Yeah, put a puller on it and put as much pressure as you can. (use a cheater bar if you need to) If it still doesn't come off, smack it with a sledge when you've got maximum puller pressure on it. Keep doing that. It will eventually come off...

If you've got the shroud off, you may as well cut it in my opinion.. it really aids any tasks/inspections/work to do with belts, water pump, fan, viscous hub. Especially if you're trackside and its hot, dusty and there's a million flies around. I...

Nice touch

Pretty sure I did mine right across the middle. It’s a horizontal cut (not vertical)… you’ll have no issues clearing hoses. I can shoot you a photo tomorrow if you need. Heading to bed now.

Is there an optimal “cut line” to clear hoses and such? Or is right down the middle good enough?

That’s nothing. Be happy it’s not worse. Hahaha. Someone will toss some suggestions. Or use the drop down search.

So took it back apart. Ran a skewer through the body. It’s not a very clean design. Anyhow, greased it prior to reassembly just to confirm it goes to all four corners, but it still was really weak into one corner. But I put it together...

It’s still on the bench. I guess the easiest would be to take it all apart. Of course, I just ran out of grease.... wish these tubes had sight glass or something 🤬

The grease needs ooze like that when pressurized by a gun from all four pivots. Try some fast pumps to maybe clear whatever's blocking the flow, otherwise take it apart and find the problem. Or maybe drive it around the block and try greasing it...

Went with the Amazon basics “dynamat” clone. Decent price and made a big difference. Can’t tell if it’s better/worse than the name brand stuff but used a box under the new carpet kit. Would guess slightly less for roof.

Best sound deadening I did on my 62 was adding an amp and subwoofer. Zero road noise now.

Well I just discovered the sound deadening article in the FAQ and that is going to be very helpful!!!!!

Ian, I just looked back through your post. This is fantastic. Short and sweet. You pointed out the spot I’m still pondering which is the A pillar. Slow and steady since there is very little space. Appreciate sharing.

Be sure to read converter and encapsulator primers instructions because some will promote rust on clean bare metal (paint manufacturer engineer specifically responded to this question in email). I used Eastwoods, also on frame is can of $5 paint...

Haha that's hilarious. That's not me! Which Facebook group is it on??
