I use an old piece of a bike tire to wrap any pipes before I use the vice and vice grips. Saves from getting scratched

Lock-tite is used usually on bolts not hydraulic fittings, on fitting use Monster blue Teflon tape take it from a plumber

Got it 🤝 this method was recommended by the shop that manufacturers and used to install hydraulic set ups 🤷‍♂️. Thank you!

That pipe they welded on the shallow cups is to keep the coils from popping out while hopping. The shallow cup gives more lockup over the deep cups because the cylinder isn’t sunken in like with deep cups. It’s actually very smart.

@juanchavez7274 10 ай бұрын

⁠@@StillStandingGaragethose are shallow cups with pipe welded to them , was a common practice back in the 90’s to keep springs from flying out. Wrap a shop towel around your cylinders then put them in the vice and turn your fitting with a crescent wrench to keep from scratching your cylinders (especially when chrome)

You make information video bro appreciate your time btw if u only had like two of those donuts u could of just lift the car with jack then dumped it completely and pull up on the spring and cylinder and can be taking off even without removing anything not even the wheel

Thank you. Yeah, I'm not sure why I have so many donuts. I'm planning on re-doing my whole system, so I'm leaving it as is for now.

Looking good. What’s the reason behind the 5 donuts on the cylinder never seen that done

@StillStandingGarage 2 жыл бұрын

First time seeing it too. Never took these apart since the install back in '05. I'm thinking the car was sitting too low or the cylinders were hitting something in the engine compartment.

Appreciate all the kick ass videos! Quick question on the ball joints you installed. Do you have a link for where you bought them? Also, they are heavy duty correct? I am also working on a 79 Monte, w/ FBSS. I’m wanting to change out the ball joint’s, Thanks in advance.

@StillStandingGarage Жыл бұрын

Yeah, these are heavy-duty ball joints from what I read and was told. There's a link in this video's description. Nice! I love them 3rd gen Montes 🔥💯

Great video , I’m peacing together a system , I only have 1 doughnut for my cyilinder I see you have 4 , 5 of them do I have to have more of them . Thanks for your time

@StillStandingGarage Жыл бұрын

Nice! You don't necessarily need 5 donuts. I have 5 donuts because I believe my cylinders were hitting something in the engine compartment when they were initially installed. I put them back in since that's the way they came out. In the future, I'll be upgrading my whole system and will only be using 1 donut.

When you performed the job, does it matter if the front is locked up all the way or half way?

@StillStandingGarage Жыл бұрын

It makes it easier if no oil is in the cylinders. I locked it up to add the jack stands. Then I put a jack under each bottom a-arm to dump the front and remove the oil from the cylinders. It doesn't get messy either if no oil is in the cylinders. Thank you for watching 🤝💯
