    So I just used this technique with a heat gun to remove the bonding strips for my lower front valence on my 72 C3. Wow! It works beautifully! Used a heat gun and putting knife. Took me about 45 minutes but got the valence off without cutting or chiseling. Just take your time and apply heat, remove the edges at the bonding strip, continue applying heat, wedging the putty knife under the bonding strip, etc.

    Thanks for all those tricks. I'm in the middle of a Muncie rebuild right now. I got my rebuild kit from Paul also. That's great advice about not pressing out the reverse idler gear bushings. Those countershaft needle bearings are a pain. I put my counter shaft in the freezer to help those needle bearings stick after they are installed. I like your undersized needle bearing chase idea. I love the idea of using the anaerobic sealer on the countershaft thrust washers. I'm going to try that. Great tips. Thanks.

    Great video! I just removed my springs and control arms using your method. But I used 5/8" stainless steel threaded rod, nuts and washers. But I used a wheel puller to mount to the lower arm and bolted it to the shock mount... Worked perfectly for removing the springs and will be just as easy to install the new ones. BTW it took me 45 minutes to remove the passenger side upper, lower control arms, spindle and springs. SAFELY!

  • @dclipper8052
    @dclipper8052 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the very book you cited, McLellan explains that the X brace was added to the convertibles to fix a localized vibration in the seats and floor pan. Page 146, second paragraph. Nowhere does he say anything about it stiffening the chassis. And the reason is because it does not stiffen the chassis. They did other things for that, as explained in the same paragraph. This piece is worthless for addressing the torsional flex these cars suffer and I'm afraid you've wasted your time, money, and effort putting it in your car. Moreover, this video is perpetuating this myth among all the unwitting who come here to watch it. Your intentions are good but your intel is bad. Anyone who is not convinced, take this assembly or any one like it and grab it by two ends while sticking the other two under something heavy and then see how much you can twist the thing with just the force of your puny human arms. Now imagine what a thousand ft-lbs like a car chassis experiences would do.

    Thanks for doing this video. It helps a lot. Currently have a 1966 corvette with the splash shield in the left rear fender where the power antenna bracket attaches.) The splash panel is broken in half right below the antenna bracket. I believe this splash shield was just bonded to the left fender and body pan without a bonding strip. Do you have any recommendations for how to remove this splash shield? I do not want to damage the exterior paint on the fender. Was thinking of just cutting it out and then sending it flush to the fender and body pan? Was wondering what your opinion is. Again thank you.

      It is a 10 second exposure time to the UV light, not instantaneous as I explained in my video. To me 10 seconds is pretty instantaneous compared to other adhesives. I've fixed jewelry, glasses, strain relieved wires, and so many broken tabs on plastic trim already. It is pretty awesome. At work we have UV adhesives, but you need to buy expensive light sources and large quantity tubes of material. Having a small quantity of material and a self contained light source is great. I've relegated one of these to my portable tool bag.

I like the idea of all of it coming assembled in a box. I read some reviews on it it and some said there was rust on the next filler? Did you come across any quality issues with your new pump?
