Burke Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I think that has the 3 layer ring that you use a pick or a flat screwdriver to get out Quote
banshee35027 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 I'm sure it's easy. Just never done one before and just to give me a heads up. Where could I find the packing if it's not from toomeys? Lowes maybe? Quote
Bennett131 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I have used stainless steel pot scrubbers as well, they last and don't sound too bad actually. Quote
Burke Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 any bike shop will have actual 2 stroke packing, or you can use pink fiberglass insulation or a bunch of steel wool pads... each will vary on how long it will last though Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 My yfz450 Toomey has that pain in the ass flat 3-layer clip, but all the T-5's I've ever bought had a regular snap ring. I use FMF packing, or anything cheap. Quote
sheerider11 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I luckily have a cycle gear in town and will grab a bag usually every visit. It's like 10 bucks fmf brand. Toomey uses a snap ring. If they are old and a negligent owner had them, the cores can be rotted and broken. If they are order new ones. Packing is a seasonal thing. Cheap and always noticeable in a good way. Quote
do-work-son Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Mine had a snap ring I ordered new packing and a new core straight from toomey it was pretty reasonabley priced and cut to size. Or the fly racing packing seems like good stuff http://www.toomey.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=14&Itemid=3&vmcchk=1&Itemid=3 Quote
banshee35027 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 Where is the snap ring located? Quote
banshee35027 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 How hard is it to put back In? Quote
banshee35027 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Posted October 7, 2014 Jk just now noticed it was outside the pipe. Not inside. Dumb moment. Sorry. I think I got it. Thanks man. Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 VERY easy if the core is in the right spot on the other end. Quote
Starwriter Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Something like this. The ones with the removable tips are junk. The ones that are convertible from internal to external are only slightly better. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 R13 (pink stuff) is fine. Two to three nice tight wraps around and use electric tape on it to keep it fluffed evenly. The grey/brown Owens Corning stuff is stock in the shearers. But to be honest the older Glassier stuff is bitchin. I actually keep chunks of it when I demo homes that have it from the 50's-60's. I just re did my shearers in Rock Wool.(fire retardant insulation) it was a bitch but I figured out a way to just make a tube out of a large rectangular chunk. Just drilled the center out with a 24" auger drill bit that I had. Sounds pretty nice but for the effort I hope it lasts. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I have used stainless steel pot scrubbers as well, they last and don't sound too bad actually. This ^ ^ ^ . Buy them at dollar store or Wally World. Did FMF cans this way, sounds great, will last forever, and won't get soaked and harden/burn. Quote
