when I removed my hubs from the shafts I found it was the key sticking in the key way that was holding it . I gave the keyway side of the hub more hits than the other sides as I rotated it. (plus I used a gas torch from a brazing hearth on it as well.)

As Dobber says, if you're going for disc brakes & don't need the drum back plates, cut 'em off so you can get a clear shot at the hub. .... cos they will ping out, ricochet off the ceiling of your shed & never be seen again. Yeah, I speak from experience.  I'm trying to preserve the drum back plates for Triker Pete, I'll persevere a while longer before I trash them. Yeah, Ive lost collets before like that, I used to press them down with a ring spanner against a wooden block and get a mate to pull them out with a pair of snipe nosed pliers. I'm getting older and more cautious now, so ive ordered a cheap valve spring compressor. Best to show Will how to do it properly as well I thought  So when the compressor slips off and the spring goes across the kitchen and hits one of Cath's ornaments, I can blame the cheap tool, rather thant the tool operating it  |

Its coming together ok now, but slowly. Been cleaning the end plates this evening, going to get them in fresh paint tomorrow am, and fit them in the pm. Crank turns over a sweet as anything now, its in the block I got from you with 2 of your pistons and the cam shaft Dobber |

Spent the evening playing with the new MIG, laying a few practice welds. Getting the hang of it faster than I did oxy acet all those years ago. Had fun to be honest. Apparently the tarp workshop looked spectacular in the dark. |

Ha Ha Ha. I was as happy as a happy thing last night just ferkeling about with bits of old steel. I think I must be getting old myself! Took me ages to set up the power / wire speed / gas flow to get anything approaching a decent weld, in the end they looked pretty good, so there is hope I think.
Also hoping to get the engine complete and running in a test frame next week while i'm off work. So thats the first real job for the mig.
My brother is a proper welder, so he's gonna give me and Will lessons etc, hopefully I can get good enough to do my own frame, thats the plan anyway!
