What diameter is that mangled hex?

It's one thing heating it, it's another gripping the bastard tight enough. I'll demonstrate what I mean in a couple of days when I have my shit together.

Any why are the unions Imperial? Even the Allegro was metric.

Tomorrow I'm going to head to B&Q after work, pick up a cheap blow torch and see if copious amounts of heat will allow me to loosen the remains of the bleed nipple. Don't bother with a cheap butane torch. It'll just be disappointing. Get a propane/map torch. You can cook the bastard cherry red ...

It crazy it takes so long to get something over to Ireland from the UK when I can send car parts from Glasgow to Maine in 27 hours.

I went to Newark years ago. It was chocka with quality used spares for motorcycles, which was nice, because I like anything with wheels.

Newark is Notts innit?

I don't know, I suppose not necessarily, it would depend one what happens with it down the line???

No, it's by all accounts a time consuming cock of a job to do correctly.

Had to return some axle stand pins to Captain_70s today as they were left in the boot of the Pug, so I wafted on over to the Dolly.

I've got an Clarke engine crane, but I haven't used it to lift and engine yet. Plenty of other stupidly heavy things out of my trailer, but not an engine...

It's possible (not easy doing searches on mobile away mind you) to get the individual clutch friction and steels for the 4 clutch packs for this gearbox. The only thing is the parts costs soon add up with four or so friction plates per clutch times 4 clutch pack at a fiver a pop. That'll be a ton go...
