  2. rsweeney

    finger tight ? the wheel was well loose so i just used a bar to tighten it on is this not right ?

    yeah i have changed them , is the best thing to do to take front end off and properly investigate it ? it only leaks when it starts and it comes out like a wave - spent another £25 on oil to have it come gushing out again !

    sorry guys but i cant find help anywhere so trying here, just replacing the rear wheel bearings on my renault 5. wheel bearing has been pressed into the brake drum but the brake drum wont slide back onto the axle. i have used a small sledge hammer and wood so far the hub nut fits on so i guess i could tighten it to press the drum further on but wouild this damage the bearings as it presses against them ?

    mine did this i bought two whole thermostat housings with all the seals but it was still leaking. then i changed to jubilee clips and it stopped so try jubilee clips and use gasket sealent on seals

    ok will have to see about borrowing the 150. any tips when welding on the vr6 floor ? its near the drivers seat and so i dont want to interfear with the seat stucture.- how do i do this ? do i cut bad metal from underneath or top ? thanks
  23. rsweeney
    ok will check gas . is this MIG 130 going to be strong enough for doing floor pans etc or not? might be able to borrow a MIG 150
  24. rsweeney
    sorry guys just realised that the little screw that press's against the wire when its being fed through hadnt been done up! it seems to be fine now but spluttering, it is stronger though. practise was on an old pair of metal cutters , very poor i know !
  25. rsweeney
    hi just been paractising MIG welding with a mighty mig 130. the weld is really weak , i can pull the two bits of metal apart with my hands. why is this , is it just not a very strong welder or am i missing something ? im confused as i thought it would be stronger than this ?
