dougbgt6 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 John, I'm more Basil Boothroyd than Major B. And yes, mangled Bond & Dirty Harry quotes. The pictures don't do it justice, there's nothing with it to put it's size in context. It looked quite normal until it arrived Club shop now want £53.40 for it, must be worth that in scrap metal value. I'll charge up the camera and see what I can do.

It's the best I can do at this time of night. First one I've done actually so it took some head scratching. (Trump-Kim summit just starting so I hope that's not how I spent my last hour sorry if that breaks the no politics rule, it's a just gag, i hope) Oily Harry ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 GL5? Well like I said, it's such a mess down there afterwards. And it makes identification impossible, even if they do find your driver's license in all that blood and everything. DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only recently cured pad pull back on my front calipers I don't immediately relish stripping the hub, so will put off for a little longer! I did try jacking the front and forcing the grease through with EP90 this morning, but to no avail. At least the offside has been oiled again! I plan to pick up a new near side trunnion and solder the cap prior to fitting. Thanks, Gully Well I soldered the new trunnion last weekend and as the sun was shining today with nothing on telly except for the inflated pigs bladder chasers, I've stripped the hub, cleaned out the CV grease from the vertical link and rebuilt it filled with EP90. It may be my imagination, but I'm sure the steering is lighter! Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglefire Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Must get one of those - I have a big (As big I would guess) grease gun - which I've had since I had a Beetle (so 35years ago) and I don't think I've refilled it with grease since its first fill! ? But not one for oil - and I need to oil everything up. I should have bought one when I was at the Twiddle day. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebaby Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 When you’re finished using it I’d recommend storing it in a plastic bag (unless you empty it) because it will leak and make a horrible mess (guess how I know) Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I also have two. Picked up from that great secondhand parts site (fleabay). They both leaked. Got more oil/grease on me than in the car.
