How Pakistani Mechanic Resurfacing Flywheel and Change Old Clutch Plate On Road of a Truck

I like the gearbox winch, simple, efficent, can be build from scrap on the place! But the flywheel has so much heat cracks that's a miracle it's still in one piece.
yes and how they grind down the clutch it wont be flat so it will get more hot spots i know they can drive like this but not for long
This is some of the most non-OSHA approved shit I've ever seen.
Right?! Amazing.
These guys are true heroes! Working without any proper equipment and still getting their job done brilliantly!
Thanks for watching 😊
They've got *some* proper equipment - perfectly good set of spanners, for a start. I must say, though, that using an old prop shaft and a bit of wire rope as a hoist is straight-up genius, and running the engine as a way of resurfacing the flywheel is excellent bush engineering (if a bit dangerous for my tastes). A friend who spent his childhood in Africa in the mid-20th century told me tales of similar tricks.
Я что, спрашивал тебя волнует меня это или нет ? Я и имел в виду что ребята делают такую работу без оборудования.
Heroes ? They are terrible !!!!! That flywheel is a few turns away from exploding ! Did you not see all the deep cracks and uneven surfaces ! Even the fingers on the pressure plate are worn down . I'm sure the throwout bearing is damaged and worn ! Plus ! They will warp the disc putting the tranny in like that ! Thank God they practice there and not here !!!!
@@theflyingscotsman9902 I'm afraid they do practice here
Skilled in resurfacing the pressure plate with a number 5 rock... very cool
It's nuts lol
@@alex45766754 But people are cheering it on, the cracks were kinda over looked they should of filled them with bubble gum..
Pashtun ingenuity. No boots, eye protection, pneumatic/electric tools, lifts, Snapon, Matco, etc, but they get the job done. I salute these fellas.
And probably all self taught and learned thier skills from father to son and from experience.
Какие молодцы, работают слаженно спокойно, никаких нервов и мата.... А как они точат маховик, который надо выбросить.. Просто шедевр)
Наверняка диск тоже старый оставили, просто переклепали накладки из слоновьей кожи- еще походит!
Flywheels with that many cracks is why God invented the skatter shield...
Boy Howdy... Welp if they lost any tools inside this machine its OK...they will be back in there soon enough to retrieve them !
lol yeah luckily we've got the benefit of being snobby western mechanics who know it all
@@Dec38105 I know you are just having a laugh. While I am a Western Mechanic, there is no snobbery involved in my opinion on this job. There are ways to do things correctly and incorrectly and it has nothing to do with fancy tools. Knowledge will always appear as snobbery to stupid people
@@SquillyMon ok keep ya wig on oh knowledgeable snobby mech
@@Dec38105 LOL You must have missed the first line where I said "I know you are just having a laugh"...which was included so as not to seem like I was calling you stupid personally, which I wasn't. Sadly I now have my doubts, but don't worry, my wig is on and it looks fresh as hell...son
The way these trucks are so overloaded, I’m amazed that they can move at all. I’d hope it is a great repair, but I do believe the flywheel should have been taken out, fixed if possible, or simply replaced. I am still amazed at the “CAN-DO” attitude these people have when it comes to making vehicle repairs, no matter how difficult. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Flywheel has definitely seen better days. Hopefully it will keep working for a little while, but it's clapped out.
There is no way to "fix" that flywheel short of remelting, recasting, and remachining it.
Greetings from England 🇬🇧 . Another great video proving there's an easier way of doing things rather then very expensive workshops and very expensive bills.
Thanks for your love and appreciation 😘
Easier?? I didn't see one part that appeared easier to do aside from the overhead of a full shop. Resurfacing a flywheel with a rock while the engines running does not look easy to me, it gets the job done but it sure isn't easy...
Would you bring your car into a shop where they told you that they were going to resurface the flywheel with a rock?
The initial bill will be low but in the end it will cost more because the job will not last. Neither the flywheel or pressure plate will make full contact with the driven plate which will result in premature slipping and another clutch replacement.
@@atcmadness4351 Actually, it does not get the job done. While it will clear off the glazing from the old clutch, there is no way you can actually machine the surface and remove waves and warps with a rock. A rock held by hand only follows the warped surface vs. cutting out the warps which is done with a lathe. Using this method the new clutch will last significantly less time than one where the flywheel was machined flat.
I remember doing similar jobs...the best pay was knowing that I did a great job and got the truck back on the road. This is what men do.
But don't drop the gearbox on your foot, especially if you're only wearing 'Industrial protective sandals ! Jesus, imagine dropping that on your foot. A word of advice though, when removing a badly worn clutch assembly...ALWAYS take a big deep breath first, this way you don't inhale the clutch dust which can be injurious to your health. Smoking helps protect your lungs from asbestos inhallation. Never done me any harm. Love the refacing of the flywheel, that really is innovative, I wonder if anyone has lost a finger or two ? I wonder if young UK motor engineer would be able to 'Adapt' to the primitive and basic approach to vehicle repair and maintenance. People might laugh but the bloody truck works.
@@oldgitsknowstuff Necessity is the mother of invention. Men do what they can with what they have available. 3rd world mechanics are seen as primitive but I have lots of respect for them after seeing them work this way. I wonder how many come backs they get?
@@javiermgtaoism5702 I think the concensus of opinion is respect from those who've seen this video. I was so impressed that I subscribed to thier channel. Hopefully some financial good will come thier way. Truely remarkable. I don't think that have a customer warranty in place. Still, when has a customer warranty been of any use ? it never covers the bits that's gone wrong with the repair.
No need for a clutch alignment tool - just lie on your back and push the gearbox back on with your flip flopped feet. Great stuff!
@@minorityofone1510 they did use an alignment tool.
I watch you repair so many things on this site that we in the west would just throw away and buy new. Well done to all. You show how much we waste in the west when it could just be repaired. Thank you for your posts.
labor cost in the west makes it more economical to replace just take out and replace parts..I found out its the best and safest thing to do.
Look at the accident and death rates in India compared to the west due to poor repairs, non existent maintenance, clapped out and worn old shit and poor, reckless drivers
Love the gearbox winch! This should be an instructional film for all aspiring REME vehicle mechanics as to the art of the possible in field repairs!
Same here, I spotted the homemade winch too. You can't help but admire their ingenuity.
I did agricultural mechanics for 5yrs and then in charge of maintenance at three limestone quarries for 2yrs. Improvisation out on site is the norm.
@@mrmyorky5634 I noticed that too. I was going to acknowledge that it was the 'Taliban ' winch but thought better of it owing to the current world political climate. I wonder what their hourly labour rate is... Credit where its due eh. High 5s all round.
My thoughts exactly. But we old uns did not do too bad in terms of field repairs, with fewer hands.
@@bridgetown45 Or fingers ! Lol. Respects.
If Pakistan has sincere politicians, this country has so much potential. Pakistanis are tough hardworking people.
Hopefully they have ordered a new flywheel and pressure plate assembly from Amazon and are just moving the truck to a better location until the parts arrive, but I doubt it !!! Bless them all for what they can accomplish with the bare minimum of tools and equipment and a ton of elbow grease !!!
fly wheel & pressure plate will be fine. I do the same on tractor except i use an angle grinder. I would have changed the pilot brg. amusing work on the side of the road. hat off.
@@honeybadgerhoneyb4422 I agree, they`ll be fine. Bush Master: A bare minimum of tools is all that`s required by us top mechanics and engineers. Want to see an example, check out Allen Millyard`s workshop....no big Snapon tool chests or trick tools. His main tools for creating motorcycle specials are a few old spanners, hacksaw and a draw full of files, a BBQ and his imagination. One of his bikes was clocked at 207mph(not kph) I resurface brake discs and drums(reverse them), like these blokes do with that flywheel..
cracks on the flywheel, is the cause of initial problem. The job done is OK, These guys need to earn a living. Roadside job, even 10000 miles, the owner will be happy.
This is the Amazon delivery truck that's why they're so frantically trying to get it fixed... Ha Hah Hah Hah Hah
There is no such thing as Amazon here in Pakistan
Watching this video really makes me wonder how important torque specs really are.
Watching this should make you terrified to be on the same road.
@@VenomKen especialy that crack flywheel
When you overtighten a bolt and it keep turning endlessly bc you stripped it you won't be wondering any longer.
If youve been a mechanic for 10 plus years, you know the feeling of a tight bolt. Even torque specs can fail you if you dont lube your bolt, you use too big of an extention, or maybe your torque wrench isnt even calibrated anymore. If it feels right, its good to go!.
The torque spec is neccesary. The need to have a fancy tool to actually measure it? Probably not so much. You develop a feel for fastener torque.
Hardworking men working with limited equipment. I don't suppose they'd give you a 10,000 mile warranty with every clutch repair but if you're ever stuck out in the middle of nowhere with big mechanical problems and very few tools, I'd back these guy's every time.
Проточка корзины просто восхитительна . А у того кто маховик шлифовал видимо всегда найдется пара запасных рук . Вообщем это Пакистан

Translated: "The basket groove is amazing. And the one who polished the flywheel probably always has a pair of spare hands. In general, this is Pakistan."
@@igorrudevets6463 translation, "Yes, there will not be enough with hands alone, he will reel everything."
Ваще непонятно нафига было этим заниматься, результата ведь нет. Можно было просто феродо подкинуть и собирать.
Well nice work if thats just to get ya out trouble for the short term. But that flywheel is not long before being in multiple pices ! Hope the floor pan is in good shape? Seems like a lot of work to nit replace them, but it is what it is. I like how you guys made a home made breaker bar from a pice of 3/4 1" rod . Works great by the looks. 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was the first thing I noticed. That flywheel is cracked in a thousand places. It's not long for this world.
@@chuckschillingvideos its likely been in service for 30+years and has had this done half a dozen times, i bet its still going fine.
they are good at what they do so from experience they know when to replace the flywheel
All I need to know I saw when he let the clutch out and it took off smoothly without jerking. Great Job.
Hard working mechanics God bless them🙏💐💐💐
Why'd i not think of using a rock to resurface my clutch surfaces!!... every day's a school day
It’ll be back in 8 hours don’t worry
Just in case you're not being sarcastic - Because it is the absolutely wrong way to do it. Yes its easier than unbolting flywheel and putting it on the surfacer machine, (esp since these guys doubtless don't have one to use either). But the clutch pedal will probably develop major shudder through the pedal if it doesn't have that already and he will feel that at every shift.
@@robertmaybeth3434 that flywheel was beyond repair..... should be replaced
The built-in lathe is legendary! The whole video gives me so many nightmares, I am afraid I might not be able to wake up.
My homeland Pakistan , they don’t replace to many parts because of high cost and availability on these vintage trucks the mileage is over 700 thousand , they work the old fashioned way repair old and make it new again takes its takes big nuts and poverty to re design fabricate and re engineer old stuff into new love and passion but under appreciation
WOW Skilled! Love the device to lift gear box! OMG! Grinding fly wheel in the engine crazy! Now I am confident to fix my little truck on the side of road as well!
All done with a couple of "FUKUNG-ON BRAND" wrenches, a home made transmission winch and a piece of rock to resurface the flywheel on the side of the road - that's pretty badass haha 🙂👍
Very hard worker, hope he gets what it's worth. Those workers are all little wonder boy's , ..... most can learn from them a thing or 2,3....so more ...lol. ThnXs for the share my friend.
Did you see all the stress/heat fractures in the flywheel ? I would love to know how long it lasted. Hey, maybe it’s still running. Cheers
lucky Diesel spins at lower speeds but an explosive finish is imminent.
my point!
you mean pressure plate
@@saif1002 if you go to 5:07, you will see the huge cracks in the flywheel. But you are right about the pressure plate looking bad also. Cheers
@@joycethomas8868 your right, I didn't see that. Nice one.
Brilliant work & nothing left over at the end!
That was amazing. Great job done quick with minimum tools. I loved their winch. I guess you use what works.
I have seen a bamboo improvised winch like that on a roadside job years ago. It worked.
The flywheel has “Hydrogen embrittlement” cracks. By the way, these people use the most advanced “clutch centering” tool that I ever seen, fair head protection helmets but no steel toe shoes.
Great work in difficult situation!👍🏻
Hats off to these guys, truly a case of Rough Engineering Made Easy.
This is a country where repair and make do are the norm
we in america could learn from that
Mechanic skills, 5 stars. Whoever drives the truck skills, no stars.
Awesome job guys! Thanks upload
Very impressive very clever . A good way to repair .old school inovashon brilliant job well done
🤣
IF THE TRUCK DON'T COME TO THE SHOP ,,, WE GO TO THE TRUCK ,,, NO COMPLAINTS NOW ? WHAT YOU PREFER STAY IN THE ROAD ,OR GO DELIVER !!! GREAT GUY'S NEVER GIVE UP BLESSINGS
Thanks for your love and appreciation ❤️
Excellent work , on the side of the road....
Thanks for your appreciation 😊
The decoration of the truck is colorful and fun. Wonder how it holds up with so much dirt road:)
awesome videos. i feel like im on vacation with a friend and he is showing me what he does for work. im chillin in the sun watching the trucks go by. yep.
We ran Volvo rigs and Hinos in the Middle East and insisted our managers got EVERYTHING serviced at Volvo, Toyota etc just so some shade tree mechanic wouldn't botch it and kill the driver and someone else. The Head mechanics were always expats so made sure it was done right.
The 'Expert Expat who smells like 'Supremicist' thinking that only the Expats can do it RIGHT...whereas us Pakistani People will build an Atomic Bomb (Where Precision and Art transforms metal into weapon of Death and Destruction) from basic materials (There were sanctions on Pakistan, whereas our Arch Enemy India, who exploded it first, did not face any sanctions) but lot of expertise and ingenuity
All credit to these guys - a job well done with the minimum of resources!
Brilliant job bet self taught and a scaffolding pole and wire rope as a lift genius well done.
No complaints on a work ethic! Imagine what these guys could do with the proper tools and good parts? Did anyone else notice the huge stress cracks in both the flywheel and the pressure plate? From where I live those would never be reused! It looked like tiny Grand Canyons on the surfaces! What kind of stone did the mechanic use as a cutting stone? But hey, the truck likely has millions of miles on it so just keep it going! Thanks for the video guys!
Radial surface cracking on flywheels is often not terminal as they are usually very shallow and will machine off. However, I must agree that those ones looked awfully deep
Enjoyed the 'winch' device for lowering/raising the box. Simple and highly effective.
I am impressed with their resourcefulness but they wouldn't get away with that in the rust belt of the United States where every bolt and nut are frozen hard. They do show a lot of skill but I suspect that's from lots of experience with inferior equipment. Good for them , they work very hard.
Yes. US is center of the universe. The best of the best of the best!!!
You are spot on about the rust belt-living here in NE Ohio impact wrenches and torches are must have tools.
and doing it over and over and over instead of doing it right
@@boaterbil I mean I know a bunch of so call "pros" that do hack jobs that you would call the "doing it right" type... its just they are slick enough to hide the bs they do...and those same types talk stuff about these guys...least these guys are honest enough to not hide the bs they do.... LOL
You gotta have some respect for a guy willing to grind the surface of a flywheel with a rock....in his hands...while the engine is running...
What a great job these guys did by the side of the road. That clutch assemby must have weighed a ton and was manhandled into position single handed!!! No torque wrench in sight - but they seemed to know what they were doing. Real tough guys. I think the truck was manufactured by Hyundi. They must make great trucks.
No service garage, no proper equipment... Just the Will and Desire to repair the truck. These ppl are real MEN. They just do it!
This is exactly the way my dad used to do when his truck broke down away from home . He ran Thames Traders, often grossly overloaded. The gearboxes in these were notoriously weak, so he used old WWII vintage Clark 5-speeds which also broke. He used to keep a spare gearbox in the garage, ready to rush to the rescue. I, as a teenager, would help him do the job, often in the dust of dirt roads. We once changed timing gears at the docks at Darling Harbour amid the cranes loaders etc. We got good at improvising lifting trolleys and the like. I can see my old man's spirit in these blokes. Brings a tear to my eye.
I once had to drive a Thames Trader, the gear lever was somewhere behind my seat ! As a young apprentice I wondered how anybody could drive such a monstrosity. But...I was working at our Main Ford Dealers....
@@oldgitsknowstuff You're so right.They were a TERRIBLE truck. My dad bought one as his first new truck, in 1968, thinking breakdowns wouldn't happen so often with a new one. The salesman assured him that it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well,part from having super heavy steering, vacuum boosted brakes that failed , that ridiculous rear gearstick, it went through 6 gearboxes in 2 years, stripped the timing gear twice (once on a busy dock where ships were unloading, broke the diffs so many times, had the wet cylinder sleeves pinhole corrode through, Chassis cracked at the spring hangers, plus too many others to mention. Ten times worse than the old Commer "knocker" he'd driven previously.
@@autophyte Remind me. Is the Commer Knocker the old TS3 with the horizontally opposed diesel engine ?
@@oldgitsknowstuff Yes, it was. It had the greatest exhaust note too.
@@autophyte Strange you should say that. The Rootes Group main agents were opposite to the Ford agents where I worked. We could hear the commercial fitters starting up the TS3s after an engine swap. A very distinctive sound. ! Happy days.
I'm worried for the guy working on that flywheel 😔 These guys work hard!
I watch these with real pleasure watching these men creating and innovating. I would like to see what they do when a bolt breaks. Drill and tap for Helicoils?
I'd hire those guys in a second. There are guys in my shop that can't get anything done even with all the latest equipment and parts. However I would ask them to wear steel-toed sandals !
Hello from Sweden and a fellow mechanic. I have worked with Pakistans, not in mechanics but still. I can tell you, they are great to work with. There was about 20 of them and only one knew English, barely. I told him what to do and he told the other guys, no problem.
@Edward Martinez that may be true but I had no problem working with them.
Necessity is The Mother of all invention. Good for another 500,000 miles!
omg ! i would never have thought a lump of rock and spinning the fly wheel by the engine power would work as a machine surface . fantastic idea ! love it
Let's see what happens when you check it for runout?
The conversation id amazing...the Head mechanic is telling the driver of the vehicle.."You know why I am a Mechanic? Because I am also a driver...I was a driver first and then became a mechanic..."
By not replacing the flywheel they get to do it all again soon, that's a sustainable business model. You get to charge twice for labor.
The labor is very cheap, compared to a new flywheel, in my country maybe it's 5 to 7 times cheaper than buying a new one
truck owner will say reused it after a quick fix . it runs almost 7-9 months

Unbelievable anything still runs. That flywheel is about to come apart and there is no way he got it flat with that rock. My absolute respect for what these mechanics do without even a ratchet wrench.
Very clever and impressive "bush mechanic" of excellence!!!
Bengkelnya rajin dan teliti semoga sukses....!!!!!
How to keep them rolling with just will and ingenuity!
This is Pakistan & the mechanic office cum workshop is on the road side under a tree The mechanic deals all these heavy trucks like this the person should have a natural eye & instincts to perform such jobs which this person is performing Impressive
Next time someone ask me for my engine hoist. I'm going to hand them a fence pole and some cable.....
And a couple of Pakistani’s.
This brings the phrase " the right rock for the job ", to a whole new level .
Dangerous techniques but they have to adapt. Great work.
The lack of power-tool workarounds are impressive.
power tools, my GOSH man i didn't even see a socket wrench! A socket or two you can see, but not even a $20 seocket wrench... these guys would be great to have in an American auto shop, they'd be amazed at the tool selection and hopefully they wouldn't flog the snap-on guy
And not a single torque wrench in sight.
@@JohnS-il1dr It's one elbow-click or two elbow-clicks.

Man, it's too bad that this is the way these men had to get things done. They sure worked hard. I respect that a lot. I can't imagine that pressure plate being flat, but they did what they could. The biggest worry is what happens to the people standing around that truck when the flywheel grenades, 'cause it's going to. Just a matter of a pretty short time from the looks of it. Just folks, doing what they can for their supper and families.
That bit from 6 min to 8 min really hit me with ASMR
Amazing handiwork!-John in Texas
What a wonderful talent!!! wow
Nice work! A bit of grease on the drive splines might be idea. Keep up the good work!
love your work here guys, in AU people would absolutely explode over health and safety and how you work but i get it boys and have 1 billion percent respect. i do wonder about that flywheel though those are pretty deep cracks and it will come apart in time. make sure there is protection for the drivers legs if you are going to re-use it please.
...let alone in AU would anyone attempt to do it in exact same situation: "...naah too hard mate..."
I don't mean to take anything away from these cats; I think their skills are amazing. But I refuse to believe that they were able to hand-smooth those surfaces well enough. That is just crazy. You've got to hand it to them for their resourcefulness.
You can bet that the hard spots are still there.... Just higher now.
Speaking as a mechanic what they have done is truly amazing but the flywheel is beyond repair it has radial cracks all the way through and they are very deep, it will work for a couple of thousand miles and then the clutch plate will fail again, but hey ho it's back on the road again....
why dosent milwaukee send some gear to them would be great publicity
These are the kind of guys, that gets the job done !!
Nice job 👍
fantastic old school skills !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is how those Blackhawks, Hummers, and planes left behind last week will be restored
U r brother........
Good job of making use of what they have.
How they can do all this without a Haynes Manual is amazing.
Haynes doesn't write for heavy trucks.
Top work, good photography too.
You put these guys in a modern automotive shop with a lift and good hand tools they would make a great team!!
i would think the british army did similar repair "on the hoof" during the 2nd world war and no doubt other counties armies too. iremember running a car in the 60s on a shoe string and seeing ex army types using "mend and make do" and their are vids on you tube showing east europeans doing the same type of thing it only takes a bad recession and we would do the same. still the vid was very nice to watch.
I appriceates hard working people
When my man gives a thumbs-up you know damn well it's good to go!
That flywheel must have gotten really gotten hot. It apparently did a whole lot of slipping and likely stopped moving completely right where they worked on it. Innovative techniques for resurfacing the pressure plate and flywheel and, without access to a machine shop, I think they did very well.
What great teamwork. These guys must be in the military. And do this on the side.
Very hard working they would love to have some of my tools
Perfect work. Looks like my Peterbilt dealership
How can we have anything less than respect for these guys?
Not a single cordless tool anywhere,good old fashion mechanicing.👍👍
Excellent work
Need to magnaflux that flywheel to see if there's any cracks in it.....
Just push the powder into the crack and hammer it flat!
They should take the pressure plate and flywheel to the guy that repairs the trucks rims so he can turn them on his lathe. There is to many stress cracks in them and this part of the job needs to be done properly. Also, there is a young boy/man that rebuilds the clutches who does excellent work. I can certainly appreciate all the effort though.
These guys have to be admired for their pure skill, basic tools, yet they get the job done to perfection in a pair of sandals, no ‘woke’ attitude here, no safety glasses, Steel capped boots, rubber gloves, face mask, fancy hand cleaner, cordless wrench, torque wrench, just get down and dirty and get it done no matter how long it takes, even in the dark. 👏👏👏
They are resourceful and do get the job done. However, they are far from perfection. This repair will not last long and the flywheel may grenade.
Now imagine somebody gave these guys a brand new truck with a great big air compressor and a great big Snap-On Tool box !
Some rich U.S philanthropist should do that as a gesture of friendship between countries.
EXCELENTE video , ya se donde llevar mi coche a reparación, solo tendría que darle la vuelta al mundo casi para llegar!!!
Shows how resourceful people can be when they lack the correct tools. When US jets shot up Viet Cong trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, drivers would patch bullet holes in the tires by catching frogs and stuffing the their skins in the holes. One frustrated American commander later asked "How can we defeat an enemy that can patch truck tires with frog skins?".
That's a workin' man!
