Thx
Found this also

Skip to 5:50. The hammer and wood is the easiest lol

? Should i use a socket that is big enough to cover the outside diameter and bang it in that way? I can't imagine banging the inner area of the seal is good for it

That would do yes... don't worry they are much easier to put in that bearings, I have pushed them in with my fingers.

OK thx, mine are a bit tight. i just looked and the second seal has a tear in it which is annoying. so since they are so cheap (like $3 a piece, SKF obviously) ill just get both

hopefully this week ill get even more progress done!, depends if the machine shop will be done this thursday.

got the flywheel keys today, they fit. so i think maybe today ill make a slight detour and go to the machine shop and give them the key so they can make a matching keyway and then the flywheel should be done Thursday vs originally we were gonna drop the key off Thursday and then have the flywheel and spacer done by next Tuesday so I should be saving time if I drop it today. hope i made sense there lol

 

[DougStar]

That's good news

Yep, thank God for Amazon prime! Wouldn't be here if it was standard crap Shipping

im trying!! i think tomarrow im going to check out if Grainger has some nitrile or something for gasket material
also i dropped off the keys earlier today. hopefully, the rest of the stuff will be done Thursday!!

 

[Z.hb71]

Grainger don't have any nitrile sheets that aren't HUGE. So Ill just order from Amazon or something ?‍

Ok so the only people who have 15x24x5 skf PTFE or nitrile double lip seals are these people called motion industries. And they are smoking some weird poop. 10 bucks for shipping and it arrives may 14, so it's 19 USD shipped. Redicullous. It wouldn't be bad if it didn't arrive 13 days from now!!! And you can't buy direct from skf! So I found these people called TCM/Dichtomatik they supposedly are competitors to SKF. So what do you guys think? Here they are, buna n meterial (pretty much PTFE or nitrile, can't remember) double lip, reinforced. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/163043575887
For sum reason there are only these($10 shipped), skf ($19 from motion industries) , and Malossi ($23) other than some crappy China special. Be honest. I obviously don't want to cheap out but Malossi is redicullous and it's coming from Italy so that will take a while, skf takes a while and is retarded expensive for what they are, and these. Price is not everything but we move the 17th of may.

I don't know what you mean, can you give me a example?

Oops just re read. No there's not, atleast anywhere under a 2 hour drive that's completely opposite of we're we go

So you telling me If you want to fix your car 1/1 round were you live theres no spares shop??

 

[Z.hb71]

no theres stuff for 1/1 but nothing that small (15x24x5) and since im in the US, they use sae/imperial

 

[DougStar]

ae/imperial

That SUX!

 

[Z.hb71]

That SUX!

definitely!!!!!! i hate SAE, especially the fractions. metric is soo easy to understand.
anyways, im gonna order some Buna N for gasket meterial (been saying that for a week now ) and, question, i was thinking about using Seal All instead of gasket sealant/maker, good or bad idea? also will order a side rear body mount post cuz my dumbass leaned on it a little and it snapped.
