Need A Pair Of Hands...

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by bradders, Oct 14, 2015.

  1. disadvantage of moving miles is that I have no one to come give me a hand when I need one

    I need to drop the engine from my gixer but need a second pair of hands so it doesnt drop off the bench, it is not a rolling chassis so camt just drop on tyres or soft surface on the floor

    Coffee and bacon sarnie or pizza to anyone who can come help one night next week :upyeah:

  5. Screw a couple of eye-bolts into the ceiling, and run a ratchet-strap from there down to support the weight of the engine. Just a suggestion.

  6. Mrs Bradders will go mad if he screws eye bolts into the living room ceiling.

  7. Milk crates are the answer, Archimedes and his lever and fulcrum positioning.

  13. You're not wrong :Facepalm:

    From what i'm seeing, am i right in that you effectively want to get the engine onto a base and lift the frame away from it?!?

  14. Kind of, yep, lower engine away rather than leave insitu and lift frame. Only becazue I dont think I have room or anything to use that would hold engine when unbolted. May change when I do it, as I'll create more space around it so ladder and trolley jack may be the ticket
