There used to be a Statoil....on the Dublin Road. It's not that any more in fairness, and probably hasn't been in years!There is no Statoil in Carrick (on Shannon). I can't remember what's the name of it, but it's on the N4 as you're leaving the town towards Sligo.
It's the place which was flooded at one point and where the car boot sale is every Sunday.
Ah yeah I know the one you're talking about, thought it was still closed. The "wrong" side of Carrick

It's been open for over a year under a different name.
What do you mean by the wrong side though? :P0 -

Also what were you cutting with the dremel at the end of the video?
She did, twas a retest after that work seen in the video.
Was busy with parties and stuff!
The outer casing of the bearing went with the hub so we just nick it and beat it off.
You'll see in the next video 0 -

The oh has been using my car today as his needed to be jumped started.
He has the most irritating habit of allowing the fuel to run down to the warning light, and parking it up, so I go out to use the car and discover it's on fumes

My mum just won't buy fuel full stop. It's not even that she doesn't want to pay for it she just doesn't like the effort of having to get it or the smell of it or in case she gets her hands dirty. So it always down to me or dad to get it for her. We have her spoiled :pac:0 -

Rear drum brake fixed!
I took the drum off again and indeed it was the wheel cylinder that had lost one of the pins that push against the brake shoe. I pushed the brake shoes to one side and removed the rubber boot on the wheel cylinder. The pin popped right back into the cylinder but as I did that brake fluid started coming out of it.
Readjusted the brake shoes, bled the brakes, everything is super now. I think the shoes were just badly adjusted leaving a gap for the pins to fall out. Everything is working fine now and the best part is it cost €0.00!
Was it not pretty beat up man?
It will probably destroy the cylinder pretty quick imo.
Just watch for a slow drop in fluid.
It may be fine but I'd be cautious of it 0 -

Actually it didn't look too bad compared to the on the other side.
The cylinder started leaking because the piston naturally started sliding out once there was nothing (brake shoe) applying pressure on it. Once I pushed the piston back into the cylinder it didn't leak no more.
Took it for a decent drive and it was fine.
I suppose I was lucky to find the bit in the centre of the drum instead of stuck between the shoe and the drum.0
