Take a Peek Please?

I'm starting my little power steering add on project. Got the Char-Lynn parts from a salvage yard.

First order of business is to remove this coupler from a piece of shaft that has been torched off. Pin (kinda like a wedge pin) does not go all the way thru.

What's the best way to attack this one? Grab 'er with the vice grips and beat on it?

Thanks for your advice,

Allan

Take that; ya gotta remember that I'm biggern' you are. :>)

Onwards and upwards

Now it's gonna come; it just don't know it yet! :>)

I dunno; that's ma bench. lol

Not much. We run this home-based business and somebody has got to watch things. I'm usually here at the desk at 3am and try to shut 'er down by at least 7 or 8 at night. Last night was heavy; shut the door at 11pm; a new subcontractor came on at 3 this morning and needs coaching. UGH! It's just like milkin' cows without the cows. :>(

Nice part is tho, that my shop is 4 feet away and I can sneek in and outta there once in awhile. :>)

Which plane ya gonna tinker with today?

Allan

I would weld a good piece to it, and try to get it to turn...

Good Luck...

I'm talking about that darned little "half roll pin" stuck thru 'er.

That's my first order of business. :>)

Allan

Thought you would be done by now!! Heat it try to work some WD 40,Liquid Wrench or Kroil or some other stuff in there. Mabe then you can work it out with vise grips.

Good luck and have fun.

Naw, I'm still waitin' on the mounting bracket for the torque motor and a port block for the pump.

I just a playin' so far. Can' wait to get this thing together, gonna snow soon!

Later,

Dat's what I did. Whatever it was, it 'taint there now. Gonna soak the gizmo over night and see if I can budge that shaft next. I'm a thinkin' that the old Snap On power chisel might hit 'er with a big flat-nosed bit and make 'er cry "I give". :>)

We shall see what we shall see,
