The Stovebolt Site Forums Project Journals Archived Journals 1954 Chevy 3100

Got the last bolt out last night. Thanks to Hotrod for the suggestion to use a wood dowel in the pilot bearing hole for the flywheel when it came loose. Took five minutes with a rubber mallet to ease it off and let it sit overnight because I was tired and didn’t want any mistakes.

This morning I moved the jack under the flywheel and lifted it a bit and took the dowel out. Lowered it to the ground and let it fall on the cardboard I had there.

So it’s off to the machine shop this afternoon.

Have other tasks to get back to while waiting on it to get done. Need to remove the sending unit and replace it with one I tested to be sure it worked. I didn’t have a VOM when I put the first one in. Hope this solves the gas gauge not working problem.

Also found the source of the break fluid leak. Will do that next.
