Guy Lowe Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 The bearing needs to be pressed on, there will now be a slight delay ('till Sunday) but please watch this space With a bit of luck the new engine will be here before then 😬 Guy . .

Delbert Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 What is it like to have such intrest in a simple Gearbox rebuild????? Obviously you will be putting it on a RR after the conversion so we can "discuss" that next 😬 When I get the mean reds the only thing to do is jump in the 7 ( with applebogies to Audrey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Only if it's been properly calibrated! Trouble is I'm not sure there is a RR available that can handle the power and in any event it will most likely be under-reading by ooh let me see.........15%..........or more even ❗ 😬 Surprisingly, it took 8 tonnes of pressure to get the old bearing off so it'll be interesting to see what it takes to put the new one on.

Trevor Newman Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 So why didnt you press it on tonight 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Because it is a very tight fit on the shaft and slipping a tube over the shaft onto the bearing, then wacking with a reasonable size knocking stick did no more than get it on a few millimetres unfortunately. Given the amount of force I had to apply to get the old one off, I decided it was prudent to gently press the new one on with the hydraulic press in my factory rather than keep trying to knock 7 shades of s**t out of it tonight. 'tis only a minor delay and since Guy doesn't have an engine to bolt it to at the moment, we figured another couple of days wouldn't present a problem and besides, Guy was desperate to get back to entertaining the parents ❗ Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.cavanagh Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Guys, Trevor has a 10 ton press in his 'workshop'... I'm sure he is happy to let you use it... 😬 😬 Though he did mention that he wants some help tarting up a trailer??? A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An Optimist hopes they are!

I.Mupferit Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Pah, only a 10 ton press 🤔 Lightweight..............mine's a 25 ton ❗ Del, I hope you are finding this whole gearbox thing informative and are managing to clutch hold of some useful pointers in case you ever need to field some questions on the subject from Delberta and her friends. Actually, I've got a cousin named Derek (known in the family as Dec). In case you're wondering, his surname wasn't King though! Guy, would Sunday afternoon work for you or is the morning better? I will probably be deaf as well as blind on Sunday, having been to see the Quo on Saturday evening!

I.Mupferit Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The new bearing is now sitting squarely and quite happily in it's home for the forseeable future. Guy, would you mind bringing the (external) circlip that sits in front of the bearing along with you tonight please, I just want to ensure the bearing is far enough on the shaft rather than risk another aborted assembly. Cheers. Only took just over 2 tonnes pressure to press it in place btw.

I.Mupferit Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Should be in one of the steel dishes to the right at the back of the bench, possibly under or near the flanged spigot on which the CRB fits.

I.Mupferit Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Trevor if there's one thing I've learnt in life, you can never have too much! You'll find that out come the time you need 10.5 tonnes. But hey you're young so there's still time for you to find out!
