  1. in theory, it could be one of those big , long T series (TE71/AE86 etc) bearings which are a complete darling to get out when they would rather stay where they are. anchor the car down real good and slam the fucker out if it is housing. have almost pulled my Levin of it's perch getting the blighters out.
  2. undo the last bolt !!!! get some ti-tensile threaded rod and make 2 spreaders to push the axle flange, once under tension, try cracking with a hammer. don't put huge load on it, as you could distort the axle flange
  3. four words, an apology "i am very sorry" to all of you who wanted a spirited Sunday drive between the Valley Inn and Governers Bay pub, i am very sorry for the opportunity lost, due to the rolling roadblock ahead, i am also very sorry for the fact i didn't use my front bumper and push that fucken Hiace off the road, as a means to travel at velocities of more than 15km/h. so apart from that, and the rain, i do hope it didn't puit a dampener on the day love and peace, Joe
  4. you in Timaru , right ? who machined it, who re-installed valves/ cams, who timed the engine an answer to each of those, honestly, may get me generous enough to come and have a look. if any of those 4 items are a cock-up, then a compression test may read zero PSI, or fuck all PSI
  5. is this a happening thing ? have a few jobs to do in CHURCHUR ......... and i like beer
  6. lack of freeplay at the pedal ?
  7. what are the odds you forgot to re-attach the small earth wire from firewall to head (or maybe from the turret on those )
  8. will need an additive so one can see the flames. for both cool factor and safety factor.
  9. sweet as, would have to kick ya's out early as we away from mid-morning Friday. see how you go.
  10. is anyone on here a solid plasterer, or can recommend one ? not necessarily looking for a perker to be done, just want the fucken job that was abandoned finished so i can get extension signed off. some sand/cement work then skim of acrylic required. have been waiting for an age for local companies to inspect/appraise, so may have to cast my net out further. about a weeks work at this stage, but there will be another 2-3 weeks worth at a later date
  11. i guess the next version of mind fuck would be standard steering and reversed drive direction. should would be different having to backpedal to go forwards..... then have a bike with both .
  12. makes the same sense as 2 grinders, one for cutting, t'other for grinding. 'cos i get really fucked off swapping discs all day.............. when i play in my toybox !!
  13. just wee trip around the block, aye. your highly recommended Landcruiser was well up the task, the driver, barely.
  14. looking good there, lad !!. as mentioned at some point in the yarns. we would be willing hosts for a weekend of Southern debauchery old (or notso ) school styles at the southern palace . gotta get a heap of work done tidying shit up (havn't spent fuck all time there in last 12 months) and cut a time trial track for some silliness. unless i supply Speights and scotch and make a working bee of it , BYO chainsaw/ brush cutter.??
  15. twas a big day. done and dusted now though. dropped the piggy-back off with help of a cobbers 3-ton digger.. reckons it will be easy enough to sort.
  16. you forgot about the Thundertards on their Harleys......pretending they accelerated and handle like a fine Euro or Jappa superbike
  17. if i don't stay with the main bunch, i'll probably head that way to pick-up some time....... all depends on whether i have a fuck-up getting to and from Lake Hayes
  18. fuck, that reminds me....... better pack the Witworth crescent !!!
  19. any Central lads keen to get on it Sat nite ?? havn't decided whether to stay over nite , or leave stupidly early on Sunday
