Re: Is there a better swage tool?
Thanks Don! I ordered another tool and took it to the same shop. If they can’t do it still, I’ll message you. Appreciate the offer!

Re: Removing Bondo.
I've used a silicon carbide disc on my grinder. I LOVE these things. Like this one:

Is there a better swage tool?
I took my left reaf hub and drum to a shop to have them swage in some new wheel studs. They got one stud done and then the tool cracked in two places during the second one. I got the $8 "stud...

Re: Wobbly rear axle
I packed that rear bearing full of grease today and bolted it on. Put 100lb on the nut. No wobble at all! Guess it just needed tightened. I still need to get the lugs sorted but I’m glad the rest...

Sounds like the front ones are tightened like modern day cars. I can handle that.

Re: Wobbly rear axle
I think you’re on to something. The drum and hub came off very easily indeed. Had to put a puller on but it came off with just one turn by hand. Didn’t even put a wrench on it. Im going to put it...

Re: Wobbly rear axle
I’m in Savannah. I’m going to put the hub and drum back on and see if it wobbles still. Sounds like that will tell me about he bearing.
Thanks so much to everyone for the help! Truly...

Re: Wobbly rear axle
I think there is a club in the Savannah area. I also don’t have a press big enough to swage the studs.

Wobbly rear axle
Alright gang,
I was replacing my tires and when I had the left rear wheel off, I discovered the axle wobbles up/down left/right. It does not move in/out. Is there a bearing at the end of the axle...

Re: Operating Temp for an 'A'
I run a two blade fan and my temp never gets above 180, in Georgia sun. Before I replaced the water pump, it would overheat. I always shut it down and let it cool if it exceeded 225, but I don't...

Re: Gas valve pencil filter loose
Thanks for the ideas. I put a coat of solder on it. I had to file it a bit since it wasn't perfectly round. I'm no expert solderer (if that's a word). It fits nice a snug now.

Gas valve pencil filter loose
I got a new pencil filter screen from Mike's, the kind that sticks into the shutoff valve at the tank. I have an original valve (pretty certain) and it doesn't seat tight. I've read older posts where...
