WOW! I will be getting my dad's old compressor as soon as I have room in my basement. A chisel will be one of the tools to go with it. It is an old Sears (Devilbiss) 30 gallon, but it put out great C.F.M. for tools.

Yeah, I was real lucky. It happened about 3.5 miles from the house, I was going about 35 MPH and was able to pull safely into a business driveway right away.

I have a rinky-**** propane torch nozzle that doesn't work that great and keeps blowing out. Not that hot and not effective.

I thought I was going to be in a real pickle getting the back half of the hub off the knuckle. I was amazed using the bolts to drive it out really worked. That hub was really locked in there solid!!

When ordering the hub online (while I was waiting for AAA flatbed), I was on the fence regarding buying new hub bolts. But when I was at the counter picking up the hub the next morning, I told the guy "if I buy them, I might not need them and can bring them back. If I don't buy them, I know I will snap one or something stupid will happen. LOL" That was the best $27 I ever spent!

Since you only need to thread them in part way by hand in order to bang the hub out, I am keeping the beat-up bolts for the next hub replacement.

A calm head and determination saved my butt and I feel more confident the next one will be easier. OK, maybe not easier. But, at least I have learned a few different tricks to bail me out next time.

I am learning a lot because of all you guys on TYF! Thanks!

Dropped her off at the shop.. finally getting the transmission, cam, heads, and a bunch of other goodies installed. Can’t wait..! Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town while the majority is being done, so won’t be able to participate, which I’m super bummed about, but closing on the house tomorrow in Texas, so can’t be here..! View attachment 371697There’s MOST of the boxes… I actually discovered last minute Monday that somehow I failed to order, or managed to lose the cam bolts, balancer bolt and a few other small parts..! Ordered from TSP, and called yesterday to expedite shipping, so those are supposed to be delivered today…
