Hi,
Yeah... garage would be too small for 2 bikes, never mind 10 at the moment, plus lathe, micro miller, polishing wheel, bench, 3 welders, hydraulic ram press, parts, clothes, garden implements and, not to be forgoten, freezer!!!
Anyway, this afternoon, been trying to find a bolt big enough to do the magneto missing nut... nada, no luck...
...Then, tumbled across an old Buell mirror.. TILT!!! The bottom screw should do it, so recycle it from:
to this in about 1/4 of an hour:
More dismantling... My method to block piston while unscrewing nuts from crankshafts: Big socket on top of piston:
Prevent piston upwards travel with whatever bit screwed on top, as here, 30's Harley tool that normally fixes on crank mouths to immobilize and allow work on con-rods to be done:
Big lever, all done...
But the flywheel cone is well seated, it resisted my biggest hydraulic puller... Did not try too hard, will try again tomorrow and apply heat if needed...
So long, Patrick
