front and rear wheel seals.

Get a small punch and use one of the small holes that a does not have a small screw in it and tap it out.

 

success!

 

Pics or ban!

 

i listened to you guys and walked out and turned it by hand .
now i need to learn how to clean up that smeared metal so i can get that small screw out.

 

ok ok!
hold yer horses!

 

someone used a screwdriver on the big nut.
thats why my socket didnt work.

 

i got so used to having to use brute force to do things that merely using my fingers disoriented me.....

 

i never doubted you.
me is another story.





while i was at it i pulled my tank and solved the disappearing fuel mystery.
holes in the tank.
a long time ago someone patched it and they gave out.

im gonna weld some patches on it right now!*













* no i am not.
even i aint that stupid.

 

this willy's never ceases to amaze me.
i never thought i would need
small grinder
file
hammer
punch
chisel
to repack bearings.
p.s.
i still havent gotten the right one off.

 

persistence persistence persistence I learned along with ya. Congrats on the one side.. Hopefully the other will come off in due time.. at least you know what you're lookin at for sure now..

 

cutting torch maybe?
3 hours and nothing.
i am out of ideas.

 

at this point i am trying to either break or cut it off.
drill holes in it and bash it with a 3lb. hammer while holding a chisel in some channel locks?
i have to go buy more metal drill bits.

 

success! part two.
yep drilled grind-ed and chiseled it off.
note where the hidden screw was.
i turned it over exactly.

 

only a hair over three hours.
i'm gettin faster!

 

from the heat and pressure that ring was almost welded onto the threads.
the threads got a little messed up at the very end of the axle.

should get em Tuesday or Wednesday.
HOORAY!
another member saves the day AGAIN!
