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.

Y'all got it all wrong, the only way to keep the muffler bearings in good shape is to make sure that the exhaust jets are properly tuned, that way they won't overheat or cause a flash fire of the brake fluid[sm=wink_smile.gif]

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.

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

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...

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. [X(]
Does anybody have a answer.

ok, to chang the muffler bearing: disconnect the thingamy that goes between the wheel and the wotsit
then simply work it out with a pencil (constipated mathematician technique)

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

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.

I was just a little guy when I had my sinusoidals de-plenarized. But that has nothing to do with muffler bearings-----

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......

We keep the car in a separate garage, and they told me we had a flat tire and couldn't drive that day. Upon going out to the garage to inspect the car, there was no problem.
They were "reaching" to try to get back at me with this lame joke !!!
This was probably 15-20 years ago. Looking back at it now, I wouldn't do this because someone's parent would call the school saying "I was endangering their son/daughters life by having them stand beside the car along side the road looking up the tail pipe at the muffler bearings !!" (We were in a safe and secure place for such a joke). I would only do this with students I knew would take it as a joke and not being vindictive.
Or they would say "You were making fun of my son/daughter by asking them to do such a thing" and I would be repremanded.
You just can't have the honest fun-report with students like you use too. Too many people out there trying to find ways to "Sue" the school system for inappropriate behavior or the like.
It takes the fun out of teaching. But here I sit at the computer during my free period-using the schools computer and time to type this reply. Go figure

I've found that you can restore damaged or worn muffler bearings (ceramic, metal, or plastic) by soaking them overnight in Dihydrogenmonoxide. Be sure to use extreme caution because it is a very dangerous substance that can kill you in less than a minute.

You want to keep those mufflet bearings clean with propwash and lubed well with a can of Liquid Air. That will put some zing back into that .40. Make sure you have at least 2 high performance decals on the plane. Those alone are worth 10 mph.If it ain't broke, you're not trying hard enough.

If you are into pylon racing...try putting a couple of 48 decals on your plane...Jimmie Johnson did and look at him, 2 consecutive Nextel Cup Championships...lol, had to post that as I work for Lowe's. Jeff

I found muffler bearings at Performance Specialties but this looks for real - even priced at $18.

It even lets you add them to your cart!! I just might ask my LHS guy for muffler bearings or a gallon of propwash next time I see him!
