1st HAM(me)OM for ONSC - Page 2

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 11:41 AM

Maybe we all should go to that big daddy off road thingy...and then plan the HAMOM on the next weekend....Chad and Carlos...do you guys want to rather go to that event???

flounder · 06-06-06, 01:02 PM

We can try and change it to the next weekend, i just want to put this clutch in so I can drive further than a 5 miles radius

This HAMOM is not going so well and I have a feeling it's not gonna pan out anyhow. If it doesn't get going soon (more interest involved), I'll just order the parts and attempt it on my own next Saturday

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 01:36 PM

Well this is the way I see it...Some of the people were talking about going to the big daddy thing before we posted the HAMOM...can not we change the HAMOM to June 17th??

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 01:46 PM

Well if you still want to have it on that date you can still count on me on comming....but it would be cool if you could change it to the 17th

flounder · 06-06-06, 01:49 PM

I was going to do the 17th or any date for that matter but nobody chimed in with a peference. Plus fathers day is the next day and people might have plans with family in town or something. I don't care when we have it, we can do it later this afternoon

erymer · 06-06-06, 02:18 PM

well the wife and I would love to help. We had been planning the BDOR for a while and are meeting several people there. That being said, if it was on the following Sunday, or something we can definately help. The inlaws are coming in for Fathers day and we are building an addition to the garage....need more parking space. Like I said though, we definately want to help and do this more often. It's a great idea.

mtweller · 06-06-06, 02:32 PM

June is always a tough month to get people together on the weekends. Between weddings and Father's Day, vacation, and now the bdor thing. I feel your pain flounder, you want to get that rig up and running. You will only need 1 or 2 more people for a clutch, so don't sweat it. I think the HAMOM is an excellent idea...I would love to get on the list for the coming months myself for my Saginaw conversion.

As far as my attending, I can come for a while in the morning of 24th (wedding in the PM), but no-can-do Father's Day weekend.

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 02:37 PM

OK any date is cool with me...really I am flexible...I do not have any family, kids or any one for that matter..LOL (well my wife and Dog) So Chad...just tell me when I need to come down your place and get this done.

southerncruiser62 · 06-06-06, 02:48 PM

Chad, Juan, let me kow the date and i will be around for it.

k_os · 06-06-06, 03:20 PM

Either weekend is fine with me. I was wondering if the venders at the big daddy vendors had stuff for discounted prices? If they do I'll show up. Is there going to be any 4wheeling done at this event? If a bunch of us go to BigDaddy's would you guys wanna meet up and caravan on the way there?

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 04:28 PM

I'll be going to big daddys depending on what date chad schedules the hamom...if it is on the same date I would rather go and help chad..

So speak up chad!!

flounder · 06-06-06, 06:03 PM

just forget it, this is a pain in the ass, I'll take my toys and go home

If everybody wants to do the BDOF thing, that is cool with me. I don't think I will be able to make it but I might jump in with somebody at the last minute if I can get me kitchen pass

If you guys want to, I'll get the parts together and we (Me, Greg, Juan, Carlos? and whoever can stop by) put the clutch in next weekend (not this coming weekend). I'll get the flywheel out this weekend so I can get it surfaced and ready to go back in. We can also do a little work on anybidy elses rig if they. Not sure if Greg is done yet with his. Regardless, we can get the clutch in, maybe the HEI, and drink a beer or two and have some burgers or something. Maybe we can figure out what the hell is wrong with my Disco too

Anyways, I'll plan on doing the clutch that weekend and whoever can make it is welcome to come.

This also brings us to the next HAMOM candidate, so post up your nominations and weekend that works for everybody

worldcruiser · 06-06-06, 07:12 PM

Cool deal so it is the 24th correct???

flounder · 06-07-06, 03:58 AM

we'll do the clutch on the 17th

worldcruiser · 06-07-06, 07:06 AM

Ok Great so the 17th then....count me in buddy!!!

k_os · 06-07-06, 03:36 PM

same here.. unless something weird comes up

worldcruiser · 06-07-06, 07:23 PM

cool

worldcruiser · 06-15-06, 07:21 PM

so everything is ready to get that clutch put on this weekend
?

flounder · 06-16-06, 04:50 AM

Everything is here and ready to go.

Need to get some tranny fluid and we should be ready to go.

I can't find a pilot bearing puller though, - any idea where to rent one? Napa didn't have any and neither did pepboys.

Need to get a few things at Wally though, spare rags, coolant for the radiator. Gonna do some prep work tonight.

Who's coming? Need to get a head count so I got enough burgers and dogs.

Just make sure you have a dremel on hand with a cutoff wheel and a small cold chisel. I've used all kinds of stuff to get them out. Last time was the end of a 3/8 ratchet. It just fit in and had a little taper to it I beat the other end with a deadblow. It came right out. I've never had sucsess with packing grease and a dowel. It always blew out the sides of the bearing.

worldcruiser · 06-16-06, 08:29 AM

Chad I will get the bearing puller for ya...I never had luck with the grease packing trick either.
Bytheway...you do not need tranny fluid...you need 90wt gear oil....

flounder · 06-16-06, 09:43 AM

UPDATE!!!

Got the bearing puller.

Will get the Gear Oil and hoses on the way home

WE WILL WORK ON THIS TONIGHT - not tomorrow!!!

Hope to finish this tonight. Everybody is welcome over. Burgers and dogs and chips.

Me and Juan will be there, anybody else?

k_os · 06-16-06, 05:46 PM

I would.. if I had a car.. a TAxi to leesville road is just damn expensive.

and If I hadn't gotten surgery today..

flounder · 06-16-06, 09:33 PM

Carlos - don't sweat it. We didn't get too far....we ran out of rear main seals

Hope everything went alright!

krzyabncanuck · 06-17-06, 06:25 AM

How many seals did you use ?

flounder · 06-17-06, 08:16 AM

We went through two. One we could have left in and it would have been fine i think but i'd rather get one in there 100% right rather than have to pull everything later.

krzyabncanuck · 06-17-06, 09:02 PM

Thats why i usually have about 3 on hand when i do them.
