There is actually already a forum that fits this. http://www.rc-hangout.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=143

If you want I can move this thread there and change the name to something appropriate for the topic of the original post? New issues/topics would get new threads in that forum. Or are you guys wanting something else for organization purposes?

Would make it easier to find stuff rather than trawling through the different topics...

I was thinking the same thing Tony, prolly have to make this thread tile a category and thread titles would be individual topics.. I guess..

Lmao... Sounds like me that Paul... This thread is a cool idea, but would it be possible to put each item in named folders so it would be easier to find the topic you need....

Usually I try to remove them straight out of the front tail box without breaking it open. I think I ended up doing something similar to your method last time I had to do it.

Or maybe not... That's physically impossible... What the hell am I remembering? Maybe I need to start drinking coffee. Maybe I need someone to follow me around and remember things for me. Maybe, just maybe... SQUIRREL!

Didn't have time to find the old bearing this morning on the way out the door, but this is how I get them off. Watch ur fingers! U can use a hammer and tap the bearing down or put ur palm on the pliers & push. Don't squeeze the pliers and grab the gear.. Just let it rest atop the bearing. But this works pretty quickly to remove them.

Open needle nose pliers and place the side of the plier arms against the bearing while the TT end is on the bench... Push hard! I usually just replace the bearings too tho.

Nice one Clay.
If possible, I always mount everything to one side of the frame, for exactly that reason.
