Thread: center axel

  1. #11
    Also, standard length bits are a PIA to get in beside sprocket set screws. I was in heavy aircraft sheet metal for a couple years and scrounged all the foot long drill bits I could get my hands on. You can find them in the right hardware stores. They are a real lifesaver in tight areas.

    LMAO, I am an aircraft mechanic and I was using the foot long #30 and #40 bits we have at work, I had to use a dremel tool with double cut carbide bits to get the center ones out.

    Last axel was removed today and now to remove the frame and fire up the pressure washer. Hard part is done. I figure I have close to 8 hrs removing all the axels

    Kool! Then you know the drill (HA!) play on words. We used to make some crazy homemade tools for special purpose aircraft fixes at Continental. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Press on my friend.

    Yes I know what you mean I have a draw full of "special tools" I am an engine mechanic by trade, Garrett 331 engines. I have been overhauling and testing them for 28 years now.
