Hi Andy.

I'm happy to swap if you want to. Do you have a customer who desperately wants an Iwis triplex?
I bought it from you a few years ago but have never used it. I recall at the time you said it was from the last few feet of Iwis triplex in existence. Must be worth a fortune  ;)

I'll send you an email.

Cam,

Pull the spacer off together with the bearing race.  One of those bearing splitter contraptions with a puller should work nicely.

I don't have one of those bearing splitter contraptions, so I cobbled together a puller out of scraps.

Brought to you by the Rough as Guts Tool Company (patent pending)
Now that I've finished with it, I doubt I'll ever need it again. Maybe I should put it on ebay. What sort of reserve should I put on it?

I saw a 36mm 1/2" drive deep socket in Super Cheap Auto yesterday sold as an axle socket for under $NZ30.00. An option in case the fabricated socket fails during the re-assembly. It was probably 60mm deep- not sure if this is deep enough or not.
 
well deep enough AJ

is it just me but the more you post about this the more im thinking that Tasmania is in fact a lot more closely related to NZ than Australia

I even think that the kiwis have not thought of such ingenuity yet

Is Van Diemen the new epicentre of design

yea. i got that 'axle' socket from SuperCrap Auto on Thursday.  not quite deep enough, misses out by about 25 mm.  is about 78 mm from hex nut to end of the crank.
but,,  not a problem if ya heading over to the Redax shed the next day, and lucky enough to ask the boss for a favour while the bloke is still in a good mood.  i.e.  before Red starts swearing at more farken Laverda's.
the Supercrap socket soon gets transformed into another one of me special Redax Laverda tools.  a skilled craftsman at work.
thanks Red.  & Maxene.  another good day at Redax,  and then Yogi turns up just before beer o'clock!  choice.  8)

& i had to smile, when i was wondering about the exact length to cut for the pipe spacer,  and Red casually reaches around and grabs a series-1 crank end that just happens to be sitting over on the other bench!  & says "will this help?"
well,, i thought it was funny.  :D

For those of us who don\t have Red's shed resources handy (like, if you live on the other side of the world), and who also lack Cam's resourcefulness (we don't need to say anything about tastefulness here :D), Wolfgang puts people on to a commercial product that actually works to get the 36 mm nut off. Grey Pneumatics 2036XMD, readily available from a variety of online sources, does the job a treat (111mm internal depth, about 86mm actually needed). Maybe not quite as much fun as the contraptions elsewhere in this thread  :D but you can't have everything.

I know that Cam is a tight bastard (well maybe better to say resourcefull) and he would always make his bit of kit if he could,but it realy is very easy to remove the sleeve nut, what is required is a cheap as chips 36x42 box spanner, here is the one that I use and is thirty or more years in service, also a home made tool for locking the crank sprocket.

The problem with a deep socket, even a very deep one is that they are
a) not deep enough (no problem if you can weld in a gas pipe extension, preferable turned and trued on a lathe)
b) 36mm sockets are generally made for heavy industrial applications such as ships/bridges and they usually have a recess at the leading edge of the socket, which is about the same thicknes as the very thin Laverda hexagon part of the sleeve nut, so that has to be turned off as well, to give you a square edge.

here is one that my son (David) extended for Dieseldavies, it needs the end turning square, and those black impact sockets are seriously tough things to cut, (well it was before I welded it!), consequently, because of the recess in the haxagon female lead in, I dont think he was able to use it.

I bought a long reach 36mm socket some years ago.
Fits perfectly. Will last forever too.
 
Facom! Facom all, that's what I say.
It is good stuff though.

Clem, I have turned a few impact sockets - no problem with Tunsten Carbide tips.
Frowned upon by safety departments now, unlicenced modification apparently.

No, it was a workplace thing. You are safe.

We even had to throw away all our 'special' spanners we had accumulated over the years (well they disappeared from view anyway).
 
Hmmm 45 mins
Takes that long walking around scratching
Looking for the missing socket that bounced
away !!
Ok it's believable and possible for Red
But it's the bloody 2 months it takes for
Us mere mortals to work out where
It all goes back!
I wish it was that easy,
Cam did u split your engine bottom
Only?
Any pics?
