I just gotta ask....I cleaned my balls!
Such exciting topics! I just had to add my nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat information for my incredible task today. =p
I finally did my post-winter ball mount maintenance. The French-Canadian AMPLock opened without any issues (phew!) and had no rust on the locking part of the pin or inside the lock itself. There was light rusting on the key cylinder and outer edge of the body. The silicone cap did a great job but also held a little dirt in moisture causing minor rust.
The three stainless pins for the Tow & Stow itself came out easily and did have minor rusting. I probably should have used a Scotch-Brite sanding pad to knock it off but I was to lazy to go get it. The paper towel with ethanol got much of it off. I also ran the paper towel into the edge of the holes to clean out minor grit. It was pretty clean and I always blast it with the pressure washer.
I also carry a spare set of those three pins in case some crackhead steals them ... =(
I couldn't find my white lithium grease so I used an ancient tube of "extra special" bike grease. Seems like it should be an okay choice. I only put a thin film on, I don't want to give dirt too many places to stick.
Last step was to polish my balls. It always makes me feel good to buff them and make them shiny for everyone to see. =D
love this little Freight Harbor stool, such a back saver! =)
not bad for a year
pleased that it opened easily - lock made by poutine-eating frogs - my kinsman
I wiped this down to leave a thin film
tiny bit of surface rust
lube it and move it in and out a few times, then wipe off excess - priceless life advice
a beat at the bottom of the cap
nifty 25 year old little applicator
wow, trilinium! it must be awesome! =p
woot, this is enough work to make me feel like I've accomplished great things today =D
I did ethanol wipe off the grease on the bumper, I could see myself busting my a$$ on it
I'm a little confused why you don't just hang your balls on a nail in the garage when you're not using them. Keeps them shiny without all the extra grease and rubbing
?Shush You!!
No Hemi. But it still went pretty darn good, a lot better than I expected.
This is my first time driving one since the 80's. lol I have to admit it was a nice car and pretty comfortable inside too. Even though it didn't have a Hemi it still had some punch to it. I hit triple digits a few times coming home and once you're up in the rpm's and nail it it takes off from there. ?
Yeah, like basically every passenger vehicle in the last fifty years.
I don't recall any of my previous vehicles having such soft engine mounts but do go on lol.
Sure….tell it to your granny!Damn....forgot I might be judged on my parking ability......just stopped real quick to take a pic and forgot about "The Lines"
