Sent wifey after some gear marking compound, ...

@ktmoutfront says gnomes use mustard.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Gear marking compound works better. But in Baja California, you use what you have.

Excellent packaging Summit. The box perfectly proportioned to my parts...

If it's working you will be good.
I destroyed the first one, the spindle had a speedy sleeve on that I didn't notice and I was trying to get the seal on it, destroyed it and then I saw it.
Got another seal removed the sleeve and all was good

So how did you remove the sleeve? I have my ideas but I want to know the method you used...

Both spindles have speedi-sleeves and honestly I wouldn't have noticed unless you mentioned it.

So thank you.

Second thought. Just gonna swap out the "new seals" for the old style. I'm over complicating this.

K.I.S.S.

Complicating? Or are you just being nice by complimenting it?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Carry on dude!

I cut a line 3/4 of the way in and hit it with the chisel.
Actually the first one had a lip so I hit it with the chisel and slid it off the other one got cut

The sleeves on my spindles are super thin, not sure that I would be able to create a fault line and not inadvertently get into the original underlying seal surface...

Just get a real sharp small chisel and get it on the edge and drive it off.

 

[Justin V]

Swapped out for the old style seal. Gonna leave the sleeves.

Also have to work tomorrow pushing snow so the axle has to wait.

 

[Bent77]

Yay. Snow...

They did that to me too for a set of hedman collector bolts.. I think there was 6

 

[Justin V]

Snow was a bust, but got paid 406 bucks to sit around and do nothin'.

Came home and got the hubs cleaned out and reinstalled. Cleaned up the carrier and started trying to get a nice pattern.

I got frustrated and called it a night.

Sorry, no pictures...

 

[Justin V]

There is an axle back under this thing. Need to bleed the brakes and put the driveshaft back in. The battery is dead again so it has the charger hooked up.

But it's cold here.

 

[Bent77]

It’s above freezing

 

[Justin V]

No progress this weekend.

 

[beags86]

No progress this weekend.

Maybe make your wife get mad at you?

 

[Justin V]

Let's leave that alone eh?

My wife doesn't leave me alone when she gets mad at me, which is far too often as it is.
