removing spindle cap

처리 내용

I'm going to summarize. Use the following tools to remove the pressed on cap. You will want to go slow, take your time. Get a comfortable stool (or tire!) to sit on. Don't rush it. Start with a 1" wide, thick blade paint scraper. (Oops.. these are actually called putty knives, not paint scrapers...) Best are the cheap ones in which the handle is riveted on, and the steel runs the length of the handle. Place the sharp edge of the paint scraper in the slight gap between the cast iron housing and the cap. The bevel should be facing you, the flat side against the housing. Tap straight down into the gap. Tap, spin the drum a bit, tap again. repeat. The goal with this tool is to enlarge the gap between the housing and the cap from zero to 1/16" of an inch or so. Switch over to the cold chisel. Tap again to enlarge the gap from 1/16" until the part comes free. Again, be careful, go slow.
