Generator Fix

Generator Fix (Oil leaking from generator.)

by Paul Rako

	It's scary putting channel locks on a gear but that's the only way I have been able to do it all these years. Nut is conventional right hand thread. Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW. Take generator to qualified service personnel. You will only strip the threads as you turn the nut the wrong way using a half inch drive impact wrench on 200 PSI air line.
	A cheap Taiwan puller is all you need to get the gear off. Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW. Take generator to qualified service personnel. You will only destroy the delicate tin cover behind the gear when you try to pry the gear off with a tire iron.
	If you want professional results act like a professional. Have a tray or a pie tin or a mayonnaise jar but at least put all the parts in one place so you have some chance of reassembling the generator. Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW. Take generator to qualified service personnel. You will only forget about the generator and end up taking apart the washing machine as you look for a pie tin. It will suddenly be 8:00 AM and you will neither have clean clothes nor a functioning motorcycle in order to get to work.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape. We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box. (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages. Minimal graphics and no audio without request. Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content. We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad. We believe engineering and technology are an art. Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking. Feel free to use the files and materials on this site. Good luck with your projects.
