Have you heard about stuffing bread into a bearing that’s fitted blind into a crank case , and then hammering in a cut down bolt to push the bearing out !
I can confirm this worked for me today using brown bread !
You can see the bearing half out , just had to pull the bolt and stuff more bread in to push it out the last bit .
I’ve told my mrs about this achievement and she doesn’t understand the significance of it . 😀
No, I've used grease instead.

Bread is for stuffing in pipes to mop up the water prior to soldering.

I tried grease first , it just pushed through the needle rollers .
Seeded brown bread for the win , first time I’ve said that about brown bread.

Wet paper towel used in the same way works, in fact it works better than the sodding set of blind bearing pullers that I purchased.

The 93 blower motor was squeaking on Sunday and had completely siezed up by Monday.

I picked up a good as new blower from a guy who lives a few miles from me and breaks the odd Saab on Tuesday night and had it all done during my lunch break and for an hour before dinner yesterday. Not too bad a job to do.

What the fuck you talkin' 'bout Willis?
:D - as I'm ex Sunderland born and raised before I wised up and GTFO I will not accept ANY criticism along the lines of misuse of the English language from fellow NE residents. 😉

On a side note - are there any existing off road areas for 4x4 or motocross available in the area?
Looks like 4x4 Tom foolery is the boys new addiction - thought I'd throw a motorbike in the back if possible.

Replaced the melted wire this morning. Looking at the corrosion on the exposed copper it looks like it happened a long time ago. I hope so anyway.

Made a bonnet stay for the Note from an old cooker shelve. Couldn't post pics here as have the yellow triangle of death, you'll have to admire it on the beige.
