RUNAMUCK

A bit of lube on the axle doesnt hurt too.

I usually sit a bit of pipe over the axle, and beat fuck out of it with a sledgehammer to drive lock rings on. I got caught out recently when using heavy wall pipe. And the ID of the pipe was less than the diameter of the axle. The pipe bottomed, and I couldnt get the bearing home. Figured it out eventually, and used a drift to space the pipe up.enough to drive it all the way home.

You're all a very "special " bunch. ..

A mate who cleaned a tank for me said they used citric acid afterwards to neutralise the caustic.

This x 1000000!

Que this video in my facebook feed X40.

Hats off to you for cracking it. I bet that feels amazing. Tbh I would have ripped that shit off, and thrown on a 390cfm 4bbl Holley by now. Kudos.

Are they cast or forged?

It's illegal, but you could have the taper welded up, and reamed to the smaller size. "THOU SHALT NOT MAKE A WELD UPON ANY FORGING WHICH IS EMPLOYED IN SUSPENDING OR STEERING A MOTOR VEHICLE" However, done tidily, it's impossible to prove it's been done. However depending on the metal used, it might go hard as fuck and need to be annealed before it can be reamed. Since you're not a welder be trade @MaxPower please dont do that. ;-P And if you do please use a gasless MIG or damp welding electrodes. (With 5 pairs of sunglasses)

I really was at a loss cutting log without a smartphone.

I thought it was the ride height? /ling

power explanations were legit AF. I want to ride a moped through the tunnel next time its drained. (Just not 90m down into the the syphon)

The whole experience was pretty amazing

Did the shaking of the bars ruin your beers?

I'm pretty sure the offset from the bearing journal to the wheel flange is longer on the coon.

I presume hes putting a cut on the outside of the wheel flange while holding the axle by the bearing journal. Hes turning both the wheel flange, and the bearing journal down to Valiant size from AU coon size

I'm not actually sure how many passes. I'll have to ask. (Going round there for breakfast this sunday)

Pic for thread. Here's a shot of @furyimp cutter. The tips which came with it were up to fuck all/ too soft. (Chinesium) Replacement ones which were much better were sourced (also from China) at a tiny fraction of what they would have.cost locally.

Need @MichaelJFox to show us how it's done.

I have to attend three meets before I'll remember someone's name. Veteran spambots are a bit different. I've long known your username and real name, but not your face. Had a smile when you popped up in my Facebook feed. Blairdy internet friends.

Nice to finally meet you irl too Tori. I swear on the ferry the motion of the boat while trying to sleep felt like I was riding a scooter on gravel again.

On a sad note though, It appears my most prized possession and I parted company somewhere between the Motu and J-5's. Only noticed last night unloading Ronnie the Dio at Bluebridge. Need more Bort license plates to the gift shop please. Sadface.jpeg. :'-(

Departing the ferry this morning, I was on the upper deck with all the trucks. A driver asked me how far I was going. Told him my car was in Blenheim so not far. Then told where we've been. Another truck driver (portly Maori gentleman) overheard. And proclaimed loudly WHAT! ON THAT THING?!!! Yeah mate.

And I'm home at last! Phwew!
