Genius Graeme 8),

Obviously you are charging royalties of one stubby per use of these ideas  ;D ;D

The Dyna bolt is even re-useable  ;)

What's the go with the top one ?
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

The hose clamp reinforces the alloy lip as you lever out the seal ;) :).

Zip ties (look to the top of the pic) to check wheel alignment after a respoke/rebuild...

This part of a kit thing has traveled Oz with me and pulled heaps of seal out.







It is called a seal puller ;D

But saying that who does not admire ingenuity.

Thumbs up for the heat gun too Davey, very handy.
