Speeder project update...

I use Ed's Red after every session!

It's good stuff for gun cleaning.  Solvent, lubricant and good for the metal

I had some time this evening and bought a 36mm 6pt impact socket at the local auto parts store. I used my Mac Tool air impact wrench and within 3-5 burst I had the axle nut broken free.

Thank you for all the inputs fellas!

Good to hear!

Stoddard Solvent is what most garages used to use back in the days. Because of  the ingredients it was removed for use as a cleaning solvent. We used to put some ATF in it when we first changed it out for some new because it burned the back of your hands.I am a participant in a study of the  long term effects of this product for life. Testing on me is done every 5 years now. It used to be every year but as I got older and didn't die from it, they only call me in every 5 years now. They suspect that the minor "heart block" I have may have been caused from my contact with this solvent. 

I would highly recommend that you weld on some fold-out,out-riggers on your engine test stand so the whole thing doesn't tip over when you "goose" the throttle a few times.  Don't ask me how I know these things.

If you need the little piece of a VW bell housing to mount your starter up on the flywheel, let me know, I'll ship you one for the postage.............Bruce

Thank you Bruce! When I mount my first motor and get it up and running I'll send you a video!  

Your welcome.
