echris 1,425 #28 Posted June 14, 2020 So many great tips here. The first time I remove the mule drive from my 310-8, it was jammed up pretty good. Previous owner had the belt on the outer pulley on the engine, so the mule was almost all the way out and jammed. I DID NOT want to break the mule knob, so I grabbed a heavy rag and my small oil filter strap wrench and she came loose, no marks, no cracks. Nice one @pullstart I'll often bend a piece of cardboard to funnel oil into the pan. My daily driver is a 2007 Accord. There's no point. Just let it run everywhere, clean it up later. They designed it that way. Hey, the car was free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,459 #29 Posted June 17, 2020 Made these bushing drivers for the 5003/5010 transmission to press in the differential bushing and axle bushings. Also made for 1" and 1 1/8" axle bearing and seal drivers, puts the bearing to correct depth with the step. Then installs the seal little recessed from the axle casr. 8 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one maybe just a little bit loose fitting into that definition but it's there. Shop rags. Duct tape. And what you get is a forearm protector for carrying firewood.

Pullstart 62,933 #46 Posted November 25, 2020 This, I did not make. I did however, modify it for my needs. It is not quite OSHA any longer. It does work great for it’s purpose. It is a flush cut saw, I think. I modified it to cut on a negative angle, like 5 degrees maybe? Without the guard or fence, I can flush cut a floor out if it’s rotten, right along the edge of the room. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's technically true and something she's done for me. But that's her own forearm. So it's more of a BBT-daid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
