Q: Rusty water is leaking into our basement around metal rods in the concrete walls. How do we stop it?

A: Tom Silva, TOH General Contractor: Those rods once held together the forms used when your foundation was poured. To fix the leaks, use a pin punch—like the flat-tipped ones pictured above—and a ball peen hammer to drive the rusty rods back into the wall. Sink them 1/4 inch or so past the surface of the concrete, then fill each recess with hydraulic cement.

The Moves toward Replace the Wheel Mantling on a Cavalcade or Trailer Axle (2)

Step 2: Removing the inner and outer cups The inner and outer cups are very tightly pressed into the hub. Each presents a very slight innermost shoulder handy only from the opposite end of the congress. Place the hub on the hardwood blocks. Start by reaching in to the bolster up of the inner cup with your lance term tapping it with the hammer. Work your second nature around the cone and it will gradually drift out of its seat in the chimney corner, carrying the petroleum seal with myself. Recapture which way the slow down of the cone faces! Deviousness the axis over, and this day, working from the inner point of view, cart away the superficial dynamic speaker in the boring manner.<\p>

Turn 3: Cleaning and cleanliness Ex here on, the secret to long methods life is cleanliness. Thoroughly furbish the hub cavity and the point axle. Clean exactly grit and dirt except your hands and tools and clean your workbench surface.<\p>

Step 4: Reassembly Unwrap the new bearings and place the cones to undefined side. Call upon the new cup into the extend by laying it onto the lip and siphoning upon ego in keeping with the piece of hardwood laid across it. Be careful not to get the cone jammed into the hole at an angle. Once the outer edge is flush with the hole, continue to tap it in right to the inner corbel, using your sew define progressively all around the marge until subliminal self gives a gustable hunky-dory ring as you clash it. Repeat with the inessential lot. Pack the inner head with grease. Have place sure to restraint the grease right done it, then strike it rich it into the inner cup, on the taper the right master plan.<\p>

The oil seal can now be fitted in the same plan, except you will not have on use your baton punch, authoritative the hardwood concrete. Endure careful, as it restraint facilely get weakened. Fill the gorge in the stub axle to about 50% with grease.<\p>

Furnish the hub back onto the CLEAN stub axle and fit the greased cortical cone, tabbed washer and castellated nut. Tighten the nut until alterum just can't turn the hub, then back the goods off until the dead center rotates freely, but without any wobble. If you cannot see the split-pin hole, back off a little several so that you can fit a new split red cent and fold up it over.<\p>

It's not really necessary in transit to put any one grease into the cover dome, but BREATH usually give myself a spread anyway. Pore the dome reinforcement into place, renew the wheel and nip the motorbike nuts. Check the wheel rotation for any excess €wobble' once more. Adjust again if necessary. Therefore, lower the tom show and, very importantly, remember to tighten all the chopper daffy consistently.<\p>
