If his tool is set for the smaller clearance then he can set the larger clearance at the same time by having a feeler gauge between the tool and the shoe.
I am lucky to have picked up an AMMCO 1750 tool a long time ago. Even with that tool, I find it easier to set it once for the smaller clearance then use a feeler gauge to set the larger clearance.
Yikes! I just did a quick search on AMMCO 1750 and am astounded at the asking prices I am seeing. Maybe I ought to move mine out of the garage and into a safety deposit box.
Just bought one $100, did the adjustment and now? How often do you need shoes, may rent mine out,HAHA

Just a quick question, when I remove my door panels the springs had the smaller ends facing the interior, the larger ends rested against the window and door mechanisms, hummmmmmm

Read the reviews before buying one of the made in China ones from Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. Some have bad reviews, like they say you cannot shear metal thicker then 30 ga which is very thin. Do a better job as brake (bending) than shearing usually.

Yes was going to stay away from both, looking for best quality in a less expensive model,,,done mind paying 5-800 as long as it works well, getting into some replacement panels for certain makes and models, not found in today’s market, also looking to do door skins, my design gig,,,,we’ll see, thanks

I've had one for several years and have made all sorts of panels and parts with it. The width is a limiting factor, but I do mostly smaller cars. It works fine. Made in China, I think.
To both of you, What make? 30”?

Has anyone used or own one of those 3 in 1 sheet metal working machines? Shear,bend, and rolls, thinking I might look into buying one but want something worth buying,
Thanks

I like the idea of a couple of bay lights rather than a batch of four-foot strips. Especially if each one needs to be plugged in individually. Or do the 4 footers have an outlet so you can plug one to the next?
Had the electrician leave me a few plugs on the ceiling, worked out well the plugs are up high and he tied the boxes into the light switch,one switch operates all my 8 foot lights, you can also connect 8 foot sections together ( up to 3 or 4 sections with one switch,,,nice

Any reason you can’t reuse the old ones?
For what it is worth, the shims are to compensate for manufacturing/machining tolerances on the axle housing so shouldn’t change for that housing after it left the factory.
Slightly deformed but may be possible, just thought a new set would seat better,,both shims are about 1/2 the thickness of a dime, can’t that do much to limiting tolerance, if they are not used,

Thanks, just ordered inner from Then and Now, be here Wednesday, time to get cracken “ thanks again
The inner seals went well, both sides were leaking, bearings and race are in good shape, the only problem is there were 2 shims behind the race’s, does anyone know where I can find these? Thanks,

Not that big a problem as I have a seal setting tool. I replaced the bearings (two on each axle with a ridge between them). You have the inner seal, spacers, the inner bearing race, the bearings, the outer bearing race and the outer seal.

We’re they much of a problem to do, and did you have to replace bearings too, tapered shafts? Correct?, Thanks
