Today I acquired...........

[northwest]

Well actually, not me, my missus. She got a new cordless trimmer with all the accessories.

Then the three men in her life all got one of these:




No way am I showing mine! The Westie just didn't move, he only moves, like lightning, if I go near his mummy. When she is out, he is my bestest friend, turncoat! Oh, and if you are feeling bored you are welcome to come 'round mine and trim the big fellas maracas. I will watch.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

I will watch.

From a safe distance, I'll bet. It's surprising how far blood spatter can travel.

Is this you ?

Is this you ?

Very good :-)

My mother in law used to have a hairdressers so as luck would have it she is really competent (she used to be press ganged into helping), with the scissors though. She has confessed that she would have made quite a scene with the trimmers!

I feel bad for the people who have had a go themselves

I'm going full "mad scientist".

I asked my mate who is clearing out his workshop, retiring, if he had a puller I could borrow, he said he had just skipped a load, so I went skip diving, pulled out a couple of sets of coffin straps as well, essential travel, I also picked up a large die holder from a forum members front wall, another essential trip,

who would skip those pullers? lockdown must be getting to him!

the puller bottom right is the one I needed, I have a Chinese version but it is rubbish!

installed today behind the press, will take a look at the hydraulic rams when I get a moment, I assume they are grease filled? I found a good one in my tool box bottom drawer, I posted a wanted ad for a puller leg, the main one I needed to use has one broken leg and it broke again after welding as I suspected it would,

I had a date with Wahl the other day, I feel much better now.

You should have asked on here, maybe one of the guys who were happy with a welded conrod could have "had a go"

Nice kit that. You wouldn’t happen to have an internal bearing puller / slide hammer would you?

I might be able to help with the internal bearing puller? Not sure if it can be used with a slide hammer though , brought it new and used it twice

I have a small slide hammer but I don't think it has an internal puller, do you have a picture or link to one as I am finding it hard to visualise what you need,

Would that be blind? I'll show how i make up blind pullers.

Well it’s not a blind hole as such.

Its an aluminium spindle assembly, with a bearing recessed in both ends.

bearing has a 20mm ID.

Can you use a long drift from the opposing end?

 

[Brad93]

Can you use a long drift from the opposing end?

No because there is a 20mm bearing in both ends

 

[slim_boy_fat]

No because there is a 20mm bearing in both ends

Piece of round bar, with a 'notch/hook' machined/ground near one end, and a piece of flat stock welded to the other. Hook it inside the bearing at an angle and beat hell out of the flat stock end, rotating as necessary. It might take a while, but it will work. I can say that with confidence as I've done it in the past.

Once you have the first one out, of course......
