I brought my P bracket into work today so that i can used the workshop press to remove the cutlass bearing.
Have'nt got that far yet as one of the grub screws is stuck fast, the fact that someone has in the past been a bit over zealous with a hammer and centre punch is not helping. After a soak in a releasing oil one has started to move the other is at risk of ringing the key or its self. My enthusiastic workshop staff have declared that i am to leave it to soak for a bit and then try the Gas Axe in the sound theory that bronze heats up at a greater rate then the stainless grub screw.
Failing that we will use a bench drill to drill out the grubs which will need to be replaced in a larger size once the holes are retapped.
Why is it that even the most simple of jobs in theory are a pain in the **** in practice. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
