What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Puffwagon]

Fitted 4 new tyres to the car today. It's so smooth, you kinda forget what it's like

TI Performance posted nice and quick so my fittings are on the way. Australia Post however says my parcel has left Melbourne and is on its way to WA. Not the most direct route to Canberra.

So my wait continues [emoji23]

Haha maybe @biddie_fiddler can pick it up for you when he picks up his oil filter?!

[El Andrew]

Hahaha true!

For a ZF - is a breaker against the ground and hit the key briefly the only way to get the balancer bolt undone?

[Puffwagon]

Wurth make a stubby air rattle gun that fits in there and will undo anything. Put a breaker against the ground if you want. There's other things to do but those should cover it 

[El Andrew]

Should have clarified that by "only" I was excluding I CBF'ed options like removing the starter and locking the flex plate

My Landrover had a slow leak in the spare and in the right rear tyre. I had a spare spare tyre that wasn't on a rim so I grabbed it from the back yard. I removed the spare tyre from it's rim and the bead was rooted. That explains the slow leak! Part of the rubber had separated from the wire cord so it went in the bin pile. The valve was farked too, I grabbed it with my hand and literally ripped it out. Chucked the spare spare tyre on, new valve and it balanced up nicely. It went onto the right rear so we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.

 

The right rear that was now to become the spare, I only broke the outer bead and chucked a new valve in it. I didn't bother balancing it, if it holds air I'll balance it later.

 

Anyhow there is my latest tyre fixing escapade, broke my new bead blaster but that can be another story.

 

In other news I drove the VX super 6 out the front this arvy. It's got a broken piston and they are relatively cheap to fix. All the barra stuff is on the shelf and covered up so fixing the L67 should be easy. Haha we'll see how that goes, I've got a freshly cleaned and organised shed with some more storage so there's plenty of room for activities!

So it was tyres that was holding up all your other project stuff ahha 

[Puffwagon]

Nah being a slack arse is more like it. Actually haven't felt like going out to the shed for months until recently.
