Splitting cases?
gwcrim:
I was searching around for encouragement to split my own cases. Can you send them buddies on a road trip?
I just took apart, cleaned, oiled and reassembled the movement on a wind up wall clock. Never did it before. All the info said that special tools were needed. I don't need no steenkin special tools. Looks like it will work.
I used to rebuild my Mopar 4 speeds w/out a press. Had it down pat. I just dropped the shafts onto a thick board and the gears would work themselves off. That was all iron and steel, though.
I figure that there's a way to split cases w/out special tools but if I want it to reassemble nice and tight maybe I'll have someone else do it. If I fug it up, that would be one expensive lesson in case disassembly.
I can take anything apart. Getting it all back together........ well...... that's another story.

You saying a floor jack,pickup truck and a couple blocks of wood don't count as a special tool.

They had weed and a motor to rebuild and they were not going to let a small thing like the lack of a shop press stop them. So with bong in hand and probably a paper clip to poke the stem with, these guys pressed the engine back together with a floor jack and a pickup truck. Even though they pulled it off and probably smoked some more pot and watched some mtv afterwards you should not try doing this because you probably can't do it.
