One of my least favorite jobs to do on one of these cars...so I figured I would record myself fumbling through for the world to see. Hopefully, it helps someone out.
Thanks Adam You have just saved me a gob of time doing my dad’s limited! Awesome video keep keeping your mistakes in. Makes it VERY real
Okay people, since Adam is putting a lot of his time AND money into creating those quality videos, the least thing we can do is to subscribe (for free) to his channel. Why? Well, because he can start earning a little bit of money with his videos once he reaches 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours: To start earning money directly from YouTube, creators must have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past year. Once they reach that threshold, they can apply for YouTube's Partner Program, which allows creators to start monetizing their channels through ads, subscriptions, and channel memberships. How much money do you make per 1000 subscribers on YouTube? On average, a YouTube channel can receive $18 per 1,000 ad views, which equates to $3 - $5 per 1000 video views. As we speak, Adam has 460 subscribers, this board has 45,746 subscribers.... If only 10% of the board members subscribe to his channel, he will be at 4500 subscribers in no-time! So if you like his videos: hit the Subscribe button and also click the little bell icon. If you do that, you will receive a notification when Adam's next video is published. Also, give each one of his videos a LIKE when you watch them, that will also help Adam to get more and more views : I did the right thing, I'm subscribed, I liked the video and I also clicked the bell icon:
Although Chevs are similar they are easier to do than a Buick. AND, Chevs did not have a panhard rod or torque bars like Buick had so they wallow around more. Last for Chev torque tube was '54. Start of open drive was '55. Buick used the torque tube set-up for ride & handling purposes over open drive & it was a built in traction bar set-up also. I've done things a little bit diff. than Adam although the results were basically the same. I remember when I was going to a tech school back in the 60's I had to do a clutch in my '55 Special. The teacher wouldn't let me use the drive on lift as he thought I would be using the lift more than 1 day so I had to do it in the steam cleaning room. After I got it jacked up high enough & on jack stands & he came to inspect it to make sure it was safe & sturdy. I went about taking it apart. An hour later I asked him if he could road test it. He didn't believe I was done in an hour until I showed him the used/worn parts. After that he talked about it for weeks & to this day he still don't believe I was able to do it so quickly. I had LOTS of experience pulling that 5 bolt top cover trans. with the "Glass" gears repairing it that he didn't know about. Tom T.
