Where can I buy the bolt breaker
In the US this is the ordering number and item code information. If you are in a different region outside the US or Canada you can use this a reference and you should be all set- www.flexco.com/EN/Product/4423/BoltBreaker.htm
What is the name & Specs of Tool & drill bit used for making holes?
The tool is an ½” drive impact wrench with a max 250 ft. lbs. (339 Nm).
The bit used for making the holes is the Flexco Power Punch. Depending on what size fastener you are installing you will need the corresponding punch size. To tighten the nuts you will need the Power Wrench. Once again choosing the correct size for the corresponding fastener size. Lastly, you will need the Quick Change Chuck to attach the Punch and Wrench to the impact wrench tool.
Can you make a tutorial on how to hand cut skives?
For safety reasons Flexco does not promote skiving a belt by hand. For better results and for your safety consider the FSK Belt skiver: www.flexco.com/EN/Product-Systems/Belt-Maintenance-Tools/FSKsupsup-Belt-Skiver.htm
@@FlexcoTube Well I am learning how to splice and thus, i am not interested in buying such a specialized product, my old man is a splicer with rema, and I always wear gloves whenever using knives, Could you please send a manual on the topic. Have a nice day.

BONJOUR SUR CHANTIER CEST PAS LA MEME
Very good 👍
what kind of fluid did you spray on the flexco unit before you locked it?
Flexco Silicone Lubricant
It's an excellent idea and fast way to joining a belt.
What do you do when the boat pops out of the back and then you can’t get it to fasten down?
It is recommended to place wood or hard surface underneath to prevent the bolt from backing out. If the bolt does back out you can hammer them back into location making sure the tabs realign. In addition, hand tightening the nuts so the plates contact the belt cover will help prevent the bolt from backing out.
This is join a fabric belt, how about steel cord belt? Can you show me the way to join it
Hello, you can use the same method to install rip repair on steel cable. Make sure you pick the correct fastener size to try to match the pitch of the cables so the bolts place between cables. The larger the fastener the better so you can lock in more cables for added strength.
FlexcoTube Thank you so much.
How about removing old worn flexcos?
You can use the Flexco Cracking Chisel to break the nuts to then remove the bolts and worn plates. Another option is to grind an “X” on the nut to detach it from the bolt threads and then remove the bolt and worn plates. Make sure not to damage the belt if grinding the nut. You can then replace this area with a new Flexco if the holes are still in-tact.
I use a 2x10 piece of wood faced with 3-16 mild steel to support the belt. One smack with the cracking chisel with a 4 pound hammer does the trick.
What if the belt thinner than that...what do you use ?
Bolt solid fasteners can go down to an overall thickness of 5mm at the thinnest belt size.
