brian1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share I built a service stand on Sat, 2 pieces of 15mm galvanized plumbing pipe, R 49 each, 1 15mm elbow, R7 and 1 15mm straight connector R4. The clamp is a trigger clamp, Tool Craft R69 from Chamberlains. Cut one pipe to 45cm and 55cm lengths, connected the 55cm to the 1m pipe and to the elbow, then 45cm to elbow for horizontal piece. Attaching the clamp to the pipe, I expected some issues but the shaft of the clamp fits snug into the pipe, lucky, needed to tap it home to the required length with a rubber mallet. Then I secured the foot with a bit of wood to the workbench with a 22mm hole that the outside diameter of the pipe fits into snug for stability, drilled through the worktop for top stability.Took another bit of wood, rasped a 5mm groove into it and pushed it onto the shaft of the clamp. Secured with cable ties, wrapped it all with an old tube and voila service stand.Drilled a 22mm hole in the deck and it doubles as a wash and lubrication stand.The horizontal to the elbow and the pipe to connector on one side is hand tight for easy assembly and removal, but the threads are plenty long enough for strength. it's not like we are dealing with anything too heavy here now is it?

ValeYellow Posted January 21, 2014 Share for what its worth, this is one of those tools to remove the oil filter from a car. Cost a whole R50 from the local Midas, works like a charm Edited January 21, 2014 by ValeYellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeYellow Posted January 22, 2014 Share Nice! but someone posted here i think, flat iron with hole drilled through, and an old chain. Too works like a charmyeah i did see that, just thought that for those of us that dont have a spare chain or piece of flat bar lying around, this is a good alternative - now although I do undertake 99% of the work required on my bike, as well as my car myself, i oddly dont have either lying about Edited January 22, 2014 by ValeYellow Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Meezo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted January 22, 2014 Share yeah i did see that, just thought that for those of us that dont have a spare chain or piece of flat bar lying around, this is a good alternative - now although I do undertake 99% of the work required on my bike, as well as my car myself, i oddly dont have either lying about I dont either Amazing tho that the same tool required for both car and bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValeYellow Posted January 22, 2014 Share I dont either Amazing tho that the same tool required for both car and bikewhat boggles me is the difference in price for ultimately the exact same thing Edited January 22, 2014 by ValeYellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durbanjacques Posted May 7, 2014 Share I have a couple of km's on my current Shimano press fit BB and I cant be bothered to spend R500+ on a bearing puller which will sit in my tool box for ages before I can use it again, so I went looking for another solution to the problem and came up with this. Its in Spanish (I think) but you get the idea. This has made me wonder though what other home made tools do the rest of you use? http://youtu.be/vHN3KUImeZQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azza Posted May 7, 2014 Share Instead of going out and buying a chain whip I just cable tie the chain gently to the rim of the wheel, and all is good Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
