So what do you do to keep out of trouble?
I work on my deuce and M1028 Chevy and my assorted generators. I also putt around the house and yard (4 acres) . I also love to read and collect books. I have quite an collection now. At last count I had over 10,000 books. That was a few years ago...
At work they have 3 axle in ground hoists that left up to 10ft high if you need them too. Each bay has one and the average base (7 total) has 20 bays. Makes removing anything pretty easy. The hardest part is setting the blocks under the bus. You must get down and push the arms to contact the...
Getting back to installing transmissions. I always use alignment dowels I have made up. I have an assortment of all sizes and lengths. Just take a bolt, cut off the head and using a hack-saw cut a slot for a screwdriver to be able to remove the dowel later. This makes stabbing a transmission so...
Sadly they forced me to retire just this year. I worked with the painkillers for over 10 years no problem. In fact my doctor had to write a letter for me stating that without the painkillers I could not function and that the pain meds allowed me to function normally.

Of course I always used...
Most of my tools are Snap-On. I do have some Mac and OTC and other name brands especially my "Specialty" tools, but my main tools have always been Snap-On. I couldn't afford having my tools let me down or hurting me like a bad puller can do. I tried to get in there with a hammer but there is no...
Well I had to heat it up. Here are the tools needed to remove it after heating it. The bolt I used I drilled a small hole to set the puller into so I didn't damage the crank end. I used the pry bar to keep the puller from turning the crank. When it finally came off I thought I had broken my...
I don't know who your friends are or what there expertise is but the average depth of hardening on roller bearings is 2.5 micro meters to .75mm on the largest bearings. Most bearings today are alloy combinations like Chromium-Nickel (stainless-steel) and Manganese-Chromium to name a few. These...
