How to Straighten a Bent Hydraulic Cylinder Rod || Rebuilding a Bent Hydraulic Cylinder Rod

Not only did the press straighten the cylinder, it also completely changed the clevis. Why, it looks like a completely different part! What a miracle tool. These guys are magicians.

I'm impressed! I didn't spot any toes missing! The work is exceptional regarding the primitive conditions through!!! Thumbs up!

You do realize that the O.D is hard chrome plated. Any bending creates micro cracks all along the surface the seals ride on. Also they’re pushing down directly on the shaft with the press ram….I’m sure there’s a nice big divot there now. Leaks, leaks and more leaks….this is a dumpster fire!

Каждый раз, когда смотрю подобные ролики, меня поражает мастерство и профессионализм таких ребят. Без должного оборудования они умудряются проводить довольно таки сложные ремонты. Молодцы! Наилучшие пожелания из Беларуси!

Notice how they covered the eye with a red rag when they put it in the press. This was so you didn't notice they swapped the unit with a good one when it mysteriously changed color after becoming straight. Hey, with 3.4 million views and counting, they're getting paid for the content regardless of what they're actually accomplishing in the shop. Where's Funk FPV when we need him?!?

My heart is in my mouth when I see work like this being done in sandals. I was helping a work colleague lift a truck crankshaft from a bench into a cradle so it could be put in the cleaning bath. I was an apprentice and he was the mechanic and did not want to go to the other end of the workshop and get the mobile crane. It slipped from his hands and I let go and jumped back but he was not quick enough and it landed on his foot. The steel cap saved his toes but he still had broken bones that took months to heal with several operations needed. It was over a year before he could walk without pain.

We tried to straighten a hydraulic shaft to test a new press we got. We put enough pressure on it so that it was about straight when it broke. Two pieces flew around the shop like shrapnel. How the shaft got bent without it being bent back is something a metal expert would understand, but we could have been killed. That was the end of that. When you are stressing something with that much pressure you have to have all your ducks in a row. Ours were not even in the same pond.

I like how they use floor dirt to clean and lubricate sensitive machinery.

C'est incroyable de voir ce qu'il sont capables de faire ils sont très courageux avec peu de moyens beaucoup d'intelligence vraiment bravo

These videos always amaze me. I have to say they look like the most comfortable safety shoes I've ever seen. 👍

I think even in the Middle Ages one would have paid more attention to occupational safety. Without joke. That doesn't exist. For example a leather glove and ordinary glasses should also be in india available....!!!

Это волшебные сандали , без них не чего не получится.

First class operation . Not even a slugging wrench that fits . Quality control . Appreciate the flash shield for welder in back ground .

Техника безопасности на высшем уровне…..👍

Примерно так же я свой мотоцикл ремонтировал в детстве)))))

I love the oversized wrench and Allen keys to make it work!

Another good job from We Bodge It And Scarper brothers. Wouldn't like to be near that ram when it bends next time. 😢

Anybody else notice they switch rods in the press? The original bent rod was not the same as the straight one. Notice the different colors of paint on the eye end.

I take it that no one noticed that the rod that was “fixed” wasn’t the same one that went back into the cylinder as the one that came out. The nut they took off was different than the one they put back together. Also a different head gland. Also the rod eye is a different casting between the 2 cylinders. Yes I’ll admit that the work they are doing with primitive equipment is impressive the finished product isn’t actually what they advertise it to be.

I have straightened Two ram shafts, but did not pull them apart, that makes work, and the risk of more damage.. A drilling rig support ram, 40mm ram 1.2mtr shaft was easy and done in about an hour, then back onto the rig mast and working fine... . The second was a 60mm dia 1mtr stroke, was not removed, but was straightened useing One of the other rams... Care is needed to be sure to press on the high spot, otherwise you get a corkscrew in the shaft and you can never get that out...cheers from New Zealand ...
