New England B.S. Thread

Ya I eventually saw their statement on a thread here. It’s a shame though. I’ve never heard a bad word about that company. I hope they get back on their feet soon

 

Baby has a fever so wife and baby stayed home while I went to my cousin's gender reveal party. Corvette zo6 burnout with some blue smoke

 

Sorry bud. I hate hearing about sick little ones.

 

Alternating ibuprofen and tylenol got us through many baby fevers. Ibuprofen wears off afte 4 hours but can't be given again yet so you can use tylenol. They work differently. Liver vs kidney



Now this bearing assembly is stuck 1/2 off. I think I'm going to have to go to the store in the morning and buy a chisel to wedge in there and pop it off. I've used two screwdrivers and now it starts to spin but doesn't come off any further. This is by no means a piece of cake. I am so beat and long since out of beer.

 

Our pediatrician told us to do the same for fevers. Dose every 3-4 hours, alternating between ibuprofen and acetometiphin. They both help the fever but don't build on one another. They never said the part about liver vs kidney as being the reason so I learned something today

 

FINALLY! I had to use a full size sledgehammer and hit the nut at least 5x and then it finally fell. I just hope I don't put the left wheel bearing assembly on the right side and the right wheel bearing assembly on the left side
At some point I need to go to bed because I'm in the driveway and not a garage

BTW there is SOOO much rust in this thing...

 

Ok shoot me now. Axel nut thread is smushed from the sledge hammering. I need someplace to buy one tomorrow. I think the part is W0133-1812200. I can't find it right now on the autozone website. And of course I was working without mechanics gloves for like two minutes and just sliced my finger...great

 

How bad is it smushed in?

 

Your project here sounds a lot like most I do. Go in for a somewhat simple job, break things, injure myself and be without the vehcile for 2-3 extra days waiting on the part replacements for the ones I broke.

Good luck sir!

 

Show a pic of the damage. Thread chaser may help clean it up.

 

It's the very end of the very last loop of the thread. I'm sure it's 'fixable' but I don't have any kind of tap/die and it's a $3 nut so i was hoping to buy one and just use this one when i need to hammer off the other side.
I couldn't find the specs for the nut anywhere as far as size/threading.
I was really hoping the nut was a softer metal than the axel and the thread would fix by careful tightening and backing off and cleaning.

 

Ah. I ASSumed you meant the thread on the axle.

Yeahm but a new axle nut. Do an area search....

 

I have some of those nuts

 

are you open today

 

No I meant personally had a spare BUT forget it. After I posted it I went and found it and tried to match it up to a factory axel I have and it does not fit. The aftermarket axles are much smaller in diameter. Sorry buddy

 

@TreeFortRichard It looks like advanced auto parts should be able to get one for you!

Edit; here's the correct one

Yeah I found that one. I was looking for something open today for pick up today though. This is going to be a real pain.

Thanks for looking.

 

Had a great Clam bake yesterday. GF and I got the seaweed from the canal on Saturday (only place you can find 4 potatoe sacks full in 20minutes). Yesterday morning built the pit and food was ready around 4. Awesome day for it.

 

Yum

 

Just like the indians on Cape Cod use to do
