    Even before the net everything comes together as it should. We have to get back in touch with the natural order of things.

     

    I do appreciate your help though man. Goes a long way.

    answer me this, how are you going to get the bread..or whatever you use ?, down under the bearing from the start ?, if there is no room under the bearing, i do not see how you can get anything under it to push this bearing out. this bearing sits down flush inside the case, as in..flat down inside, no space under the bearing. if there was a space under the bearing ?, then yeah..this might work, but seeing how the bearing is all the way down inside the case, i do not see it working..but hey..what do i know ?..i'm just a home school'ed mechanic !..lol.

     

    I had the same thinking. I just knew it sounded stupid because there was no room for the bread to get under the bearing. Idk what the science behind it is, but the bread finds a way to smush under the bearing. Once it does. It's nothing but up from there.

    Toilet paper works too.... Just gotta make sure it's wet..... BUT NOT USED! Lol! 

     

    Paper towels

     

    soap grease theres a bunch of defrent materials can be used ..... 

     

    My friend Richard uses TP......said grease was to messy, and you never want anything (especaily petroleum products) on the contact surfaces of a dry clutch.... 

     

    Charmin 🐻? Lol

     

    I was just amazed at how easy the process was and watching the bearings lift was puzzling lol

    Yup..... Done that myself ..... Works great for pushing out a flywheel pilot bearing.... Among others, that's a great  old school problem solver.

     

    When someone told me that trick I was all man whatever. Till I tried it.

     

    It's the best thing since sliced bread🤣😂😂

    I know it sounds a bit hokey but it works, an old timer showed me years ago

    Get a couple slices of bread-fresh lol, if its stale you can dampen it a bit,stuff it down in the bearing hole and find a bolt or shaft that will fit the

    hole closely and just keep packing it in there, pretty soon it will get full and as you tap it down with a hammer to keep packing it in it will force the bearing out, you dont have to tap too hard just enough to keep packing it in

    Then when it comes out you can just pull out the bread with a pick etc from the hole

    First time i did it I was amazed, love the old time ingenuity of it

    Let me know how it works for you, might want to support rear of the bearing (opposite side) with wooden block etc

     

    This works like a charm. I do this when replacing bearings in my rc car motors. Easy money

    Yessir. I been brazing 13 years and soft solderin about the same. That's a cake walk. I am an hvac tech so it's all by trade.

     

    Side note if anyone needs any hvac related help I could likely guide in the right direction, given the right info on the situation.

    Oh hey guys good news! Since making the grab bar the weather warmed up a bit and I got to run the quad more then a few mins. That smoke was just moisture from old 108 octane I have left over. I notice moisture building on the grab bar when it was folded down partially blocking the exhaust outlet of the muffler. I lifted the bar out of the way and let the engine heat up and no more white smoke from moisture!  I'll still get that compression tester as I would like to see what the engine health really is.

     

    That said I am getting some kibble white valve seals  and gaskets after I chip in here in a few weeks. That should stop the oil on the spark plug issue.

    yeah..with mig..you do need gas for stainless steel. i don't see much stainless steel with atv's from the factory ?..lol. so i use my mig with flux core.

    got this welder due to needing to weld new stainless bolts on a big stainless humidifier tank at work. That was easy even though I apparently have been using this the incorrect way. 

     

    Since I've always wanted to learn I took that opportunity to bring it home and learn on my own.  Though the welds on the quad look bad I smooth them out to look good 🤣

    You know the crazy thing is.  I went back to the shop I got the welder from and told them hey I can't weld with this thing. They were like stick welders don't make pretty nice looking wells welds. I was like really, then went and looked up vids and found that to not be true. 

     

    Fish is the first person I met who actually got me headed in the right direction. Thanks dude

     

    I have used the rental welder at home depot.  I was about to get the mig tig version of this one but that shop said I would need gas to weld stainless.

     

    I'll keep Practicing on making it look better.  Getting the correct pool and penitration isn't hard now.
