Applying a a bit of pressure and giving it a hammer tap, titen, tap again, use this all the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a porta-power but with a frame that would fit, probably would have to be made. With a hole cut into the top so the bolt could come out as pumped. Same idea is this, almost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't no electrician, kinda' scared of the blue fire - It only hurts for a minute. Just checked three different circuits, it first says 118 then stops at 119, it is what it is, no blue flame with that familiar zapping sound that is never good. A little shock therapy never hurt anyone, ok maby it has ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as easy as it seems but the hard part is suspending it somehow to maneuver that part into a press. My mechs have "engineered" a tool and it is ever so slowly coming out. The enerpac clamp required (as Carl pointed to) is not in town, about 7 grand and the clamp alone weighs 200 lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Now that's a plane! Look at the size of the props....incredible. Good luck and I'm sure you guys will find a way to fix that. Every part is important on a plane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
