Default *Baller status*

I'm still impressed that you did it with a 1/2" torque wrench.

Default Only cause I'm cheap the rest of the time :)

With the thrust bearing and the greased threads it was really easy for the most part. The only time I had to put muscle into it was initially breaking the bearing loose from the housing, after it moved I was able to crank away with one hand.

I also handled the axle bolt with just the wrench, no cheater bar, go arms!

Nice, so this tool allows you to do it without yanking everything and using a press, nice.

Default When my first started going (and the one that's on its way out now) it didn't change pitch

when unloading it. After I let it go for a few weeks that's when it became apparent. Really loud and easily changed pitch.

Default Yep, I was really apprehensive when I started, I had visions of having to yank it all off and find

a press if the tool couldn't handle it. Worked just great!

Default duh...all cars "run" on air...and...fuel silly. :-P

That said, it would most likely go faster with a sail than it does with its 50hp boxer.
