Hello all,
Came home from work today and pulled the Kurt vise I’ve listed for sale out of it’s hiding spot.
(You can NOT ESCAPE!!!)
The intention was to clean it up for some good pictures….
Then I decided to dig in a little deeper and start cleaning:
Might as well pull the fixed jaw.
For future reference you need a 1/2” allen drive and the biggest breaker bar you can find! OMG was that tight! I was a little scared…. But they finally broke loose
Ewww… some nasty gunk and rust in the keys there….
Now to take the screw out:
Hmmmm….. the thrust washer won’t come off…. Theres a raised lip around the snap ring groove?!?
A little gentle filing to get rid of the lip and the washer comes off:
Tap the screw through and out of the vise body:
Man… that’s some NASTY crud under there!!!
After come cleaning in the kerosene bucket I spin the screw out:
