I want to restrip my K11 Superman. Can you tell me the does and don'ts for this project?
Thanks
Kenny

 

strip

They come apart really nice. Make sure you buy the teflon from DMPE as the sizes vary a little.
I just did my K9 and the only hard part is holding the rotors while you torque the gear bolts to 100 ft lbs.I use two guys and some prybars.

use a gear holder...Dave

 

Quick hint: BEFORE you touch anything, mark it, left gear to spline, right gear to spline, when the rotors go back in and you can't find your marks, you have done what is the biggest no-no there is.........backward rotors, motor idles nice, but don't try to step on throttle! gush........
Not me, and I'll be dead if I tell

 

Wear gloves when pulling the strip or get ready to buy one of those busted knuckle garage shirts. I made a small vice to hold my rotors when I did them if you like ill shoot some pics your way.

 

Thanks, you can send pics to kennykeller@verizon.net

 

get a rotor fixture to hold the rotors and a dual gear pulling set AND DONT PUT THE ROTORS IN BACKWARDS other than that its fairly easy

 

You could fill up a bus with the guys that have but the rotors in backwards be VERY careful. Like Meyer said mark everthing

 

Kenny,

I sent those pics to you. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

I got em, thanks. That looks easy to make.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I fell alot better about flying into this now.

 

It was very easy to make! the hard part for me on the first one was what to use for the ends of the rotors. once that was figured out it was even easier.

Enjoy and anytime.

Use parts from a gear or pulley puller, the fine threaded "pusher" and the tapered end.

 

yeah thats what i used. harbor frieght had a bunch of incomplete sets i took off there hands

 

Why not post up a picture so that we can all benefit?

 

cause i wanna sell them?????

Give me a day or two ill get some up.

bob

 

good enough.

 

gear puller and rotor holder

I was going through some boxes from the old shop and ran across our roots blower servicing tools. I put up some shots of our gear puller and rotor holder up on the equpment page. (at the bottom)

My description of how to use the puller would be better if I still had a roots blower to use it on.
