Hey camel I'm using http://www.amprotools.net/Product_List.a...&mode=show
If I use zip ties to keep chain/cam together can they be manouvered around enough to get all the springs out or am I better off just taking the cams out?
In terms of damaging bucket bore I was going to wrap the spring compressor in a few layers of tape to keep it all shiny. For the keepers I have magnetic tipped extender tool thing and some small picks for the seals.
What easier ways? I know I could pay someone but I bought all these new tools and have to justify buying them to the missus somehow. Re why I'm changing springs it's more just a may aswell while I'm in there type of thing. It's got .388 ex cam in it and it dishes out the bucket over time. After talking to a few people it seems with stock guides or stock retainers the whole thing binds up(just) on the seals. So I have bought some of the titanium ape retainers which are slightly thinner than stock and I believe there is one or two seals leaking as I get a small amount of smoke on start up but no smoke after 20-30 seconds . So I figured given I have to take springs, retainers, keepers and seals off I may aswell put shiny new back in.only thing I don't wanna f*** with is the guides.
Oh and re: work I hear you! I'm missing my rdo Friday for training and there's no appropriate time for months to take it off. I had started to bring work home from headland with me but I have since ditched that idea and decided people can just wait.
