so replaced the brushes in my trusty DeWalt 4011 angle grinder only to find out it's gotta Blown Head Gaskit !!! and for the life of me I have no idea how to press that flux capacitor bearing out, YouTube seems to have 7 videos each on all the other DeWalt grinders but none on this one

Re: Restoring Rusty
Here's the parts blowup of the DWE4011 angle grinder.
https://www.ereplacementparts.com/de...66_203226.html I'd pull the snap ring off the top of the gear and push the shaft out. It takes some special grease for the high rotational speed. The grease Dewalt calls for contains Tripheneyl Phosphate. It's typically a plasticizer so I'm not sure what they added it to grease for but I bet the chemists had a reason. Possibly for the phosphorous EP properties. Triphenely Phosphate is a phenol/phosphoric acid derivative so it's pretty nasty toxic stuff. You want to be careful about getting it on your skin. |
Re: Restoring Rusty
I can't believe after all the grinding you've done that you haven't purchased one of these. I don't necessarily like the phrase, but it really was a game-changer once I got one. Same with my blasting cabinet. Plus 50 lb black diamond bags at Tractor Supply for only $9, and it's hard to beat (get the fine).

so what did you end up getting, from the 30 seconds of research I've done over the years on compressors for media blasting and painting I recon one might need a Double Pumper, and being on thin ice with my friendly HOA I think an Ultra Quiet one won't hurt none either |

from here, things got even more boring
I like to save my blood each and every time I bust a knuckle or get cut whilst wrenching on my truck so that later I can use it as cutting oil and return the favor |

so a bit of bad news aka Grinder Update, well even with new brushes and new bearings that thing struggles to spin, gives off a funny smell, and sounds like the ice cube dispenser in my fridge
so I did the right thing and jumped on The eBay and bought another one, also used, also broken aka "For Parts Only" in hopes that out of two broken ones WE (yes you are in on this too after all) WE can end up with maybe one semi quiet non smokey spinner!? |

I like to get the cleaned raw metal parts in primer right quick, as they have a tendency to flash rust imediatemente

so we ended up with 8 broken springs, and I tell you what, I bet you have more weakened or broken springs in your bench seat than you think, I knew some were gonna brake as I tried to take them out of the frame, but others showed how weak they were only once I took a wire wheel to them and knocked off all the rust

Re: Restoring Rusty

had a little assembly line going, these springs are awaiting the dance with the wire wheel

Re: Restoring Rusty

and these have already been cleaned, one by one mind you

all in all I managed to salvage and clean a dozen springs, though only 11 survived as 1 seemed to spring from the angle grinder and go flying into our new neighbor's back yard... allegedly

Ah but Greg, surely you did not use that "regular" paint on your exhaust, and went out and bought proper high heat BBQ paint or manifold paint?

Re: Restoring Rusty
guys I honestly don't know what I did to upset the upholstery gods Vinyllo and Leatherodite but it's been 10 days now since I ordered my bench seat cover from USA1 and no cover yet, not even a shipping confirmation nor a tracking number
So I authored an electronic mail to their customer service department and received this message: "All seat covers currently have a 8-10 week lead time from order date at this time." well had I known this I would NOT have ordered from them, I would have raised a calf to full grown cow myself, and liberated it's hide by myself, do you think they should have put that DISCLAIMER on their products page? |

Way too many outfits are frightened to let this information out in the wild. Amazon still claims Free 2 day shipping with PRIME, ummm NOPE, it's seven business days for me if I sacrifice a printer or a calculator on the altar of the appropriate god. Supply chain interruptions are not going to get better as tensions escalate with China. |
