Annnnd I've just been woken up with a coffee and sunshine :)

I struggle with sh1t weather - don't mind cold but hate grey depression. Now my last day off is a sunny one :) far more motivating!
 
Finally. After a war. I even hit myself in the head with a scaff pole!

Got the bit of stud out of the hub. Still one to go. Now the hole I removed the snapped stud from has a bit of a Nick in it. I've just installed a stud and torqued to 60nm and it held solid. What would you do? Replace axle or chance the damaged thread?
 
I was going to say you wouldn't believe the effort but you would haha.
First bolt moved easy. Second bolt was totally seized in fulcrum bracket. I gave up trying to get ball joint nut off and went for a frame bolts instead. Managed to split a gap with a chisel then get a 1mm disc in to chop the bolt. What a pain. Here's the a frame nut lol

Lol @ bettws

I’m ok at mo. Having few days off due to other things falling apart at home...... upstairs bog, computer, lost my glasses for a day .....

Will get back on it next week
 
Haha. My head office is in Newport and half the people I work with are from bettws which is how I know.

What's your opinion on that stud thread? It torqued up fine but mat helicoil just to be safe
 
Thank you- ordered m10 x 1.5 earlier and wanted a pro opinion. Glad you said that as spent all morning cleaning the casing up!
 
Looks like someone will be tempted by a compressor and a shot blaster soon enough lol

Looking good there mate ;)
