Guest 240 Al Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi Dave, Well, I don't mind waiting my turn, but it hacks me off that three people haven't returned the pullers! It seems to me they're taking advantage of your kindness. They are definately screwing over the other members that need to use them. Come on Guy's get those pullers back to Dave! I need to borrow one! You're holding up the program! 240 Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to see if they are still needing it. I see that you are also in Portland, I sent you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240 Al Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks Dave! I don't mind waiting my turn. Who ever is next, please chime in! There's still two more pullers out there. Looks like you're going to have to send the "Goon Squad" out and light a fire under their A$$e$ !!! 240 Al "Weight is the Enemy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chiropractor Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am still waiting (patiently), and could definitely still use the puller! Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 I am still waiting (patiently), and could definitely still use the puller! Thanks!!! Looking back through the thread it looks like your next in line. The loaner cost will still be the same $25.00. That is not a deposit, it only covers shipping both ways. With the tool you will get a pre-paid return label so all you do is put it back in the box, put the label on it and set it out for the postman. If you break it let me know and I will send out the parts to get you back in business, there is no extra charge for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have decided to offer a option to spending $25 for the loaner to ship it both ways. Don't panic I still do the loaner program. For $26.50 shipping included in the States you can buy the 1" x 12" long threaded core that is drilled and tapped for the 12-1.25mm spindle pin. The parts you need to furnish and will be cheap for you locally are a piece of 1" x 10" long galvanized (Water) or black (gas) pipe, 2 each 1" hardened washers and a 1" nut. I weld one washer to the end of the pipe but that is not needed at all. The core is the same one I use on all my pullers I sell here and on ebay. The secret to this core is the type of Helicoil I use in the end. My core failures were caused when I changed to Perma-Coil brand inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your next in line, the "The Chiropractor" went with core offer. Since your here in town if you want to pick the puller up there is no shipping involved. On another note, the second missing puller has turned up and should be heading back shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240 Al Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks Dave that's good news on both accounts. I'll be in touch! By the way, where is the third one? 240 Al "Weight is the Enemy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks Dave that's good news on both accounts. I'll be in touch!By the way, where is the third one? 240 Al "Weight is the Enemy!" If it works for you go ahead and swing by this weekend and pick up the puller. About that third one "Its long gone never to return" that is all that needs to be said in the forum. I don't want to see this turn into a witch hunt. I need to have a accurate record of the member that borrows the puller and when its back posted to the forum, that is where I was sloppy in the past. Any request to use the puller needs to be posted to the forum but personal information such as Email address, phone numbers and mailing addresses have to be done through PM.

highflyer Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'd like to get in line to use the spindle pin puller. What do I need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Both TStewart and highflyer have bought the core instead of going the loaner route. For about $6 more than the loaner cost you can have the heart of the puller. All of the pieces needed to finish the puller are available at any hardware store. Here is the parts needed info link. http://www.v8-240z.com/Files/Datsun/Spindle-Pin-Puller/Packaged%20Directions/Spindle-Pin-Puller-Parts-Needed.rtf Here are the directions that come with the tool. http://www.v8-240z.com/Files/Datsun/Spindle-Pin-Puller/Packaged%20Directions/Spreader-Drawing-2.htm http://www.v8-240z.com/Files/Datsun/Spindle-Pin-Puller/Packaged%20Directions/eBay%20Pullers.rtf http://www.v8-240z.com/Files/Datsun/Spindle-Pin-Puller/Packaged%20Directions/Puller%20Instructions.doc The loaner program is still running, I just thought I would give another option.

HLS30-08077 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 So here's a question for ALL of you. Obviously, I don't wanna wait to borrow a tool to get things done, so I sprayed the hell out of the nuts, spaces between the strut assembly and control arm and also into the lock pin area after removing it. So I removed one of the nuts, pulled the washer and rubber, then put the nut back on, slid a 12 or 13mm socket over the bolt and up against the nut. I smacked it with my BFH (Big Fricken Hammer) and it moved in about 1/4". So I backed the nut off a little and did it again. Needless to say, I used an 8" long, 3/8" rachet extension and popped it all the way out. This worked for both sides. So my question is....... Has ANYBODY ever removed their spindle pins as easy as BOTH of mine came out? Everything is Original and never removed in 34 2/3 years. Dave.

TrumpetRhapsody Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I haven't seen an original spindle pin yet, but those sure look a lot like my brand new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
