Great White Taco build

I want to pull the cap to put anti seize on/get the swingout sandblasted so I can spray paint it.

I was thinking about a rubber strap wrench, or a big vice grip and a couple swings with a sledge.

 

Get a big nut TIG welded to the top. Go at it with a breaker bar.

 

Yes

 

Hmm ok

 

Last resort lol

 

What about a chain wrench or this

idk if youll get that pulled off. i guarantee its corroded as fuck because of the two metals. id say cut it..

 

Serious question. What is he supposed to cut? If he cuts the top off, he’s left with corroded threads stuck inside with no where to apply leverage.

 

I think there was a rubber gasket on the cap, but im not 100%

 

Yeah I remember reading back in the day that using two different types of metals was a no no that it would promote faster corrosion

 

My Pelfrey spindle cap is just a press in with a set screw

Just saying

This. I’m surprised that it screws in TBH

 

I’d cut a small line, and use an air chisel to try and knock it free. The cut would just be something for it to grab onto.

 

I was thinking hammer and chisel, but air chisel is better.

 

@fatfurious2 are you working today? You could come by and we could try and air chisel it free

 

@PyritePirateBill tried this

 

yes i am leaving right now for work

 

He tried the air chisel? Well, you’re fucked

 

Just a couple times. Maybe we can do heat and air chisel again

 

It’s sounding like this is gonna take a whole lot of work and be a major pain in the ass. That sucks.
