BMW Steering wheel - Before & After Cleaning
 |
| As purchased. Not too bad a condition; just a little dirty and missing the center emblem |
 |
| Popped out all the horn buttons to clean inside. |
 |
| After cleaning. The picture doesn't really show much of a difference. |
 |
| Already had a center emblem. Popped it in. Looks good. |
Kitchen Faucet Repair - LH (Hot) Side - Saturday, March 9, 2019
 |
| Didn't take many pictures. The kitchen faucet has been dripping for quite awhile. Finally got around to try and fix it this weekend... |
 |
| The washer between the nut and the metal cup (with the seal in it) completely rusted away. Went to B&B Hardware (on Washington Place) to get a replacement rubber seal. The hole in the middle of the seal didn't match so I had to drill it out to the larger hole diameter. Also, with the new rubber seal, the nut was very difficult to put back on because the seal was a little thicker than the original. Was quite an ordeal to get it all to go back together. After I put everything back together, the faucet still dripped but very little. The seal may need a little bit of time to "seat" itself. I'll replace the RH side (cold) seal tomorrow and see if the dripping stops... |

Willow Springs, Sunrise & Long Beach Swap Meet -- Sunday, March 10, 2019
 |
| Didn't know about this event. Looks like it could be fun to attend... |
 |
| Someone was asking almost $19,000 for this pretty poor condition 914 (rust holes in the quarter panels). This to me is a $5,000 car, at most... |
Fixed the Gate to the back yard
 |
| Added a reinforcement behind the bottom of the gate. Two of the slats had broken off and one was about to fall off... (didn't take a picture before the repair...) |
 |
| Used a piece of pressure treated wood. Drilled vertical holes through the lower stile & used lag-bolts to hold it all together. Should last a few more years. The gate wood is getting pretty rotten so at some point will have to build new gates... |
(3) Schwinn Approved Road Bike Wheel Hub - Made in France - Clean balls & final reassembly
 |
| Need to clean the old grease off the ball bearings |
 |
| All parts are clean and ready for assembly |
 |
| Grease first applied to the bearing race |
 |
| Now the balls will stay in place when located on the race (on both ends) |
 |
| Install the shaft & the outer bearing race (the part with the flats on it) |
 |
| Then a washer (with a notch so that it doesn't rotate) |
 |
| Then the nut to lock the outer bearing race in place to keep the right amount of play around the bearings. |
 |
| Done (nuts on the outside are for installation on the bike |
