ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
Hello,
Just wondering if I'd be able to change an ABS ring at home?
Not sure how hot it needs to be to expand? Would a heat gun get hot enough?
Or would it have to be a garage job with a blowtorch?
Cheers
Tom

Try a heat gun, failing that, get yourself a handheld blowtorch
RE: ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
Would rather not have to buy one as the ring only costs £2 lol. Will try the heatgun though, see how it goes.

Cut old one off, put new one in oven for 10 mins on hot hot, wear oven glove, smash it on.
Simple as that lol
RE: ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
What sort of temp would you put the oven at?
Old one is split btw, so should come off without cutting hopefully!

put it on max, shelf at the very top, that should do it

I replaced my front offside ABS ring last year - just tapped it on carefully with a hammer, no heat involved. Still fine 10k later! Was £2 delivered from eBay I think.
RE: ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 02-06-2014
£1.40 posted for the one I think I need...
Should be tighter than just tapping on surely lol? But nice and easy if that is the case!

Did my brothers too without heat, easy.

It's definitely not going to come off was a nice tight fit once tapped on, it's fairly soft metal so probably just stretches slightly
RE: ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 03-06-2014
A bit too soft clearly if they're that prone to splitting!
Have ordered one now anyway, will see how it goes.
RE: ABS Ring Replacement - Toms306 - 08-06-2014
Well typically I ordered the wrong size lol. Got the right size yesterday and fitted fairly easily. Didn't use any heat, did use a lump hammer though lol. However it was over 20c in the sun, so might be a different story in the depths of winter.
