la bala Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Been working with the boy today on his Landy 90. After a good tip from ditchman how to get the crankshaft damper nut off, next came the damper itself. Now I am no time served engineer or fabricator, but isnt life so much easier when, if you need something you have the bits and bobs in your workshop to codge something together. Some poor unfortunates would have to order it up and maybe wait a week for it to be delivered. That damper would have been a right pain to get off without this piece of plate and some threaded bar. Or should I say this specialist LR puller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Is there a nut inside the Gedore socket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I assumed there was a nut inside the Gedore socket or the plate was threaded. I just couldn't work out why the nut / spacer was needed. That said - a very decent bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I've got a toolbox full of these I've made over the years. It's amazing that they never fit another application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
