Tool for removing GasGas PV mechanism . . . Until I realised you can push it out using the rods inside it once one end cap is off the correct side

And I invested in a Rivnut tool. Which I hardly use but sometimes just the easiest solution. Damn hard not to strip the threads. Have to know when to stop unlike a pop riveter.

Damn rubber bungs keep coming off syringes, last one is knackered modern small ones now seem to use o-rings which stay put. Not seen a horse size one like that. Hmm Ali search I think.

They come in huge ssizes and yes for Horses/Cattle ask a vet..........
I used to use them for premix too but we had heaps of them then.

All I've decided I really need to buy is a mini belt sander & I'll have to incentivise myself a bit to do that for a little longer.

Ah, you wanted BIKE tools?

The only one that springs to mind is a big old spoke, with a bit of 20mm conduit tube cross-drilled and fitted under the spoke nipple.

For pulling springs off. Can't beat it.

I've got a Makita hand-held belt sander, like a wider version of that power file someone posted earlier, 25mm belts, can get belts with all sorts of aggregates, from very fine to half-bricks. Quite useful but not what I'd call indispensable.

Actually that could be an endless supply........I wonder do they still do used needle exchanges lol.
While on the subject of misuse of farm supplies I used to use docking rings for securing handgrips better than lockwire, cause it does not cut your gloves and is colour coded
I wonder if they are in a pic. (look on the ends or handlebars)
The uv gets to them after a while. I used to use them for securing tanks and for anti-vibeing bolts fairings etc as well.
the tool that is made to apply them is called an Elastrator they are used to humanly remove tails and the balls on er...young bulls and ram lambs........

Dunno. I don't use syringes anymore, I've got a pneumatic vacuum pump that does it better.

bet ya Never done a KTM 50 rear brake though Ocean.
I have to use a 2.5ml syringe for them........
The power bleeder would never fit. plus I can push the fluid through with it as well. Regardless it sure beats the old jar method.....

Yeah I've got a couple of those edges trimmed to a hook, and an ever shortening shop broom.
