GeePig Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Tapers can be a real pain to budge, keep tightening the puller and strike head of bolt, re-tighten. Careful if striking actual drum in case you break it. When they go they come off with a bang. .... Standing to the side helps as well, because when it finally comes off...

42 chevy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 When I was taking the yokes off of the differentials on the Diamond T, I had the puller attached, penatrating oil sprayed on and they would not budge. I took a 10 pound sledge, stood off to the side and after about the 3rd wack, BANG and they flew about 3 feet. John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammellpioneer Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Sorry there has been no updates for a while, not had much time for the Scammell! We have just started on the cab and have taken of the front panel and ate just drilling all the new holes in the new panel. We still need to take of the rest of the cab panels, the radiator, finish stripping down and painting the winch cleaning engine and gear box and then paint them! Then while the cab is still stripped down we will start on the re-wiring which looks like a big job!! We had a Diesel engine specialist up the other day to have a look at the engine and he seams to think there could be a tappet/exhaust valve problem so we are going to have to do something with that. Have done a little bit more painting in the chassis only first coat will be getting some more! Welded the bottom of the tank as it was leaking and put it back on for time being!

That's 3 now the restoration has been started but not finished it needs a lot of work but comes with a lot of spares which will help us with the other Scammell!

scammellpioneer Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I know!! It's just finding time, as hard as it sounds, by the time I'm home it's dark haha! There will be some tomorrow I swear! won't be getting the new one home for some time as its not yet drivable, it runs just that the clutch stop drum is a tad distorted and has a few chunks out of it haha! So once we put a new drum on that we have hopefully we can drive her down the lane, in the time being it will be staying at a friends house who has the low loader! How are your scammela doing Niels?
