Hi Steve Et Al
Well you see Steve it is like this, you take your little thing and push it
into the a hole as deep as you can, making sure that it is in the right way
of course. You then take your staking tool (Punch blunt chisel) and you
stake around the hole at 90 degrees.
Basically what you are trying to do is to deform the edge of the hole so
that the little thing cannot get out.
Simple huh, just you your tool and your little thing.
Now about the eggs, crack the eggs and use the whites in a leaking radiator
and the leak stops.
BTW if the stake does not work I understand Garlic or a Silver bullet will
do. <grin>

John and other poor souls who do not know what staked means... It is a
little known british technical term meaning beat the heck out of any
metal even close to the part you wish to keep in place!
So... looking up into the little empty hole that the valve fell out of
I could see signs of ancient staking which failed, letting my oil
pressure relief valve fall into the pot of old oil. As soon as I
discovered what the heck staking was ... AND which way the valve was
to be restaked... I hit a screw driver with my trusty staking hammer
thus making the all important staking bends in the surounding metal
thus holding the valve in until... well I don't know how long a stake
holds ???
So what does staked mean, and how do you restake the valve.
I'd have though that you probably might want to use a wood stake
to restake it, just in case. :) ASH???
Or is it a verb, like I was staked for breakfast? You know
stake and eggs.
John
