AW: SER1 Protection of bushes and threads during sandblasting

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/03/29]

Hi Allan,

I think the press I have is powerful enough. the problem is that the two
support bars are too close together, so that the hub does not fit in between
and too strong so that they do not fit in between bearing housing flange and
backplate when this is pushed toward the hub.  So I will need some sort of
easy to make fixture to apply to the bearing housing. The shaft will then
stand and the housing pressed out.

    G'Day Uli,
    Still have not been able to scan the diagram for the axle pressing tool
(scanner is buggered and we cannot afford a new one at the moment). 
The whole process is not as scary or involved as people would have you
believe but you do need a good press to get the job done.
    Regarding the threads in the chassis and sandblasting, don't worry about
protecting them, they will most likely need a tap running through them in
any case. Do that after you have painted. The bushes also should be OK. Do
not push them out if you are worried about damaging them. They are fairly
easily pushed out as each bush only goes a little less than half way through
from each side. They are readily available and if not available, are very
easily made if you have a friend with access to a lathe and a supply source
for bronze.
    Cheers
    Allan
