removing

I figured out a quick, easy way to remove powder coating, kinda accidentally. Most powder coat is polyester and is impervious to gasoline and other solvents, and it is sorta soft and sanding and blasting won't cut it very fast like it does on paint. But it can be dissolved by acetone and and...

Picked up a pretty cool '67 H50 Tecumeh and it had this pretty cool starter that uses the PTO and a sprocket rather than the flywheel. I dont know what i'll do with it but for now I just want it off. And off it came. But this sleeve wont come off until I get this pin out. It goes all...

I'm trying to remove neck bushings from an Bonanza BC frame. I thought I could tap,tap,tap from opposite end with a long screwdriver and get them out. No dice. :hammer: Even tried a few whacks. Tried propane torch heat on the neck, along with whack,whack, whack :hammer:. That was probably...

My engine will just shut off mid ride on my mini bike. Someone told me it was probably the low oil sensor. Can i just disconnect it or do I have to remove it completely?

Hello, I'm taking apart my 70 Roadster for blasting and paint and I am having trouble removing the bolt that hold the swingarm to the frame. The long nut that holds the chain guard is off, but I can't remove the bolt. Is it threaded? Or could it just be bent inside from years if abuse and is...

How do you get that scrub brake off.:out: I guess I could always try to fix it on the bike but removing it would be much easier. Thanks

Have a rupp continental rear swingarm with the spindle frozen inside the swingarm tube. Have been soaking and heating with a propane torch but so far no go. Tried the following which did not work. 1) 20 ton press which almost stalls and I am afraid I may bend the while thing. 2)Screw in a...

Hi Guys, What's the best way to remove old paint and rust from old bilco doors? I have a 120V orbital sander that we tried last year, that didn't work too good. The paint is old and thick... The doors are probably 30 yrs old or so and I want to repaint them this weekend. I'm planning to...

Here is the best picture I could take. Hope it shows what I'm up against. This space it's stuck on axle real good. Soaking and tapping on it every so often. Ken

I can't figure out how rear wheel comes off. It has a nut that is round with not square edges. I can't find a way to grab on to it cause of the deep dish wheel style. Is there a special tool I need? It's inn a mud cat trike. If needed I'll post pictures. Thanks Ken

The big block covers without a bump are getting a little harder to find in good shape sooooo....... I have a nice solid cover with a bump and a not so solid cover without the bump... The donor cover was all rusted out on the bottom more than likely from sitting in the dirt or some old damp...

Picked up a Briggs 3hp at Windber and it has a Max Torque #41 chain clutch rusted on it. I have used tons of penetrating oil but the clutch won't budge. How about heating with a blow torch?--Thanks.

Hello all, First post. Way cool to find a forum like this, thanks in advance for any help.

I need to rebuilt the engine for my Lil Indian Hellcat but can't get the torque converter off to get to the inners of the motor. Does any one have any suggestions, I was thinking a little heat but I don't want to ruin anything.

I can't for the life of me get this friggin' torque converter bolt off: I've got the engine off and, with a ratchet holding the flywheel bolt in place, try to turn the torque converter bolt.... but it absolutely will not budge, despite repeated WD-40 treatments. I've even tried hammering...
