Maintenance and repair
Know How
Shrink fit wheel bearing
Wheel bearings instead of ravioli
JEM
No hotplate to heat the wheel bearings to a bite-sized temperature? No hot air gun? How about the gas stove from your camping equipment!
Repair threads with copper wire
JEM
Thread messed up? Sure, it’s always the others’ fault. But how do you repair it when Helicoil and other remedies are out of reach?
Pliers for valve stem seals
TME
Valve stem seals often sit recessed in the head and are rarely easy to grip. A modified combination pliers can help.
Thread the screw
JEM
Thread a tricky screw from behind through the chest into the eye? Works perfectly with half a meter of binding wire.
Grinding drill bits
JEM
In principle, sharpening twist drills is not that difficult – if you know which angles to work on and which cutting edges to leave alone.
Adjusting the wheel bearing
JEM
Installed billions of times – and just as often incorrectly adjusted: Wheel bearings with two tapered roller bearings. Adjustment requires fingertips, brain and a screwdriver.
