First buy a decent vice and then test it

My Aussie made Sid Ratchet, disassembly: take out circlip, push out centre, the pawl comes out by rotating the pawl 180 degrees, do that by pushing inside the ratchet head on one side of the pawl with a very small flat head screwdriver or other tool, there is a spring and ballbearing behind the pawl which will pop out when you rotate the pawl through 180, I guess grease the spring and ball on the back of the pawl but these are not sealed heads so grease not oil, being unsealed I guess regularly perform maintenance because they do fill up with crap, literally only 4 moving parts inside these heads.

Australian made Sidchrome ?

What was ratchet is now perfectly fine. Nice work 👍

This is basically the maintenance I do for the ratchet at my work. I work at a Biogas. And I found filling up the inside with anti seize paste, avoids me having to clean it inside out, every single time it has been in contact with water or slurry. Kept it alive for four years so far, vs the old one that only lasted a year. Sometimes a little maintenance once in a while, really do wonders.

Bloody helpful mate!

Interesting mate. When the drum is empty or at the end of day what happens as in how’s the drum cleaned? Is it filled with water and cleaned out? Or? Overtime is there much build up inside the drum?

You would really like the blue handled picquic called the super 8 plus, the bit holder flips over between 1/4" and 5/16" to use as a nut driver as well, and still has the spot to put a wrench on. Also comes with a valve stem remover in addition to all the ones that came with yours. I love mine, it's a space saver in my toolbag, especially since robertson screws are usually all I use and can never find a phillips, so having both handy is nice.

Looks like a nice beater knife.

Looks good mate handy for a small on the go tool kit of bag. I brought not long ago a big pack of Robertson wood screws I much perfer them over Phillips head. Whys everything Phillips must be a cost factor.

You seem to have mastered the opening technique. I may get one. My local hardware has them for $15.

Hey Woody, that was pretty easy! They are Ace Of Spades by Motorhead, Time Warp from Rocky horror and Jump by Van Halen. How do I claim my prize?

Still kicking mate any issues with it? Maybe a long term review video if you get the time?

Love these mate I’d love some but the price put me off. How often do you use them?

Due for another one of these mate please

Very cool

Nice Video. Hard to find a break down on these old Koken's. Those are some big thick teeth on that ratchet. I think it would be smoother with a heavier lubricant like a light grease maybe Super Lube. I love restoring old hand tools. It is a blast.

I found there is just enough room to put a battery tender cable in and have the pigtail come out between the battery cover and the ignition cover. Then anytime I don't ride for a day or two I plug it in. In the US at least a cheap tender can be had for around $20 USD so it's worth it to me.

Hi there, thanks for the video. can you tell me if it is possible to only use 4 shelves? And use the last one separately? Thank you

I was seriously considering Starlink, but we FINALLY got FTTP last week, after 15 years on terrible ADSL and 4 on FTTN (Which was about as reliable as carrier pigeons during duck season!). 1000/40 (Realistically 800/48) and it's good, but if I could not have got this I would have used Starlink as many guys at work rave about the speed and reliability. Oh and daughter is in Blackwater, so a little north west of you - nice area once you leave Brissie and head north and inland

thanks this helped, i need to replace my spring upper pads with some better non shredded nolathane ones!

"My how data flies" ? What lol

Thanks for the video. AU2 wiring seems backwards compared to the OEX globe socket. After some trial and error. The correct wiring is: 1. AU2 green to sockets brown-whitestripe. 2. AU2 brown to sockets blue. 3. AU2 black to sockets brown My globes would only go in one way for me (which is intentional). Make sure to disconnect your battery first and electrical tape around connections, or you'll blow a fuse.

I like yer bike.....I like the solo seat look.

Well done on the 500 subscribers Woody, great achievement 👏

very helpful thanks! Good to see how simple it is to pull apart the clamps to fit through.

As a plumber, these have a place:). Thanks for the video

Ive recently got the big set and have found the spanners round off bolts because of the ridges that are meant to help on rounded bolts. Did you have a similar problem?

Needs pressure on the clutch by means of the clutch lever and spring, which is mounted in the right cover. Goes through the motions but nothing selects (with the exception of maybe 1 gear change) with the cover off. Probably needs freeplay adjustment too. These are simple systems but take a little getting used to.

Does it work with laptop? Without an extra piece?

Once you need it, it will be worth a whole lot more ;) Anything worth doing, is worth doing well, even if it seems to have no value before you did it.

Hi....do you think your new Triumph is as good as the old ones....quality and craftmanship ?

😯 53 !? 😥

Just rub a little oil on them or just use them they will rust if they sit there bud. 🤦

JUST assembled mine...instructio wwere usless.

I went to start my Speedmaster after a winter lay-up and petrol poured out everywhere, it's flooded the airbox with fuel and now I'm here learning how to remove it. I thought it might be simple but I'm going to have to strip the back end out completely.

Japanese quality 👌👌👌 Mate have you seen the new Milwaukee long pliers?? They are on my to get list shortly 👍

Yet to own any tools by bahco eventually I will get something 👍🏻🇦🇺😎

Good Job! The VX3 is a good chain!

Is the process much different for the front springs? Thanks for the video.

Good to hear you spent a little bit more on a decent one. How's the new job treating you?

I saw this product today (April 2024) for $30 in the post office and thought that the Australian Geographic label would promise a good product. I too was disappointed. For starters they should put a diagram labelling the parts into the kit. The tripod was useless as it is unstable with the weight of the mangifier attached to it. Trying to align the phone camera lense whilst manoeuvring the phone holder off to the side was annoying. You would need to mount this onto a proper stable camera tripod. You have to firstly put your camera phone onto full zoom, make sure that the back portion of the magnifier is pushed well into the unit (as it slides about 5 mm backwards), adjust the tiny focus wheel and you end up with such a small area that is actually magnified that this item is probably quiet useless. Yes, you could use the video feature of your phone to zoom in on a distant item (and use the telephoto magnifier to bring that item a little closer) but you'd be better off buying a decent camera. I might try to use it when I go out painting in the landscape to see if I can get closer images of distant subject matter, but I am thinking that this item will end up at the op-shop pretty soon.

That's not a fake milwaukee, that's a real milfuckee

I would have never thought to use the air to help it on like you did nice one mate I have learnt something today 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
