Well, kinda stumped. Wishing I had access to my old shop with a metal lathe, tormach, etc. I need to mate the motor to the U-Joint. 2 choices: 1 - Use the tranny output to the U-joint, and make the other end match the motor. All I have to do is cut the shaft into a slot. Easy. But I can't get the damned hypoid gear off. I don't have a heedruuluk press anymore. And I need to shorten it, the motor barely fits in the frame. 2 - Use the motor output, make the other end match the U-joint. It's a lot harder to cut splines, but the motor side is all done. Sadly the pump shaft is too small for the U-joint. The whole housing also needs to be cut. I can't get Option #1 to work, so, here's my plan for Option #2: [cid:[email protected]] - Chop away half the depth of the pump housing, leaving only the flange and bearing housing for the shaft that mates to the motor. Hacksaw/grinder. - Take the old pump thing (vane carrier?) that splines onto the pump shaft, grind it down to the size of the tranny shaft (might just use the motor as its own lathe)... then try to re-create the U-Joint splines with a dremel. So, all this vane carrier does is embiggen the motor shaft. - Extend the interior motor shaft splines closer to the motor with a dremel, so I can shorten things up by about an inch. It's really ghetto, but I've had it stewing for a couple weeks and it's the best I can come up with. Anyone see an easier way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
