Free tea and cake in Nuneaton.

I'm after an extra pair of hands in Nuneaton with an incredibly awkward steering box drop arm removal. :doh: :doh:

Just to assist and share bruised hands and fingers as it's becoming a drain on my human resources.


Any help would be gratefully received as soon as possible.

Why's the free cake always so far away

I'm about three quarters of an hour away but can still help if needed ?

just done one of them, started 6pm last night, knocked off at 2 this morning, carried on at 9 this morning, the arm popped at 2 this aft.

first made one of these



which didn't do a right lot apart from wheeze the relief valve at 2 tons,
so got cheesed off and made this for the press.
arm popped at 7 tons.

I can pop over to help if still needed

No idea what I'm doing mind you, but willing to help.

Ha ha No problem Matt. Think I'll freeze it for the cake run


I'll have help eating it then

they are such a poor idea, changed one once best way is box off cut arm off and fit with a disco one, they are track rod ends so the arm stays on the box for ever and you can just spin a new track rod end on with ease.

This one was properly welded on.

it took a serious amount of grinding and whacking with a very large hammer and a half shaft to get it off.

Take the nut off and drive down a rattly green lane/few kerbs etc, usually works but ends in death of driver

Slightly extreme bud. But i'm sure refitting the new one from beyond the grave should be fun.
