building a press

[mattsaggus]

Hi all
      The pushing out of jawa big end pins is a bit of a job, i buckled my 25 ton press doing the last and that was only maintenence, not a seize.
What capacity press do you think i need to make to push out stubborn pins?

Cheers Matt.S.

 The force needed is dependant on the interference fit beteween the crank pin and the crank pin bore. What temp do you get the webs to before starting to press?

[Freakshow]

Do you freeze webs before you press in ?

[matcho mick]

no  freaky,freeze pin going in,my matcho crank has jawa pin,neb rod,went in with nitrogen the 1st time,(overkill i thought ),poofter to get out but

[Freakshow]

so you heat the webs then ?

[Lozza]

See if you can work it out

Just like the constipated mathematician.
Had to work it out with a pencil.

[Freakshow]

well if you think about it if  you heat something expands so why doenst the hole enlarge and close up ? which sends you into having to shring the other in side. 

if you just froze the first part then why do you need to do the other ? lawance all you asked was what temp was his webs > seems arse about.

we freeze bearings yet we heat barrels - i think we should just beat the crap out of everything with a hammer , to make it all simpler.

some people just shouldn't own tools not even just a hammer,leave it to the people that KNOW how to and how the right tools to match their knowlage,way cheeper

Heating and freezing is all well and good in assembly but my main concern is disassembley of a seized big end.

I used a friends 100 tonne press which obviously did the job, but it had no gauge to tell me pressure exerted to push it through.

Heat and freeze fits are always fun, the bastard either drops straight out the far side or gets stuck half way.
