No one even thought about the harm an "out of line"muffler bearing" could do to the main Kinipty Pin!



That's because you need a Retroencabulator with a base plate of prefamulated ammunite onto which is mounted a maleable logarithmic casing housing the panametric fam; this of course consisting of six hydrocopic marzle-vanes so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side-fumbling is thereby prevented. But only if you further incorporate lotus-o-deltoid windings placed in the panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, so situated that every 7th winding is connected by a non-reversible tremmupipe to the differential girdle-spring on the up end of the grammeters. You will find that this will effectively reduce sinusoidal de-plenaration.

Status: offline 		Well yeah haveing the brake fluid catch fire deffinately suck's. But for me it's the power steering fluid that I'm having a problem with, I think a new power sterring pump is needed. Which is goona suck cause there really hards to find parts for

But Isaiah you way over complicating thing's. Somtimes a rubberband will do just fine, and if the rubberband doesnt work then duct tape. As you know duct tape is end all be all of everything.

Status: offline 		This is a repair that will work.the problem with the bearing is that it will not release under pressure because of carbon build up,repair by removing the bearing(be careful not to loose it) grind flat spots 180 degs. and drill a .060 hole ,install with the hole facing the muffler spring.as a safety have the radio turned off,only while you drill the hole,because the radio waves can plug up the hole.The price of a radio wave drill is out of sight today,most bearing repair shops don't like to fix someone else work that is screwed up. pub

Status: offline 		A lot of people have this bearing problem and don't use enough relative bearing grease. The Navy has used it for years. Be sure to determine if your bearings are metric, as they would require metric rather than SAE grease...

Status: offline 		Pub. Are you sure that your not thinking about the microwave. I've heard that if you have the microwave on while drilling the holes it will plug the hole up. And the substance that has plugged up the hole is almost impentrable. Infact I have heard that scientist's have yet to really identify this substance. But maybe they both do it, now isnt that scary .

But yes HI-lift that has been a problem for me in the past, would have metric grease but no standard grease laying around. Would use metric grease on standard and wow, would totally trash the muffler bearing's. I went to a sealed ceramic bearing now, but since it's sealed I cant for the life of mefigure out how I'm supposed to grease this thing. Has me jumping head over heals trying to figure out how to do this.

Does anybody have a answer.

then simply work it out with a pencil (constipated mathematician technique)

Status: offline 		125cc, you are most likely right about the microwaves ( if this is done in the house) .The secret to drilling is that it is done behind a mirror,and use fumunda lube when installing the bearing,spend a couple bucks and get a left hand reversing spring. pub

Status: offline 		Yeah but I heard that, the fumunda lube is kinda sticky, actually really stinky depending on what brand and who you get it form. And that it's almost impossible to wash of the hand's. But now the valves in the 2 stroke are shot, and need a set of valves for them if I ever want to run it again . man this hobby is awesome, but trying to find valves for a 2 stroke at this time of year is really hard.

Status: offline 		I'm a Driver Ed. teacher, I had a group of 3 drivers-2 girls and 1 boy, and as a joke on April 1st, I told the girl driving there was an odd noise coming from the back of the vehicle and instructed her to pull over.

On doing so, I then told her (and the other girl) to go to the back of the vehicle and look up the tail pipe and inspect the muffler bearings. (The boy knew what I was up to). What a Hoot that was !!! Imagine the look on drivers passing us on the road when these girls were doing this !! I then told them it was a joke and "Aprils fools".

They got me back a few days later......
