Comment on How to Replace a 98 VW Golf Front Bearing by Alan Lilly

The axle doesn’t get any lateral pressure. The puller bolt pushes on the end of the axle while the outer part of the tool “pulls” the hub off. There is no other practical way to pull the hub off the axle. If you try to pull the hub without such a tool …. you could cause damage to your axle. The end of the axle is splined and the hub can only be removed or installed with the proper tool. DO NOT USE A HAMMER!

Do I take it right that you pull the hub from the knuckle effectively by pushing the axle with the puller bolt? Does not seem like a very good idea to me – the axle was probably not designed to sustain such pressure in that direction.

Hey, Great videos you’ve got here on your site. I saw this for the first time today and I’ve already got a little motor on order for my old mountain bike…

This is just hilarious!

I bolted the hoist to the large board first… then the large board is bolted to multiple joists… the idea is to distribute the load across multiple joists. You can see more detail by watching the video at the bottom of my online portfolio…. http://panofish.net/portfolio/

Did you bolt the red housing to the wood “box” that you made? If so did you purchase some other longer bolts to go through the wood housing and into the red one for the hoist?

I would mount a long 1×6 across the ceiling joists with lag bolts (distributing the load) and close to the wall. Just be sure that your wall can handle the load for your trailer.

Alan, I am thinking of doing something similar in my garage. I want to mount a HF electric hoist on the wall and pull up a trailer on its end for storage. I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to mount the hoist to the wall securely? Thanks

Comment on Building a Shed under a Deck by Andy

Great job! I have a similar situation but my deck is not square, but has a extension towards the back of the wall and unfortunately the deck was already built before we moved in. I am thinking about modifying your roof idea so I do not have to take up deck boards. If you happen to have any plans you can send me let me know and I will provide my email. Thanks Andy
