leversole Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Must be nice! When I set up the motorcycle jack to take off the spindle/drum, I mis-judged which way the wheel assembly would go...kinda set the drum on the motorcycle jack cradle...came off nice but when it cleared it fell forward (I had it chained to not fall backwards!) the drum dinged the spindle threads a tiny but, but I can chase them...will probably build a little wooden helper to mount the wheel assembly to the jack so I can smoosh it on!

I got tired of figthing the weight so the reason for purchasing this thing. Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
