My favorite things

Power tools and 40s!

Some things make life better by simply existing. Impact wrenches and Miller High Life 40s are two of those things.

This is the first time I've ever even seen a clutch attached to a motor in real life, but removing it was very straight forward.

These five bolts were all it took, and the disk just pryed off of the flywheel.

Flywheel is a little rusty, but I am pretty sure it's just on the surface.

Blasted the six bolts in the center with my Impact Wrench and made very short work of flywheel removal. That metal plate mounts between the flywheel and the block, as you can see by the outline of street funk.

Those four corner bolts will attach to the engine stand, and the center spindle that the flywheel bolted to is the crank shaft. You can see in the photo that there is some sort of brass-like flange or spacer that is mashed, split, and half missing. I have no idea what that is.

Had to pickup these bolts from Sears since Lowe's carries ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for metric. They are about 3.5" long solid shaft 10x1.5. Just in case you were wondering.

From Z


Hoist up your dirty hooker motor and line it up by semi-loosening the mounting arms.

From Z


Now bolt that bad bitch up!

And please make sure you fully tighten the mounting arm bolts. I almost forgot lol.

One of my new favorite things.
