Hi,
I'm attempting to replace the CV joints on the better half's Turbo colt. The
kits that were provided had these cheesy clamps that I am having trouble with -
they are Band-It retaining bands that consist of a clamp on several loops of
steel band that you are supposed to just pull on to get tight.
Has anyone out there had any experience with these things? I seem to have
to use a substantial amount of force on them to get them to tighten at all
(using the big screwdriver on the clamp and pulling REAL hard on the end
trick), and I have a couple that I can't budge - I must be doing something
wrong, or is it just simply that a large % of these things are defective?
Ob. britcar content..
How do you guys in the midwest deal with the rust? This Colt came from
minnesota, and a lot of the bolts were quite rusted, thank you, and it had
spent only the first 3 or so years of its life there... It was interesting -
I was repeatedly asking myself, "if this was my LBC, what would I have to
do to get this part off?" - the Triumph was good training...
Thanks in advance for any illumination anyone can shed on these @#$@%& things,
rkg
