Easy RLET installation, using a sheep castrator

[GoldOxide_imp]

Owww! I don't want to watch that again.

Heck, put a drop of soap into it for lubrication, grab it with a rag so it doesn't slip out of your hand, and just shove. Ten seconds, tops.

A big (+1) with the Gone.

Is there a pick of the "split RLET"? Maybe the Forum can learn something from its sacrifice.

How they get on, is not important.

That they get on, is what is important

Wisely said.
Now, we all know.

No pic, I'm afraid, GO... the event was all too tragic. VERY upsetting.....It was gently 'laid to rest' on a bed of motorcycle magazines with full motorcycle honours (playing in the background a Stanley Schofield recording of Mike Hailwood's 350 Honda Six, screaming down the Glencrutchery Road on the Isle of Man). It was a very moving ceremony...

I agree that "soap" is probably the way to go - it was how all old British 'bike handlebar grips were fitted 'back in the day', and none if this "special Honda handlebar grip adhesive" nonsense ! They mention the adhesive in the workshop manual. My mistake was to not soften it first in hot water, and then use a thin screwdriver to try and slide it on.

Anyhows, hot water, a splash of WD40 and my trusty new tool, the "RLET-go", and Bingo! on it went!

Handlebar grip adhesive? Never heard of it.

I don't see how an RLET would ever need to be glued in, but if need be, I've always used hair spray as a grip adhesive. Spray liberally into the grip. It's a lubricant until it dries, then it's glue.

GO, the RLET Big Three Syndicate (Cormanus, Ferret, and Lord Popgun) has already spoken on the matter ... and it's better for your own safety not to disturb the Ring

The thread is about "using a sheep castrator".

As a result, it would be a learning to all that is Forum to visualize and pay respects to a split RLET.

I’d be worried about the ‘cup of tea’!

And rightly so... It should be a MUG of tea in the workshop, on the building site, or working.in the garden.

A CUP of tea is for when the vicar or the mother-in-law calls, or when Mum makes herself a nice cuppa!

Of course, a bottle of "Spitfire" or one of the Dartmoor Ales might be nicer, but not when I'm on the "falling over machine "!

I didn't really put my post very well when I think about it. Must have been late in the day.

I meant that the prospect of being met at the door by a bloke with a sheep castrator in one hand, squeezing an RLET in the other, and saying, "My dear fellow, do come in and have a cup of tea" was rather terrifying. Sort of like being asked in for a cream bun by Hannibal Lector or someone of that ilk.

This thread is nuts.

Soon we will have the National Sheep Protection Association coming after us , they are part of PETA so be warned . I do like lamb chops but keep that to myself.
