okay this is a very odd angle for my camera so I'm try not to bump it and
want to try to keep this mostly in this area so you can see it what we've got
here is a craftsman 3/8 inch drive made in America but what it doesn't do
it doesn't walk up and what I want to do is I want to take this apart and see if
it's the teeth that are gone bad see this it's not locking you can go both
directions with it or if it's just got a bunch of gunk in
it because it is pretty dirty so there's a split ring here I want to try to get
that split ring out of there very dirty
and I'll tell you it doesn't look worn but what I really need to do is clean it
all up let me take this out this Paul
let me get some needle nose up you're right back Denton all right all right
there's a ball bearing right here oh yeah this is nasty
I think I can fix this okay that ball bearing came right out of here there's a
spring in there you see if I can pick that out yeah there's the spring
Oh almost lost that this is the selector switch so I'm gonna shut you off I'm
gonna get my special cleaning solvent gastly and clean this up real good soak
it cleaned it up put a little Lube on there and see if she better run better
you read back that was pretty dirty and I'll tell you what the dirtiest part was
was right in here this Paul it was so packed full of crud that it couldn't
lock into these teeth here so I'm gonna put a little bit of grease on this this
bearing grease I don't have anything else I'm not gonna go heavy you're gonna
see with it
I think putting too much grease on there just attract more dirt and schmutz all
right a little bit on the face of this on the
bottom
okay now I'm going to put this spring in
all right now here's gonna do I'm gonna put a dollop of grease on that spring
because that ball bearing has to stay there while I slip that Paul in there
maybe I can make it sticky enough where it will alright here's the ball bearing
don't lose it big clumsy hands
now I can't tip it over a little fall now this side faces let's say okay this
is up or is that no it's not I think this side goes up the side where the
indentation goes towards this side this is the bottom this is the bottom of the
ratchet here and this selector switch fits down in that all right yes
so all right here we go yeah see what I'm going to grab that
with a little pliers
nope came out I knew that wasn't gonna be easy
then I do it nope get you out again
all right
payment that's gotta take a I gotta hold my tongue just right
I already knocked it off
I'll tell you what I may have to shut this off till I get it it's gonna take
several tries I know let me try this one more time
doggone it
yeah I won't make it watch this I'll get it it's just gonna take several tries
I'll be right why did you miss some cuss words here's what I wasn't doing and
what I ended up you have to put this in first because it goes in and then
there's a little notch and a groove it fits into on this so what I did was I
took a screwdriver I went in through this side and I held that ball bearing
down in that little detent depression and then I slid this end over the ball
bearing just enough to hold it in and then I turned it over and I put this in
slid it up and push this in over it it's not that complicated it's just that I
didn't know the right way to do it okay now let's see here this goes back oh
yeah I can see that's already gonna okay good back together them it's all good
all right could you believe that I just dropped
this all right we're gonna start all over you can go ahead and laugh I don't
give up though okay screwdriver goes in there to hold it to press that down in
there Paul goes in there
good dolly alright got it in there now this has to go you see the groove in
there has to go in here and it fit up in that groove but this thing has to go out
a little bit for this to happen so I'm gonna push this out still maintaining
control of that ball bearing oh there we go
no maybe not I lost the ball bearing again well I'm
not gonna give up but I'm not gonna make you watch all this I'll get it
dear God I finally got it oh yeah I ran out of cuss words okay now we can
assemble it
I've got my I'm recording huh no f-bombs all right definitely works oh yeah all
right I'm gonna do one other thing put a little bit of oil down here tell you
what it's acting like a brand new one now can I help you yes
I'm on camera I mean I got the camera girl you gotta get my video flags with
music did get out of here with that juking and jiving come in here I'll
dance and stuff the Sun is up we're both in a very good mood yeah that's a that
that way there how do people that live in that weather how do they not get
depressed and shoot himself in the mouth I would kill myself if I had to be that
cold for that length of time okay hey it's working great thanks for
watching sorry had to do with that but you know it uh it took me forever to get
this little tiny ball bearing I bet you I could have gotten you to do that
because your hands are tiny I do not have doll hands do you have a little
baby doll hand you do then I put all the dishes away I'm going to take a nap now
