MARYLAND TACOMAS

I'm in Hampstead and have the needle bearing tool if you'd like to use it.

Mike

 

That would be great, I appreciate it! Ever used it? Lol. I mean I know how to… just want a seasoned veteran there so I don’t foul it up.

 

Nothing a new rim, tire and few hundred dollars won’t fix.

 

If nothing else, come and grab my motorcycle jack which is perfect for lifting sliders too

 

PM me a week or so before you need it and we'll figure out where to meet up. It's not bad to do, just watch the video EGCS has posted https://youtu.be/WnA_R3gFf2s be sure to use the plastic bag to prevent things you don't want ending up in the diff out of it, and remove the plastic bag from the housing when done. Not much extra time on my end but if you get stuck let me know.

 

Smart ass. He just might want it to be extra challenging to test his skills ya know

 

Everything everyone else said X2, and if I can add, make sure you get an axle bearing seal or two. They bend easy. You can drive the bearing in with the handle of a floor jack if you don't have a bearing and race kit. Put the ECGS bushing in the freezer the night before and leave it there until you're ready for it, the extreme cold helps get it in. A pair of sheet metal plyers help bend the fender well in the engine bay to make getting the UCA bolts out, as does moving everything bolted down that's in the way. An 8lb slide hammer works better than a 4lb version to get the axle out.

That's all I got that ain't been said.

 

Doing work myself is challenging enough lol.

 

Not that’s not a bad idea. I was just gonna use a floor and bottle jack with 2x4s…

 

Have you tried it yet? I want to but I'm not really a beer drinker. I have enjoyed Yuengling before though. I just like trying different things. I tried chocolate wine. Meh. I can even eat chocolate and drink various types of alcohol. I saw the Yuengling Hershey's in the liquor store the other day but chickened out.

 

I got it last year and it’s not bad, you just get hints of chocolate in it. I’m not a big beer drinker either. When I do I usually drink Yuengling or Blue moon when I decide too. I heard that Samuel Smiths organic chocolate beer is much better but it’s not sold till closer to Thanksgiving. I also saw a few beers with vanilla that I wanted to try…

 

I feel ya!

Well, those should be ok too. If your buddy shows up you won't need anything though.

 

Hmmmmm, might have to pass based on your review.

I have enjoyed Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale. A lot of people don't like it. Another one is Sam Adams Cold Snap. It's a Belgian white ale. I prefer Belgian beers over everything else though.

My favorite beer is one I had a long time ago at the October Festival they use to have at Pimlico. The Brewers Art had one called Cerberus Triple. It was almost creamy smooth, not bitter at all, and not sweet either, even considering the fact it was 10%. I would buy that shit by the truckload if I could. Chimay is great, and so is La Chouffe.

 

Morning MD

 

Morning Maryland

 

Finally got the wheels of the Vstar so my cousin in Lancaster can mount the new tires. Front one had a small nail sticking out that I never noticed.

Civic battery didn't get it going this morning so had to take the truck to work and will have to replace the civic battery after work. First problem since fixing the misfiring cylinder with just alligator clips and a new coil.

Maybe I'll get around to building my rm125 now that I'm gonna be in the garage more. And I still need to POR15 my frame before salt comes which will be soon I guess.

 

POR15 makes a rust prevention coating as well as a topcoat paint.

If my undercoat is pretty good except for a few small spots where my wheels rub, which product should I get? I don't really wanna wore wheel the entire frame to get the undercoat off and just start over.

 

Hey everyone, just relocated to somd, St. Mary's County. Looks like there's a lot of wheeling in these parts.

 

I don’t mind lending a hand but I’m an amateur lol. I know how everything works besides the needle bearing.

 

What is this amateur hour?

Giving out free lessons on this economy?
