the all aussie dribble thread!

What's the secret to swinging red gums please fellas? They are beating me up on current boundary fence gum job. Tried a soft Dutchman on compression side of face to help get the party started plus a sis wheel on the tension side of face hoping to encourage it to hold on. Then wedging the byjeesus out of the compression side of backcut to persuade the ****ers to start moving bc I am too scared to take off more holding wood. One yesterday took about 10mins to commit, pulled some root out but still the fibres seem so brittle they snap before they can swing the tree much. Came too close to snotting the fence yesterday. Could keep a 10t bottle jack handy and forget about swinging red gums but keen to learn better faster ways. Pine it aint.

Plan B.

Reassemble inner bearing and build puller inside and then bridge across if I can find room, tighten fully and hammer.

3 minutes fast Kain.

The outer race of both bearings is one piece.....it has nice rolled centre so no hope with a bearing puller....it is inserted into the housing of the lower control arm...

My decent sized pin punches with a 4lb hammer are not moving the outer race one little bit...

Hmmm....plan B, but I haven't got a plan B.View attachment 481181

Lay some weld on it then throw some water on it, it should crack , then drive it out.

I can't weld for siht so never bought a welder.

I do have a plumbers gas burner thingy though.

Oxy heat on the outside of the housing would be the next best thing, MAP gas burner maybe, but just a nice dollop of dogsh*t electric weld is the best. If you get a bearing inner or outer ring red hot & quench it with water it will crack.

very hard, the short fuse grain on reddys means they go bang before they'll turn, best get rope up high to persuade it over the way you want

oh watch it dont grab your bar in the cut n take your saw

Spent the arvo rebuilding this little Stihl, got it in a box all pulled apart, havnt turned the key yet, still need to replace some small parts and mod the muffler.
Clam shell Stihls are fun to work on, ive done a few now, it gets easier.

aww quit with the porno flange gasket pictures and wrist watchdeep fisting

Plan B no good.....inner diameter of race just a mm or two too small to get the puller lined up proper.

Not sure if I'll be able to get the outer bearing race hot enough whilst it's fixed in the hub but will give it a go and see if I can catch the car on fire at the same time......bucket of water may come in handy for that as well as dousing the bearing.

I'd be calling a mate with a welder.

you can heat the out side to expand the steel and then give it a bash with the punch

Tip cloudy AMONIA over it a lot and hit it with a hammer, the amonia freezers it, and it will shatter

After its been heated, right?

No keep pouring it over it and quickly hit it, ive done this when it got stuck on my cruiser years ago, because the bearing is hard cased it goes brittle, i used a good chisel , keep pouring it over until it smashes

ill put that one in the brain for next time i need it.

 

[chippy]

Soaked bearing in cloudy ammonia 20g/ltr...poured a further 2 ltrs over it.

Smashed it with 2 good quality pin punches (first one broke) and a good chisel...with 4lb hammer

No noticeable temperature decrease at all.

Didn't work and didn't look like it would as the bearing didn't even cool down.

Can't find my propane burner head that goes on my gas bottle

dam that is one prick of a job
