Re: Shop Tricks
Ha- yes, very individual point of reference. For me, before my kids (and their kids) were born . Those old jaw-protecters were around for a long time, probably not long after the vise was invented. That’s a long time . . . .

Re: Shop Tricks
Back when the vice was invented!? I'd say Eve was the first vise.

Re: Shop Tricks
A regular two jaw puller should grab the bearing without issue. Timken makes them where the jaws slide on a bar instead of swinging. They are designed for pulling electric motor bearings among others.

Re: Shop Tricks
Next time you drop a part on the floor, get a flashlight and lay it down so the light shines across the floor. Works 99% of the time for me, that's if it hit the floor in the 1st place.

Re: Shop Tricks
My EZGO seemed to wander so I thought I would check the toe in alignment so I started off by measuring a line in the tread from the front of the tire and the back. Now I realized that this is not real precise but it got the job done. I know you can buy a device to get the job done but I'm retired and cheap. So I went to Home Depot and bought a piece of 5/16" all thread (less than $3) and I already had a coupling nut so I cut the all thread to the desired length and used that to measure the front versus the back of the rim. You can buy a coupling nut at most hardware stores. This gives you about 1" of adjustment so well within the 1/8" to 1/4" required. You can use a jam nut up against the coupling nut if you want but I didn't find that necessary.

Re: Shop Tricks
Everyone has a hole that just refuses to be drilled...
Take a cement bit and put a better edge on it. You can drill through a ball bearing with one. Just be careful when the bit comes through the end. It can catch and snap the carbide right off. Work hardening steel is a good place to use these. |

Re: Shop Tricks
Wheel alignment with a tripod leg.
I had a cheap broken tripod I was holding on to trying to figure out something to do with it. I took one of the legs off and extended it between the front tires locked it then measured it, front then back. Figured out what the right measurement should be and set the leg to the right length and adjusted the tie rod ends to fit. - Dave |

Here is another way using a broom or shovel handle. The wood is pretty friendly on the wheel studs too. |
