August 28, 201115 yr comment_549589 Hello kind patrons of Rollaclub :) Does anyone around the Blackwood-ish area have a rattle gun that I could borrow or make use of? I need to get some inserts out of some struts and they're spinning. I'm hoping to find someone close-ish. Quite willing to bring struts to you if you're not happy to let tools out (which I totally understand)! I want to clean up the struts and might need to visit again to do the nuts up afterwards? Cheers all! Mike Report
August 28, 201115 yr comment_549591 hey mate. what's your address pm if you don't wanna be public. I can bring mine around one arvo probably. you got a compressor and spare air fittings mine might not fit on yours. Report
August 28, 201115 yr comment_549624 that's probably a way better idea ^^^^ I only got a little 3/8 electric one not sure how it'd go for what you need. Report
August 28, 201115 yr comment_549633 the way I did it was use some thick cloth and a pair of multi grips, left no mark on the shock at all... Edited August 28, 201115 yr by Tally Report
August 28, 201115 yr Author comment_549709 You guys are awesome! Actually, that raises a good point. I don't actually care about the shocks coming out, so it doesn't matter if bugger the shafts. Do you need a rattle gun to tighten them sufficiently when you put them back in? Report
August 28, 201115 yr comment_549716 I usually rattle gun the shocker nut when I'm putting struts together, one of many nuts/bolts you don't want coming undone. Edited August 28, 201115 yr by SLO-030 Report
August 28, 201115 yr comment_549724 actually I think you shouldn't use a rattle gun, rattle gun should only be used on wheel nuts in my opinion... everything else, torque wrench and the normal socket rachet wrench Edited August 28, 201115 yr by Tally Report
August 30, 201115 yr comment_550230 I would never use a rattle gun on wheels, especially alloy wheels. Anyways, Mike, if you still need one, Just shoot me a PM Report
August 31, 201115 yr Author comment_550308 Cheers buddy! I've got hold of some vice grips, so I'll give them a shot. Turns out my brother has one so I might be able to commandeer that. I never suspected a cabby would need a rattle gun, but he's got one :) If it doesn't work out I'll get in touch. Report
September 3, 201115 yr Author comment_551148 Vice grips were crap, but I worked something else out. One strut is apart, other soon unless someone can urgently lend me some spare time :) Thanks folks! Report
