Smallest Shaft Ever! FRIED Flywheel! | Project JEEP! 1995 Wrangler YJ

Part 3: Old Jeeps Die HARD! Thermostatic Switch and Water Pump! 95 Wrangler 4.0


Customer States: Engine barely runs and has a severe lack of power. It also has the occasional no start or long cranking before it starts. So far I've found vacuum leaks, clogged ports, antifreeze leaks from the water pump and the electric fan is damaged. I had the fuel pump, filter, spark plugs, ignition wires, and a distributor cap and rotor. It also has a new coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor, MAP, intake temp, IAC and throttle position sensor replaced. The ECM / PCM has been replaced too. See part one.

That little Milwaukee M12 stubby is bad ass.

I like the sneakyness making it look like the light was never removed from inside the bell hoursing when mating it back to the engine! Vehicle has a special inspection part now.

Besides Ray's mechanical abilities I love the way he explains how the interacting of all the different parts works.

[wackey]

ive learnt so much of you ray in this video in the last five years of been on youtube. Thank you

[elrobo]

I can't quite understand why I am watching this at O-dark thirty in the morning after being a mechanic for 60 years but I love to watch you do things and explain what you are doing. I think you would have additional career working at a local trade college with your ability to explain processes.

[ricktimmons]

I enjoyed this and every video or your journey through mechanics. pleae keep posting.

[mutt]

You should read George Orwell's 1984 were living in those times, great video of a classic automobile easy to work on compared to the new autos.

[therealswarvey]

Imagine Ray as a freshman, Thankyou sir, may I have ANOTHER!!!!

[AP]

Hey Ray, you forgot to brake clean the flywheel before you put the clutch parts on!!!

[queensapphire]

I love how you show ALL steps, including your misses and mistakes, what all of us encounter during a fix.

[iusedbfast]

So jealous to see all those bolts coming out so easy! If this Jeep lived in Ottawa it would have been scrap metal 10yrs ago!

[SquidBilly]

Dude you make this look way to damn easy.

[rustypanels]

Hi Ray,  
I am an old time mechanic from Australia and now retired but still working on everyones cars. I noticed the trouble you were having with removing the spigot bearing from the end of that crankshaft and thought you might like to try something that I was shown as a kid. If you fill the cavity with grease and then find a bit of wooden stick or anything close to the inside diameter and insert it, then hit it with a big hammer the hydraulic pressure will pop that bearing out easily. Give it a try next time.
I really enjoy your videos, makes me feel younger!

Cheers, Rusty

Tap that like button, because the man does awesome

THEN, Honestly, I don't understand HOW Ray has all of this knowledge, and still doesn't know that you use the BACK SIDE OF A slightly LARGER SOCKET, to drive the bearings for, well just about

Back of larger socket = bearings end up flush....

Front Side of socket = bearings end up Countersunk....

I guess I got it from having to pull and replace and PAY for my

Thanks UNCLE BENNY!!!!

[bradleycass]

Great video. Only a few things I'd suggest. Torque the flywheel bolts, clean the flywheel, change the rear main seal, clean the dust cover, change the input seal and lube the contract points on the clutch fork

[acdii]

Imagine laying on your back trying to guide an old 3 speed cast iron 1950's truck transmission into the clutch with nothing but your arms and chest to support it. Then imagine it is on a gravel drive. Been there, done that. Lifts and a jack would have done wonders for that job!

[oldman]

These are the videos I live for. Solid hour of wrenching. Thank you Ray.

[TimmyTechTV]

You are the first person to ever describe how a clutch and transmission work that I understood.

[Starchface]

The Jeep has turned into a real project, and I'm glad. Ever since it appeared at the other place I have been in love with it. It's going to be something when it's done.

[electrake]

Wow, @33:00 I can’t believe you didn’t torque the flywheel bolts and put a bit of thread lock on them. The crank to flywheel interface is constantly transferring major engine pulsations to the flywheel between each cylinders firing, I’ve seen these bolts back out from these vibrations and cause major damage. These bolts must be torqued.
