I was stood talking with your dad today at our depo 😅 I pulled up and jumped out the van and it's only the professional strugglers dad 😂 small world! Hes a pleasure to speak too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I didn’t know you liked SAF axels so much that’s brilliant to know as we have a fleet of trailers well 50 to be precise all with SAF axles we can’t find anyone to work on them so will give you a call 😂😂

I got to tell you Chris, I am a mobile hgv mechanic inspired to go out on my own by you. I was filling out my diary last night trying to watch this at the same time, minding my own business, my little 4 year old Penelope sat beside me and out of nowhere she asked what day it was tomorrow, I said Friday and in a short time she shouted out it’s FRIDAYYY WOOP WOOP well talk about doubled up in stitches I was thanks for giving us another laugh as always

Bloody good show Chris i can remember when it where £1.20 a beer 🍺😂Now its a bloody rip off. I make me own 😂😂

Always got a smile on his face does Chris he really is the unstoppable struggler machine

Bloody good show 👏

That lever you didn't know what it was is a TELMA brake it works with electric magnets on the prop shaft i had one on a 8wheel tipper when you used it at night all ya lights went dim 😂😂

Another job well done Chris.. fair play to ya, your not shy of hard graft! Were a dying breed.. 👍🏻💰

Bloody good struggle 👍 can't beat the good old times 👍👍bet you didn't struggle drinking the fosters 😂😂keep the struggles coming 💪💪💪

Awesome video thanks struggler don't work too hard mate 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌞😉🔧🛠️🚛🚜🤑🤠

Watching the time-lapse is basically you smacking thing with a hammer 😂😂 great videos

Afternoon Chris…..it’s nearly thirsty Thursday….great to see the Church Hall Floor fund is already at £1700.00….mega….👍😜👌🇮🇲🍺

Bloody good show Chris!! Just watched your video in Tenerife waiting for my flight home. See you on the next one.... YEH I will!!!😂

your very patient with your customer watching your every move

Just a thought Chris, now that the Welderfabber has branched out on his own, will you and Bazz be meeting up again?

That lever on the Volvo probably used to be connected to a Telma retarder, big heavy magnetic unit would have been between gearbox and diff, used to be common on coaches before internal gearbox design like we have now

Few presents for you 🤗 Atleast you're not lying in puddles at the minute 🤗👍🇮🇪

Afternoon are chris. Hope you and the family are well 🎉🎉

Hi Chris. Apart from having to drill some nuts at least the hubs came of better than they usually do. Always done properly. And the off course the old stories that why we love your channel Chris. 👍

Hello Chris I am a 54 year old hgv struggler in France (originally from Nottingham)I've been living here now for 22 years do you not have the SAF integral kits in the UK? Over here they are 900 euros an axle £700 ish for you everything new except the caliper carry on the struggle, my breton missus says me and you could be brothers, same fashion sense, weight and hair style keep up the good work..

Some graft put in there Chris fair play 👊🫡

Afternoon Chris, I watched the official video on KZfaq from SAF, showing how to change their drums and discs. The bloke never even had a hammer and there was no swearing ! Lots of expensive looking special tools though.

Your stamina for hard graft is amazing. Knackered just watching.well done mate.Enjoy the truck show.

Fantastic 👊👊👊💪🏻

That was really nice of Ian to send you that box of stuff I would of donated to the church floor but i don't get anything till the 17 th but if the link still there as because you asked I will mate AL loves hes fancy lights you hate them saf axles but you fixed one again you love the struggle don't you mate 🤠🍺🍻

Looks like a great company to work for love this episode

Love the break dust plume as the drum comes off. Great work love the videos Thanks Chris

Awesome video again the longer the better 👍

Bloody good show whoop whoop

Nice work Chris 👍

Chris I remember the saf axel when you had a barrow of the puller they was the same plys in I remember right it was parked tite close they had to move it so you could work on it 👍🏻

Great video Chris, Great work and content. What a bloody struggle again with the saf hubs but at least you were having a bloody good laugh this time to keep your mind off the struggle bloody good show ye it was. See you on the next one Whoop whoop.

Those durite jump packs will start a self propelled sugar beet harvester, each battery is about 1000A starts them no bother Cracking work Chris.

Keep up the great vlogs Chris 👍👍. Happy to help with the church community hall 🙏👍👍

Nice one Chris 👍

Great stuff as always...

Quality as usual pal 👌

Bloody good show

Il also be at truckfest in a blue land rover d2 il try and keep my eyes open for u

Another Bloody good show 💪👍

That Volvo might have had an Telma electric retarder on it. They fit on the drive shaft out the back of the gearbox and between the rear axle. They work like the reverse of an electric motor and as you pull the lever it powers up the retarder more and more with each click of the lever. This then brakes the drive, means you don’t have to use the standard brakes as much and are not as hard on the engine as an exhaust brake. Means you can also keep the engine revs up. We had them on the underground mine trucks, due to long downhill runs fully loaded

That clulite head torch is very good mate use them all the time

Can be a little naughty them jump boxes, I blew a body module on a daf. I always put lights on now when jumping helps reduce the surge 👍

That looked like a very satisfying shoe and drum change!

Little lever is a telma I remember my dad had one in a volvo coach he used to drive

Go on Chris

awsome

Al needs to fit some LED spots to my Hilux.

Honestly truth this mate I find myself in traffic looking at trailers and thinking fuck saf axial s some poor sod got some shit coming since I been watching you Education at its finest ❤😂😂😂😂⚓🛠️🤠 JB

I always replaced the ABS sensors when i had a hub off it cost more to take the hub back off

How do you ever get any work done so much banter with every one lol

Hi Chris i think that is for your overdrive. Robert.

Did our notebook low loader today Chris torque settings on the hub nuts are 150nm plus 30 degrees give my regards to Danny as I met him and his father many years ago when they came and looked at out old f16 and f12 globetrotters in Suffolk. Crack on mate.

SAF (Sick As Fuck) axles when your asked to do the job. 😂😂

Bloody good show! Been waiting for this mate since you said there was a video out this week. I'm sure the daines Lowe boys use them jump packs you after ask Sam pal

Hated working on SAF axles thankfully didn't have to do it that often parts were bloody hard to get nobody local kept anything on the shelf and it had to be ordered normally took over a week to get parts keep struggling

Dont know whether or not you've tried it or not Chris but it could well be worth you getting some Metaflux torsion spray. We use it to loosen hard to undo nuts upto 80mm on farm tackle and it works wonders. Keep up the struggle.

Saf solid as fuck 😂😂

Chris, put a pepper pot nozzle on the gas bottles, and gently warm the nuts up…. POP of they come .

If you think £4.60 is dear for a pint you’ll pass out if you come down south 😂 £6.30 for anything decent down here. struggle at work, struggle at the pub.

Chris, it might be worth investing in a torque multiplier for those SAF nuts.

GREAT VIDEOS CHRIS WHY DID YOU CHANGE ALL THE HUBS WERE THE SHOES THAT WORN , ASKING BECAUSE IM LOOKING AT THE SAME TRAILER TO BUY 😊

SAF axles - Seized And Fucked

hi chris, i am sure i recognize kevin. did he used to drive for marleys at burton.

Ah yes good old SAF (soft & fucked)😂😂, I’ve NEVER had one that’s come off without the drill and split, trailer hubs and drums/shoes the staple of every apprentices 1st year 😂😂😂, no wonder I chucked the wagons and eventually ended up fixing trains 😂😂

S A F should have a solution for this seized nut thread malarkey is it lack of special grease on the threads or over torque never had any trouble with old Leyland stuff

Been thinking I might be able to get a good deal on some SAF axles if you really like them🇨🇦

is it not quicker to slit it with a grinder Chris.

You did say (whacking off) didn’t you Chris?😂

Where them lights from please or make thank you ❤❤❤❤

Coming soon new improved wireless battery charger lol

Where is the gofundme link chris ??

Hard days graft Chris. Can't beat a set of drum brakes last for ever compared to disc and pads. Forever putting pads in every 2/3 month and its a bloody miracle if the calipers not f&#ked

What days you going truck fest as I’d love to meet you and the kids

The telescope will save you climbing up high to look for repairs !?.

Hello Chris, is that Saf axle sort for saft 😊

Well lucky with those hubs chris I hate saf bpw is the way forward 🎉

Just a point was the block not to Deep ? Needs to be under the round part Not under the angle, I find a jack is best for that job ? Jack just over centre, Pre load bar, One good clout with the sledge, Job Done lol, I am only a part time struggler though, Same applies to wheel nuts that some clown has overtightend with an Air Gun, Looks like you had all the gear their especially to pre load the bar ffs, Did the Man on the sledge need more sleep at night lol, Keep Bolloxing on all the best.

Shi* And Fuc**d axles the best eh Chris

Cris I don’t know how you workout a rate of pay for the work you do , 10 30 pm and just finished,,,,, John retired driver / fitter

Try once.then drill them bastad nuts .. I used to wrap the threads with tape after getting the nut off just incase I dropped the hub on there

What's happened to Alex Channel chris ?

👊👍🤙💪👌

How do you price a job like that? Must b3 so difficult?

I'd be glad if i never see another one of them SAF axle.

Chris you know why them hubs fell off because of that drink you’ve been having and if you’d of had more your 1/2” wizz popper would of took the hub nuts off 👍

Been a hard shift but it looks as glamourus a job as agri and drainage contractor muck and grease and shite everywhere. 😁😜

You know what SAF means Chris (sad as fuck) because that’s what It makes you when you have to work on them 😂 hopefully see you at truck fest my old man wants me to face time him again with you like a donnington 🤣

saf = sILLY aS fOOK !

BLEEDING SAF

SAF = Stay Away From

Just a pity he wouldnt listen to you and your years of struggling
