Re: Is there a tutorial on king pin r&r
Excellent job Pete! I use strips of aluminum oxide cloth backed sanding belts, beginning with 80 or 100 grit and finishing with 120 grit. Because of the slot I put in the dowel (or spoon) I use two strips of sanding belt about an inch wide and folded lengthwise into an 'L' shape. An advantage I have found is that by running the drill in reverse the abrasive strips tend to cam out and speed up the cutting process when needed. But Pete in the true shade tree spirit you used a variation on a theme and improvised with what was on hand and made some improvements such as the flexible coupling. Well done!
