I love you man. You make me want to work on stuff again. So thankyou. Im a enginnerr also but suffer from deep depression but i do get good days when i want to do everything and get every tool out and get that satisfaction on fixing things. Thanks for the videos feels like im there with you struggiling !

Chris you legend

You are a good dad Chris, you really love your kids. You make time to do stuff for them and spend time with them.

Mobile HGV mechanic, What a hard graft, Respect Chris! 👍

Chris one man's trash is another man's treasure 👍🏻

Strugglers Gym - you should trademark that! Bloody good job again.

I've sat here smiling the whole way through your video. Lovely… 'cushty'. Just how real people have to fix things. 😁

Your right Chris, illegal as the reflectors won't reflect 😂

That boy is way too smart for his own good... you're a good father.

Broken bolts are not good. I watched a video by diesel pump uk, he used an impact torx after drilling through bolt. Ive used this twice myself and it works!.

Daft daf brake disc clip thingies . proper job

Brilliant chri

I may be showing my age now ,but the bolts where a pre production idea ,it was meant to be a large circlip ,but they stuck with the bolts..A bit you probably do not know about is the L shaped spacers that fit between the disc and hub ,there are 2 different types ,1 for the rear hubs and 1 for the front so 1 is smooth and 1 is ribbed ,from what we get taught if you fit the smooth one on the wrong hub it can cause a overheat situation ,I honestly can't remember which is which ,we just fit the ribbed to all axles and no overheat issues...Designers do not care as long as it lasts out of warranty lol...A tip for future is an impact screwdriver ,so as you hammer it ,you shock it as well as rotating it ..I have found after many many years on these hubs when the bolt shears ,the stub extractor that hammer on the stud with the spiral that grips work well...As a rule we would change the exciter ring and the sensor if it doesn't move

Chris I sent you the extension lead via Partic. I ordered it from e bay and had it delivered to them as that's your second home . You were struggling with the welder the other week . Might make one job less of a struggle. Keep it up , bloody good show 😆

Chris you remind me of my grandad he would make us all sorts of stuff your such a good dad.

In all the years I’ve been around boats and worked around shipping I’ve never seen anyone turn a mooring buoy into part of a boxing gym! 😂😂😂. Brilliant mate and it’s things like this which make this channel ⚓️⚓️⚓️

Just brilliant. Living the dream despite the nightmare jobs. Great crew around you also.

Chris those discs aren’t wrong I’ve fitted that style in the past, it’s like a newer updated design to get away from those silly little clips. even trp sell them too👍🏼

it is nice to chris and josh taking an interest in there children giving them confidance it is so emotional seeing the kids all so happy and the little baby,joe helping you today chris and your son on the boxing equipment you built he knows what he is doing awwwwww i wish all dads were like you and josh chris and all them kids are a credit to you all,when you said to joe you do not have to do anything now and he answered no you dont and you get all the money chris lol i realy enjoyed watching that the banter is great whooopie whoopie out

Good vid pal especially at the end xxx

use left hand drill bits to remove broken bolts and use a 1st tap taper not a plug tap to help recut the thread easier well done Chris keeping the struggle going

Hello Chris, i agree, those Daf disc bolts are awful! What i do, is after removing hub/disc assembly, i cut the disc in five equal places, without scoring the hub, using a 12" disc cutter. With a big hammer, i knock the disc off the hub in five pieces, leaving the rusty waisted bolts protruding from the spokes of the hub. Then heat each spoke, sometimes red hot, with the oxy gas & using grips loosen the bolts- i hav'ent broken one yet. I always fit genuine Daf discs 'cos they don't come loose. Keep up the good work!

I thought he was settin that up to grow a mobile crop 😂😂😂

Chris you need a set of square extractors, they don't spread out the broken bolt. I've also have had luck with the fine spiral type, the shoulder bottoms out against bolt and assists in removal. Have tried all just need to be calm lol and it will work out lol

Another quality video, nearly spat my Stella all over the screen a few times..

Sometimes if i haven't got an extractor set I just drill a hole then tap a torx bit into it, works most the time, can't beat an oxyacetylene torch though for getting things moving again.

Geet up criss charva lovely timing just about to have our tea ❤ Keep on struggling me owld mukka !

Afternoon Chris…….whoop whoop…….👍💪🇮🇲

Top job hope your well mate 👍👍👍

It's ok them reflectors lighting up when he's with the vehicle but reflectors are meant to illuminate when a vehicles headlights shine on them when it's parked up in the dark From the vehicle inspectors rules. (a) Reflector: (i) colour or position not in accordance with the requirements

Woop woop! 😂👍🏻

Excellent video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍

Quality yet again chris 👏 👌 👍

YOU HAVE SUCH HAPPY KIDS ❤BE PROUD STRUGGLER ❤

You’ve no shortage of apprentices Chris, top dad as well, keep up the good work mate!

ace .

"RUST", nature's threadless. 😮. Keep smiling Chris and Co. Thanks for sharing

You're an awesome dad Chris.

Awesome video Chris good job letting the young lad help out. Little Birdie doing the supervisor job again. Lovely little baby girl. 💕👏🤣🇨🇦.

Great Vid Chris. Good tip for those bolts is to smash them first with a hammer and a punch of sorts to brake the rust off. hammer socket and then 3/8 breaker bar and prevents the snapping. then wizz them off with the 3/8 and job good

Never say die. A good investment might be a set of left hand drill bits. They have got me out of many situations such as this one. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration to us all.

Gday Chris, another struggling episode my English brother😊

Top Video Chris !👍👍👍👏👏👏👏❤❤it

Looks like your needing a trip to tool shop...great vids

You Never fail to get me in my emotions bro ! Your such an inspirational dad . Seeing you do that gym then to see the boys reaction ! It was priceless!! Your raising kids to live in reality mate and it’s great to see . ❤

Great video chris. Aidens find must be worth 4 fosters. See you on the next one.

good stuff chris nice to see joe getting stuck in hgv mechanic of the future woop woop.

Nice 1 Chris, again you make me smile. Your Lad was well pleased with his gym. You made his day, keep up the struggle and keep smiling. Say hello to Josh and see you on the next one, woop woop.

This is rapidly becoming my favourite youtube channel greetings from Belgium

Thanks again for the smiles Chris. Bloody good show!

Chris you must have the DEEPEST pockets in your county lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍Buy a new bus f.g.s

Hi Chris , I see someone is now recording in 4k 👍🏻👍🏻 I think the manufacturers realise there is more in servicing and parts than the initial cost of the vehicle ... I think we come from a time when parts used to be cleaned and machined and refitted. That one bolt .....I think we could all write a book about how things are going well until it shears !!! My worst was an exhaust mount ....arghhhhh! I don't think that 13mm ring spanner will ever be found again I threw it that hard into a field 🤣🤣 What a decent young man Joe is ...dressed for the country , happy getting his hands dirty and listens !! Unique in these days of snap chat ! *I think you've got Josh out the shit enough to not pay to the £20!* Strugglers Gym open for business! The yellow thing is a buoy to protect the hull as you come into dock or are moored.....probably off a canal boat .. Whoop whoop 😁!! Be safe , be kind G 🦉🦉🙏

Big thumbs up for making your lad happy with what you made love it

Love the gym!

It must be a very frustrating job Chris but for viewers entertaining 😅

Great video Chris couldn't agree more those clips are a poor idea

Another good vid Chris keep up the good struggle mate

You and the family are amazing. Give your josh a tenner for being funny.

Chris, many thanks for another brilliant video - 1.48 minutes looks like the nearside spring is broken as well

Need to use square type extractor as for spiral extractor I've found that the short one that bottoms out on broken bolt works fairly decent last choice drill and retap gd luck

Woop woop

Right discs Chris! Just new and improved 😁😁😁also with Daf and Volvo discs I’ve always cut the disc in 3 with a 9” welt the disc with a sledge breaks off like a terrys choccy orange. Relives the pressure of the bolts. Spray them, heat them all come out every time 👍😁

You know the old saying put us in a room with car designers and we would be the only ones who walk back out of the room woop!! woop!!!

Love this channel😍

1:48 that’s left spring is definitely snapped my boy

Love seeing the kids help out. Chris you make my day bro😊

Hi Chris for drilling out broken studs try left hand drill bits

need a air hammer and a impact driver to get them bolts out in ten minuets. and i only ever fit genuine daf discs ive had them type come loose.

Awesome video thanks struggler 🛠️ hope you had a great weekend 🍺🍺🍺🍺🤫🇬🇧🛠️🔧

Bloody good show Chris, you just make me laugh 😂 you a breath of fresh air 👍🙂

Well done bud fantastic job safe safe all 👍👍👍😂🤣🍺🍺🍺

Another great video has always chris and family 👍

Bloody Good Mate Al is 👍 friends you can rely on are hard to find.

Excellent as always...

Really good dad Chris. Little time and effort is massive in my eyes kids love dad's that are creative. My kids go to school and play on something and me son goes my dad could make that lol

Bloody good show Chris....

Another classic!Such an entertaining channel.

Hi Chris. Every time I watch your vids. You always make me laugh or smile. Your boy looked well please with his strugglers gym. Snapped bolt, blunt drill and tap broken most people would have had enough not you. You just get on with it. Have a good week mate 👍

Get some copper grease on the threads so they come out easy next time.

The best yet Chris, if you ever need a proper job doing get Joe lol bloody good show 😅

Good stuff fettler..

Excellent video Chris..... As for snapped bolts...... Imagine working on a 1936 Austin Seven and spapping a manifold stud that goes into an ally block..... Well that was me last week, take a look on my channel for the video.

there is some good extractors out there best one ive used is macs rbrt extractors expensive but safed the day a good few times

Use a tap wrench handle for the extractor. Make sure the hole is big (deep) enough and smack the extractor smartly with a hammer to set it properly. Don't miss. There are also straight fluted extractors and spline extractors. The splined ones are for fine work. I like the straight type because it grabs a longer area.

Keep it up mate love your vids

love the vids keep it up

Brilliant 👏 them disc's stupid idea you was lucky just one snapped and you must have good eyesight sharpening them bits with a grinder.

🤘😎🤘 Brilliant 👍

Why is oil light flashing on the struggle bus😂. . .Does the service counter/plan need resetting? Usually, it won't do routine regen on dpf if that's flashing as thinks oil is dililuted and needs changing. I'd be tempted to reset if oil has been changed fairly recently or fire some new oil in and reset😝

It's not Gripping as you heated it up then put water on it so you turned it hard as nails heat it up and let it cool down slowly

Class as usual; when will we see you in the Ring with the other so called you tubers 🥊🥊? 😂🤠

Time for some cobalt drill bits and hss tap and die set??

Get some snap-on extractors.👍

You can buy. The full set up. For that Peugeot van.ive done it with mine.but mind a belingo.

Another great blog keep up the good work!!

Id send in the invoice Jo for all your hard labour lol, Theres nothingwrongt with that wheel Chris as its only flat on the bottom Lol

That oil can warning light flashing is requesting an oil change. You can reset it through the pedals once some. Best keep on top Of the oil on those engines as they can get diluted.

Great video Chris you are my top KZfaqr bloody good show 😂

Best drill bits to buy chris are erbauer from b&q 25 quid a set and they will drill cap heads👌

Mate, take the seatbelt out and put some engine oil on the locking mechanism, this will dampen it down and you can pull the belt out. Had the same issue with a passat, worked a treat and saved 90 quid for a secondhand one.
