Could try heating it. The old grease might be hard and some heat may soften it.

When I had the Le Car, it was probably in the middle 1980's. It also needed new front brakes. I bought rotors, pads, spark plugs, cap, rotor and points from JC Whitney. It came to around $40. Kept the car a couple years. it got 50 mpg, and was the first front wheel car I ever had. Never had any...

I read up on grease dripping, it told me that grease is just oil with clay added to thicken it. Sitting around, the oil separates and drips out, leaving the thick clay behind. The only thing I have that even needs greasing, is our riding mower. Two kingpins, and two spindles.

Many years ago I had a Renault Le Car and one of the front axels went out. I called a wrecking yard that I used to frequent, and they said a used one is $100, I thought that was a lot. So I called the local Renault dealer, a new one was $90. I called the yard back and told him that, and would he...

Fit something like this

Reminds me of splines on a steering column. Maybe could turn the shaft after the steering wheel is removed.

I use a torch tip cleaner to poke out the jets

See if they will spread some calcium chloride on the patch. The cc will absorb moisture out of the air, and keep the patch damp. It helps a lot with dust.

2002 Buck 110 automatic knife and leather sheath. The tip of the blade is broken off. Works well.

My set goes down to 4mm. Don't think I ever used that socket

Modern Craftsman Series (generally 1947 and later, some exceptions): AZ-circle = J.H. Williams & Co, ca. 1955 - 1967 BF = probably Daido, possibly KTC, Japanese made, ca 1969 - 1987 C = likely Crescent division of Cooper Industries, ca. 1964 - 1973 C = Stanley Works, Taiwanese made, ca. ? -...

If you absolutely cannot find a replacement, you could drain the oil and just pack the gears with grease.

This was in with some other old sockets, 3/8" drive

I mix half flour and half plaster of paris, put it a little dish. The rodents eat that and die later when the plaster sets up in their stomach. Not dangerous if an animal eats the dead mouse later.

I rented a floor sander two different times, no problems at all.

To select the correct case gasket, you would want to first assemble it without any gasket, and measure the crank end play. A dial indicator is the easiest, but a feeler gauge can also be used with a little thinking. After you get the side play figure, you would want to use a gasket that will put...

I have made many, many gaskets out of cereal boxes. Even when I had some rolled up gasket material, it was hard to get it to lay flat to work with.

There's always this.

I would coat the bottom edge and up a few inches on both sides with linseed oil. After it dries, it can be painted, later on.
