Yup, I think you'll find it's him on the tools on this particular job (unless he's got a ghost spannerer stand in).

Only because he gets his c*ck out. It was posted earlier but Coke really does work. My uncle was a marine engineer, one day in dry dock the were trying to remove a propeller from it's shaft. They had huge pullers, super heaters etc on the job without success, a Yank passing the dock shouted "I'll send you something that will get that off". Half an hour later he turned up with a couple of crates of Coke. The lads thought it was to drink, he said pour it over the shaft/shaft and leave it for 12 hours. It popped of like a cock in a three cornered hat.:)

Coke is pretty acidic (phosphoric). What will that do to the rest of the piston?

Coke, vinegar, brown sauce. Sulphuric acid will remove the rings from the piston also but it maybe a little difficult reassembling the molecules. :D:D:D
 
Far from not reading this thread, may I refer you to post 95.

Boiling pistons and other recalcitrant items is an old trick of the trade like many of the suggestions kindly put forward by the ever helpful.

Yes it is an old trick of the trade that is how i knew about it. That's because i am an old tradesman and know about these things. I don't have to search for answers on Google as some have to. It was you who made the mistake of wrong attribution remember. ;);)
