Internal bearing puller

Well bloody hell, you live and learn.

I would never have thought of that.

Brilliant, that's resourceful !

How did somebody realise mothers pride could remove bearings?

Worked soft plasticine or soft putty ought to be as good may be even silicone gun sealant at a push .

Hydraulics in bread obviously

Hahah it must be 20 years since I’d done a flywheel spigotbush so I’d forgotten the bread trick. I’ll try that first!!

Except if doing an LS chevy one. Theres a core plug in the crank that you will push out into the sump! I know, but i know a few who didnt.................

What the hell is the thinking behind a core plug in the back of the crank

Grease and toilet paper works

 

[Brad93]

Or bread. The whiter and ****tier the better. The old Tesco value ones were handy for that.

Learn something new everyday and certainly less mess than grease!

How many loafs do I need for my log splitter ram?

No idea. But they are all like it.

Usually to cap off the open end of a main oil supply drilling ...not all cranks & con rods are lubed the same .

Isn't this usually a solid brass plug though, in oil galleries, not a core plug as such.

Yes that's my thinking too, or its a ball bearing pressed in permanently.

I commissioned a robot cell at Ford Dagenham in the 80's that plugged the unwanted oilway drillings in the crankshaft with pop rivets. We had a few robots on the crankshaft line, a gantry robot picked the blanks out of a stillage and loaded the conveyor using an early vision system to orientate them, a couple of robots on the line cleaning drillings using a "bottlebrush" and finally one to rivet the holes and palletise them.

Dear me, that sounds a poor choice, did the pop rivets give any problems?

I hate rivets! Great on the bench but not great for critical applications where you need validation data. (Or not in my experience)

 

[nickk]

I can’t think of any other reason to buy white ,squidgy bread,other than using it as an extractor,does it make me a bread snob?

 

[8ob]

If swmbo made the bread the punch would break

Stick it in gaztube.

First hit

I just use grease and nothing as posh as a brass hammer. Who de feck has a brass hammer?

I assume a company the size of Ford would have done a fair bit of R&D before using the system?.
