I made a puller from a piece of tube with a 56mm inside diameter and 3.5mm wall thickness, and an old motorcycle sprocket and washer as the reaction plate. I used two lengths of tube as I cut the first one too short to take the joint all the way out. I just wound the nut on the balljoint spindle...
Hi All
Update on my radiator. I contacted the supplier - their recommendation: panel beat the base unit to clear the radiator! Like knocking a hole in the wall of your house so you can carry your baguette in sideways.
Thanks everyone for the replies. SydneyRoverP6B, your measurements confirmed my radiator seems overly wide. I've attached some pics of the rad on its own, looks well made on the face of it, but if I "squared up" the bracket a bit it would be even further out of line.
Hi All, I'm hoping someone can solve a problem I'm having with fitting my new radiator.....
I actually sent my rad off for exchange for a reconditioned item in July 2017, but have only recently reached the point where I'm ready to fit it, and it seems too wide. I measured it at 660mm across on...
Thanks, it is encouraging to hear it can be done without tape or film, I had concerns about what might be left behind. Hadn't thought of de-burring the splined area either.
The sector shaft is marked where the seals ran, but I'm hoping the ring of pits lay between the pressure seal and the outer...
Hi All, I'm fitting new sector arm seals to the power steering box, on my 1972 3500 auto. I've read in the manual about using a seal saver or even masking tape over the drop arm splines to protect the seals as the sector shaft is refitted, but my attempts so far have been unsuccessful. Having no...
What doesn't show in my pic is that the threaded part is bent backwards at the point where it joins the plain portion, I would worry that it is stressed there and might fail in service. It's probably not that bad really and I have some thread cutting dies so that might be worth a try.
Hi, I've tried to repair my post with the attached image, no idea why that disappeared!
The pin is 0.312" diameter and 0.9" long over the non-threaded part, 2.55" long overall. I thought it might be a standard part but even Machinery's Handbook is vague on these!
yup.....none of them the right size! mostly metric, some for vintage British motorcycles. eBay was the first place I looked. I was hoping to find a supplier of old machine parts, vintage engineering kind of thing. I will keep trawling eBay though.
