Mind you, if he was an ex marine he would get the hammer out first, hit it... a lot, then think about how he should have done it and often gets asked how did you break that ball bearing?

Ha! Ingenuity...of course!

Tools: Hack saw, shallow socket, pneumatic chisel, patience, BALLS, and the stubborn desire to get things done regardless of not having the "proper" tools! Laughing

I got it back in using an aluminum bearing race punch and a 7lb. hammer! Razz Shocked Laughing


Ask me how I got the pressed in alternator coupler out of the igniter drive without taking the engine out of the frame!!!! Shocked

Like we used to yell out in the body shop when a customer was being walked through the shop:

. I'm an ARTIST Damn it!!! I can't work in these conditions!!!!
