Gentle heat applied the axle wheel hub should release the loctite so you can pull wheel off

"on a journey, life chances,going forward etc, and all the people on tv interviews by zoom etc who park themselves in front of bookcases with a million books they have probably never read, is this to show that they must be much wiser than the peasantry?

Torque?? You would need a torque wrench to measure torque applied, why? In my mid seventies I just tighten by hand and have never had a cutter slip.Its a fair question but sometimes I think it's to easy to make things more complicated than they need to be

Ordered some steel material, owing to diminishing brain cells managed to select the most expensive delivery option, e mailed Joe and within the hour he came back and sorted a more economical option for me.

Thankyou Joe and worthy of a heads up

Our doctors surgery has just closed down and locked it's doors we can only go if invited by the surgery so seems 111 or 999 is the only option

I no longer listen or watch MSM, I am just totally fed up of the doom and gloom being broadcast its getting quite alarming, no wonder people are worried sick, the Zombie apocalypse is upon us. My Wife and I are in our mid 70's with the ailments we expect at our age so we are apparently both doomed, I wonder if we are being distracted from other stuff that is happening,who knows.This will run it's course and perhaps we will emerge the other end a bit wiser, I am off to my workshop

As I remember in the Queen's Navy "Scantlings" were used when measurements were considered, and thickness of steel plate was measured in pounds weight, eg a 12" x12" x1" thick weighed 40 lbs,1/2" thick 20lbs,1/8" plate weighed 5lbs and so on, I only use imperial and at my age will continue to do so

Merry Christmas to everyone and best wishes for 2020
