing. Next time use a TorcUP Volta VT-2000 non-impacting battery powered torque wrench. It will deliver a nice steady 8 rpm with 2000 lb-ft of torque instantly drawing that bushing into place so quickly and so quietly that you will never touch an impact for that work again. Why work so hard, work smarter.

Can't you burn them out? In the auto world, I would just get the torch and melt them!
