Removing a stubborn fixed cup...MiamiJim's technique:
This is the poor mans version of the Stein tool. For those of you not familiar with it, the Stein tool holds a fix cup tool in place. It has 2 unique features, first is its abilty to anchor onto both nutted and bolt style spindles and its second feature is a threaded collar to compensate for different axle lengths.
Step 1: Picture 1. Loosen the adjustable cup a touch Step 2: Picture 2. Place dedicated fixed cup tool onto fixed cup Step 3: Picture 3. Place large washer over spindle. Washer must be a large enough diameter to cover the fixed cup. I use a 2" diameter washer. Step 4: Picture 4. Stack smaller washers on top of larger washer. Use enough washers to cover the end of the square taper. I use 1 3/4" washers. Step 5: Picture 5. Secure washers in place with either the spindle nut or bolt Step 6: Picture 6. Apply torque. For this cup I used a size 10 1/2. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/DSC02741.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/DSC02742.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/DSC02743.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...DSC02745-1.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...DSC02746-1.jpg http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...7/DSC02747.jpg |

you think that is funny you should see the cheater bar on my fixed cup wrench.
thanks miami, I have been trying to think of the company that made that tool for weeks. |
I wish I had a 34mm wrench to remove the friggin' fixed cup on my itty bitty Moto.
I'll keep this in mind when I do need something like this. -Gene- |
Can I send you a Cilo with the R cup "fixed"? I really need it off.
|
Can I assume that the fixed cup in picture six is not a British threaded cup with left hand threads?
|
Nice, thanks for that tip! I've yet to encounter a fixed cup that is unmoved by my mighty bench vise though...
|
That's a sweet looking car you have there Jim.

Probably a good method for installing the cups on italian threaded BB as well (and course french too I guess) in order to tighten them down good without the wrench slipping and busting your knuckles on something that your BB doesnt work loose 10kms down the road.

I wish I would've see this about an hour ago. I just got done struggling to keep the tool on with this setup attached below. Good tip for future reference.

This may be a stretch, but I'm going to guess French. Also, why does the lock ring on the other side have to be loosened?
