wheel bearings don't last forever!
Hello again!
While reviewing some of my old post today it brought back memories of things I've dealt with over time. So today I've been pulling out and highlighting a few specials and not just read them myself but share some more and link the past.
Hope you enjoy this post!
Here's a link to the original for reference.
Well as the title reads "wheel bearings don't last forever" I bring to you a few of my favorites.
As the story goes, I was working on a customers vehicle I received a call from another customer who was a bit concerned about his sons vehicle an what seemed like a little slack in the steering...
It wasn't just a little!
The next one I'd like to share is about what I did when I didn't have a tool that would get the job done.
So pictured I have how to improve a standard pilot bearing removing tool to pull a stubborn bearing.
That Lil guy would not come out using the specialty tool that was made for it.
That's the one that was made to work , but didn't.
Taking it apart and a pulley puller I made a reliable pilot bearing puller!
Definitely got the job done!
Well I'll save more for later an until next time this is @mobile-joat signing out
Hope you enjoyed going back in the past and a little of the now.

Actually it was quite a bit and had already worn the wheel bearing so bad it was grinding out the inside of the wheel!

Have a fantastic day!
Time, imagination and a FBH ( fairly big hammer) will solve most problems, a gas axe helps as well.
Lol first time I heard a cutting torch referred to as a gas axe... I like it!
We are simple people way down in the deep south.
you may use it as you desire, glad to have broadened the knowledge of a good guy from the North
[you can substitute another word for fairly as well if you like]
Most definitely. Thanks again
You got the job done right? 🐓🐓
No job is complete until it's done right. 😀 An it's most definitely complete!:) Thanks for stopping by.
Necessity is the mother of invention. We don't have access to a lot of specialized tools here so we usually end up making something that will work. Sometimes you just have to be creative...
That's exactly right.
Where are you my friend? I have taken some great pics just for you. Let us know you are still out there even if steemit stinks right now. It gets better every time it takes a dive. Miss you. 🐓🐓
