Default Re: Standard Beam Approach - Rebuild update

Hi

Cleaning up is going nicely - see pics. When trying to remove the bumpy corrosion off of the aluminium 'cans' I found that very sandpaper left fine 'lines' in the aluminium, while a soft 'sanding sheet' of the type where the abrasive is stuck to a sponge sheet was perfect leaving no marks and acting very quickly. Great stuff.

I'd like to pick your collective brains with regard to disconnecting the bellows flexible coupling (see pic) It looks like there are two tapered pins hammered into the two holes in each end of the bellows. My question is - how do you remove the pins? Press them out somehow? Hammer them out? Something else?

Cheers
James
