I need to clock the steel tube to clear the trunk.
I'm guessing it's pressed into heated aluminum, maybe with a lube that turns into a glue? Anyone know for sure? @Superhawk996 maybe? I have a 1500F heat gun to work with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1677898518.1.jpg) |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Mar 9 2023, 08:03 PM)  So you were able to rotate it in place? Yep. Got the joint area about 180f per the temp gun, decided to try it and around it went. Cooled down to about 120f and it was stuck again. Kinda concerning because the engine likes to be at 215f.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Another one of those things it would have been nice to know 20 years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
