The notched screwdriver looks to be a decent approach, but it seems to me that you're making life far harder for yourself with the nail. I appreciate you're trying to keep the spring in a position where you can slide it to engage properly, but that definitely looked like the kind of job that would have justified a custom tool; think something like your notched screwdriver but which also engages and pivots over the coil of the spring - load spring, engage tool, lean over to compress the arm, slide into place. Yeah, that's far easier to say than to do... Anyroadup, the result is good, so well done.
A bit late to tell you now, but if you slide the spring to one side with long nose pliers one leg will pop out quite easily. Install in the same way. Thanks for the tip with the jubilee clip, I have one with a cracked ring and some spares to cannibalise.
the footage of success was interspersed with fails - the long nose pliers and slide technique being one - springs too strong of my hands. the jaws however definitely have to come out to get that ring off. the real fun is on the collets for smaller diameters where it is way more tricksy to get the jaws both out, ant back in Shed guy
Hi, I was wondering if I might trouble you to share which wheels you use on your brierley drill grinder? We have one of these machines in my shop and I have been restoring it to full working order and your videos have been very valuable. Thanks in advance!
Well, that took some doing! good job!
yep another battle I probably didn't need to fight
