NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Got any good recommendations for a mechanic set for extractors? Asking for my own sanity

 

this is the best design I’ve found, and relatively inexpensive compared to some of the others i have. The only thing i don’t like about it is that it doesn’t come with LH bits. There are probably similar versions available at a cheaper price

He's got the shit to get it out faster than you can say bobsuruncle..... By the time we're done talking about it, he'd have it out probably 5x already. And halfway through his 2nd beer.

 

It's a small accomplishment but I got it.

 

We knew you could do it

 

Water bottle holder screw?

 

Same size I think. It's the switch housing screws for the throttle and idle cables.

You know....5 minute job it'll be easy what can go wrong

 

That's just standard cannuk unemployment. Well I mean factoring in his regular wages and everything but just normal rates nothing special

Will second that kit. Skip the cheap one.... especially the spiral fluted ones you can get for like 30 bucks. Those things end up being more time than just drilling the whole thing out

 

No he’s still working, said it was a stimulus package.

 

Hmmm thought their stimulus was only applicable for unemployed or certain other situations.

But it's Canada I don't follow them closely

 

Do it.

 

Alright guys I’m headed back home this morning. It’s been fun! Beautiful state! (Except for the guys ass that mooned me on 90)

 

Where’s home?

 

Arkansas or as some people say “Are-Kansas”

 

Took out the driver front spindle and started to press the hub out. It popped out and when I go to take the spindle, I found that the bearing melted to the spindle breaking the bottom part of the spindle that holds the bearing snap ring. Not to mention that that other broken half is stuck on the hub. What a morning. Now I have to wait till tomorrow because my truck is down and my wife iz working a 12. By the time she comes home everything will be closed




This is the hub with the half broken bearing stuck on the shaft.


This is how it supposed to look

 

Good times.

 

Inner bearing races staying on spindles/shafts is pretty common. If you have one a MAP gas/oxy torch and heating it up will remove it quickly (propane torches work just take longer in my experience). Just heat up the race and spin the spindle so it heats the race 360 and once it gets hot enough itll just drop off. If you have the end of the spindle flat you might need to finish knocking it off with a punch. Beats the other option of cutting it off IMO. An induction heater with a coil around the race is even better but not many people have an induction heater

Where are you located? Where would you order the part from? I'm sure we could figure out a local TWEX run to help out....
