Title: Just regular maintainance
Post by: JOOLZ on January 08, 2017, 04:31:25 PM
Well my supercharger project is well on the way to completion, so I thought I would take a break and do some ordanary servicing.  I thought I would replace the old and loose cush drive, while the rear wheel was out I noticed that the bearing was a bit rough so I thought I would knock it out and change them, what a pain-- literally, I think I hit my knuckles more that I hit the bearing :( the upshot is the bearing hasnt moved but neither can my finger this morning. Tomorrow I shall try plan B, fill the brake drum with boiling water and see if that loosens it. Wish me luck :)
