every man should own a lathe, a benchtop mill, and a surface grinder, a welder, an oxy acet rig, and a metal cutting bandsaw and learn the basics
File this away in a hope ya never need bin
I recently twisted out an air bleed bolt (gave it too many beans) Thankfully, nothing stripped, but I needed a new way to seal the replacement bolt. Your video came to mind in making a makeshift copper washer.
Little did I know that 7 years after I first watched this video that the knowledge you passed on would save the day. I was working on some equipment today and there were 4 blind holes that needed to be cleaned out and re-threaded. The taps of course were missing from the set and it's a Sunday. But by God I had grade 8 bolts and a angle grinder.
Here I sit, broken hearted. There were some threads, but they departed. It's up in the rails, the location's a sin. Me too big to reach, I need a Nguyen. She went halfway in and she started to curse, and my 1/2 inch Milwaukee made it much worse. I walked 'er back out with a jack and a pipe, 7 extensions and a big fuckin snipe. Now there is one bolt where there used to be dual, as I browse AvE on my Powerfist stool. I won't be defeated by the bolt-hole of lore, I'll weld that prick in there if the hole won't restore
A million ways to skin a cap but here are 2 faster ones that don't work as well but we'll get you out of a jam….
1) Heat the nut
Get some solder on it
Thread it in… done
OR
Wrap the nut with copper wire (like an 8" piece of telephone wire) that will act as a thread rebuild and crush washer all in one.
100 psi is baby shit.
That could take 5000 psi with little if any leakage NO problem.
And even if it did leak a bit, teflon or anti seize would end the leaking.
At least until you could get yourself to a second or first world country.
I have seen dodgier connections on 3500 PSI scuba tanks.
This is here for Honda oil pans..
Saw this video about 5 years ago and just last week I stumbled into a situation where I needed to use it. Thanks uncle bumblefuck👍🏻
Holy cow – I’ve actually been to Tianjin, in fact it was about a year before this video was released. I don’t believe it was the “New Economic Development Zone”. Also not sure if it was near the huge major explosions occurred later.
I know this videos old but I think it has the best AvE dialog I've heard
Mercedes 240d diesel spin on fuel filter. Always need an aluminum crush washer. Can’t be bought in parts stores. Does this work?
should have also pressure tested without the copper gasket to see what would have leaked out.
Thanks you jeebus? Thank you knipex
