I didnt watch it just skipped through it & seen volvo.....move on quickly lol they make great trucks but poor boat stuff costs a fortune too. Did he say it was difficult. Think its one of the easy ones tbh.

Its horrible having a greasy back axle
I hope you read the lead up to it and enjoyed the lovely girls modelling the female versions. I never thought of this until @kermit_rr mentioned it, so I am blaming him and will stick to my story!!!Oh no I do wonder about you sometimes
Not surprising working like that in what must have been like a Turkish bath.
And the bust plugs must just have put the cherry on the icing on the cake!!
Didnt really bother about them as they came out (thankfully) I did think at one point id be in tomorrow ripping the engine out.
Cause yer rear seal has given up..
Off for a shower I'll be back to look for this fred haha

I'm sure it is
Just watched this all through. He used the terms "bellows" and "boot" and "sheath" but never did he say "Gaiter".On on the Gin....
No fair mon frere!!
So I'm guessing it was the Bellows type thing or maybe the boot.
And although he says he did it we never actually saw him shoving or pulling the cable through.
Just love Utoobs like that!!
And of course everything is clean and all the nuts undo easy!

Don't bother, you'll only want another one once you've seen it!!!
Yup it looks the same one as mine but ive got more chest hair & a shaved heed
Well I love all things mechanical, both my grandpas and my uncle having been ships engineers although one grandpa specialised in the sprung bearing(s) that the propshaft on a ship has to turn in as it exits the hull. So more landbased.
But no two were alike, so one minute he was down in the bilges getting filthy helping the guys take em off, then measuring up for a new one, then he was back in his suit negotiating the purchase of one with the owner or captain, then back in the bilges supervising the fitting of the new one. He did this for most of his working life, although weirdly he started by training as a butcher! He did it all through the war too so that wasn't at all easy, tons of pressure and spare parts etc not easy to get hold of.
So a control cable going through a transom and a propshaft going through the stern of a much bigger ship, they are still things that need to do a job while keeping the water out. Hence my interest!
Have to confess I just burst out laughing out loud.Yup it looks the same one as mine but ive got more chest hair & a shaved heed
I thought you were in the shower?
That was quick!!

Aye ok a brand new outfit in a nice clean workshop
not in a microwave with the thing covered in barnacles & musselsI had to remove the drive leg & the bellows as they were covered in B & M s as one was busted. I should do a nootube
channel showing what its really like fixing old boats when the cable is so tight it snaps the guide line, rusty bolts all different
sizes rounded & botched repairs from previous attempts to save money then as a last resort send it to me to bust my nut
to put it right. Btw its the same set up but it doesnt show you inside the engine bay & thats a single not a twin screw with
all the guff in the way that you need to avoid breaking when your squeezed in like a size 10 boot into a size 5
Have to confess I just burst out laughing out loud.
