Well, doing a thing or two today.



Edit: oh and that broken grinder wheel got me good.

 

Fuck. Hope you had a face shield on.

 

I use those cut off wheels like a strait razor. super calm super relaxed and super light handed.

 

My cousin took a piece to the gut after one broke once. Had to get like 7-8 stitches. Hope you’re good.

 

Helps to watch the direction the wheel is going too. Hope it didn't get you too bad.

 

yup. @CrashN'Burn got a few close calls when we were working on his. when those disks catch, they catch and jerk the grinder pretty hard. Hope youre good and it wasn't too bad.

 

Luckily it got me on a leg and isn't too bad. I was wearing face shield and welding gloves. Thanks fellas!

 

My old man got one on the forearm last week. 8 stitches. He didnt wanna go to the hospital until he started turning yellow. Stubborn ass old man. Lol

 

I got my hangers this week. How long was the install?

 

Dude. He's supposed to be brown! That must not have been good.

 

I'm still working on them. Between 3 kids and taking care of wife's work stuff and rain, I didn't get much done. I was able to take one of the hangers off and take out the rivets and make the holes in the frame bigger. I just need to install the leaf pack back in and I will be done with one side. Having extra set of hands to help with this project would definately make it quicker too.

 

Im surprised they even let you get that far lol. I hope I get my lift by the weekend. Might try to install them if I do. We’ll see.

 

Me too.

Now waiting on Deavers and need to pick up a proper face mask and better gloves apparently.

 

Na man. He worries me

 

don't turn your motor when your sc belt is not properly installed. ask me how i know.

so i got the pulley on and the chewed up belt off. spent about an hour trimming three grooves off a Gates Fleetrunner. now i just need to figure out how to get the belt on. belt was pretty cracked so it was time to r/r.

 

Fuck using that cutoff wheel to get those rivets. Grind them flat enough to get a drill on it. Drill a small hole and then move up a size to whatever you need the bolts to be). They come loose and then just knock em out with a hammer and punch.

Done a few sets and found that process to be the easiest. Should have that other side done in about 30-45 minutes.
Much less risk of getting impaled by flying cutoff disks too

 

Never mind post looks like you got it on all the way and fixed

FYI, there are better install tools from Smoothflow and zzperformance. Not cheap but might help. Maybe someone down south has one?

One other problem you may hit is that the Aluminum pulleys weren’t meant to be reused. Maybe since you didn’t get it all the way in it will be ok?

lastly if you really get stuck you could remove the S/C and send out for a rebuild. Any of the shops that rebuild them also can fix/swap pulleys for you.

Good luck!!!!

 

Are you worried about issues with visual inspection with that red pulley?

I went with stealth 2.85 first and switching to smoothflow and I think they will blend in just fine. But red, idk, might look too much like non-CARB.

I already have to take out the 70mm TB and adapter every two years
