Malleus
Far west of Siegen
I thought I'd seen all the problems on these trucks, but I was wrong.
How do you get the speedo gear seal out of the sleeve without scarring the bore? I hacked a mini hooked pick short enough to get into the bore, but it only scarred the inner bore of the seal and pulled out the garter spring.
The far end of the sleeve is too small and too far away to get a tool in from that end to drive the seal out. Mine is either old and hard or pressed in tighter than Dick's hat band, or both, an I can't see getting it out without damaging the bore it's supposed to seal in.
The FSM makes it look so easy...
The school solution is to use one of these, but I can't see them working either:
A new sleeve is around $20, so I may just replace it. I hate being beaten by a poor design.
