Looks similar to the input seal on a Jag diff. I drilled a couple of holes in the seal, wound in a woodscrew and used a slide hammer to pull it out...

used this trick recently on an international tractor injector pump shaft seal, saved taking the whole pump apart! a bit fiddly but it did the trick!
the lad thought his tractor was totally ******** when it started spewing diesely oil out the breather, god knows how it didnt run away!!

Done the same, ages ago, on a A series engine for the seal at the fly wheel end.
Self tapper in. Claw hammer and out.

Then placed the new seal in ice salted water and push in.

In the old car repair books, on cars, I have show that method a lot.

In your line of work you have plenty of co2 extinguishers to fire at them. That method of cooling has got me out of a hole more than once.

why ice salted water?

It lowers the temp of the ice further. Never head of it for inserting seals though - I would be worried the cold, stiff, inflexible seal would be damaged being dragged over the shaft. Lubrication and careful application of drifts, presses, tools is how we do it at work.

The biscuit barrel fills up with crumbs.
I save them up.

I also get some cheep chocolate.

So.



Reduce the to crumbs.

Melt some chocolate, in this case, flakes and Cadbury dairy milk.




Had the biscuit crumbs.

Spoon out, allow to call and count not the calories.




This weekend is few days of small jobs, on many projects.


This was cleaned up by hand, with coffee and flap jacks.
The Flap jacks are not all for me, but it did keep my friend quiet for a while.




Yes it does work.



The red is as close as I can get to OE spec. From a modern rattle can.


That one was from a recent bundle of 6 I acquired.

Here are the 5 I had left.

The one with the LED bulb has been sold.
Good money was received.






I only have one left.

They all work, the ones converted to LED's lights can be converted back to blow torches. If the new owners wanted too.

why ice salted water?

It lowers the temp down. Means the outer edge of the seal would be smaller than the hole it fits.

Of course, you use lubrication.
Dry or on rubber seals petroleum grease.

Never damaged one yet.

On some emergency generator sets. the seals on the crank have a hours run life.
Some times it is easy to pop em out and slip new one in with out dismantling.



Now watch the next one I do, it goes wonky big time.

In the process of completing these two. Couple of uprights to fit a shelf to on the vice stand, (¾" rod, threaded ½"), & decided I'd make a new taper pin for the vice out of brass/bronze, (not sure which it is). Still deciding on the head design.

It didn’t seem to matter what way I stacked these crates, whatever I wanted was always at least 2 crates down, so a length of box and a length of angle later and I can get to anything with relative ease.
Only a temporary location until the extension is complete.

Ah, the 'Tesco' stacking storage system.

I have the Royal Mail system at home, very hardwearing. Don't tell @Wozzaaah

Im collecting them on a modular basis via our friendly driver

Im collecting them on a modular basis via our friendly driver

some of ours aren’t so friendly and it always seems to be the not so friendly ones that can count how many have gone in and how many have come back out

 

[James1979]

We have one friendly one who swaps them for Tennants, a few who count them in and count them out, and one who's so thick he cant keep track of how many were on the truck to start with. These two are helping with my modular system - one for beer, and the other without realising it

Those grey boxes are very sturdy, some of the shorter ladies in our office upturn them and use them as steps to reach the top row of the frame.

 

[Tangledfeet]

The largest, flattest and squarest frame I've ever fabricated! 25 x 2.5mm square box, MIG welded together to form the frame that'll get mounted on the back of the old office bureau in the workshop and hold an MDF 'tool wall'.

25x5 316 towel hooks. Bent as accurately as you can on a old miracle bender.

I used to make loads of hooks for an NHS contract I had, put them on a folded angle and put the screws in the top of the door where there is a frame, made a few from flat bar as well, I would have put a radius on all the corners, nice little job though

Or put them on a channel to hook over the door, no screws needed
