Corghi Tyre Machine Refurb

Got a scrap tyre machine thats flood damaged so decided to rebuild it on the cheap, only cost £40 for bearings and a seal. Jobs a good-en.

Currently troubleshooting a leaky fitting maybe from the bead blaster. The nimrod who owned the machine before me had the capacitor in the bottom zip-tied to the top of the motor so it got wedged in- between the belt.

It’s amazing at how bad condition these things get in isn’t it mate 😂 and some previous bodge jobs make it difficult to rebuild them but once done they’re a really good machine 👍 good luck with yours mate 👍 cheers

The cash i could have saved over the years by having one of these! .... Just a bit jealous 😊

[@CarJunkeez]

Me too mate, I should of got one years ago 😂 and a lot tyre places don’t do a good job anyway so you need to do it again

What lube did you use on the small cylinder? Or was that just soap detergent?

[@CarJunkeez]

Hi, yes that’s correct it’s just soap detergent (washing up liquid) 👍 thanks

Nice work!

[@CarJunkeez]

Thanks mate 😃👍

Did you need to give the turntable a few wacks to release it.

[@CarJunkeez]

Certainly did mate but wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be after I seen all the crap where the nut was 😂

[@nushooz6731]

@@CarJunkeez I've undone the bolt gave mine a few wacks with a large nylon hammer but it looks like it doesn't want to budge.

[@CarJunkeez]

@@nushooz6731 have you give it a good soaking in penetrating oil and leave overnight, if it still doesn’t budge give a little heat carefully with a blow lamp, I know it’s awkward to do so though 😂

[@nushooz6731]

@@CarJunkeez I will give that a go thanks for advice.

[@CarJunkeez]

@@nushooz6731 also if you leave the bolt in just undone a little and have a block and chain lifting the turntable up so you’ve got the weight hanging then hit the head of the bolt with a hammer and wide punch, that worked for me mate 👍

[@miffrhys4900]

Brilliant.

[@CarJunkeez]

Thanks mate 👍

Hi. My Corghi machine needs a full service + seals. Would you do it for £?

[@CarJunkeez]

Hi, sorry I’m far to busy with work, I don’t even get chance to do my own projects lately 😂 cheers 👍
