You just saved me a ton of frustration and a gazzilion hours trying to figure out how to remove these bearings without special tools. Thank you a bunch!
@@LoneStarMini .....Eddie Money looks like you..... ( I'm not actually sure what Eddie Money looks like ......but John Lennon had a chauffeur driven Mini )
I am just about to start this very process on my Brit Spec 87 Mini. I live near Dallas, not sure how far that is from you. I really like your simple break down of these steps. I appreciate your youtube channel.
Removing....... I'm still "moving" Mini parts. About one or two more loads to go and the whole Mini collection will have been moved....All late 60's rust. tHanks for the tip and video
@@LoneStarMini They have spent many years in a family basement. A couple years back I knew that a time would come when I would need to move them to storage. They are heavy. Up stairs...down stairs...down the driveway heavy. So two years ago I began. I had to sort and organize before moving anything. Over this past winter I was down to the last few loads....the stuff that was scattered or one of a kind. Then life took over....and the need to move things was upon us....only us is me. Meanwhile for three or more years I was looking for pallet racking. I got the first few sections about two years ago and then I could not find 12' beams. A year and a half ago I found three....and then months later the 4th. I built the pallet racking in storage and soon I had a place for the Mini parts. I then started a built a small loft and most of the parts are on the rack except all the engine blocks and heads and a few other heavy things. The parts are safe now and more organized than they have been. Now...If I only had a shell that was worth assembling. It is 200 miles between where the parts were and where the new home is.
@@vincentfederico1585 thanks.. I have used the tool a few times now and will need it again. AC Dodd may have one in stock, I would contact him if interested. It’s a fabulous tool
Great info! easiest way i've seen it done for sure!
Agreed.. gotta love simplicity

Nice idea! i have an old gear stick with the threaded end bent slightly, just feed it down and hammer the bearing out.
Well done…. And creative

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals wow… I do hope you are able to put them to good use one day.. you need to do type own mini part video…
Hello. Great video. I saw a post you made about the AC Dodd radius arm reamer tool. I was wondering if you want to sell it. Please let me know. Thanks
@@vincentfederico1585 thanks.. I have used the tool a few times now and will need it again. AC Dodd may have one in stock, I would contact him if interested. It’s a fabulous tool
Well done mate, VERY useful!
Thanks Tomo!
Pop corn time 🤣
The video will be over before you pop the corn.. 🙂
Feel like I've been cheated on LOL
@LoneStarMini We don't do stupid stuff like putting it in the microwave, we just open the bag and start munching.
@@classicminiworkshop no harm in having 2 in your life lol
