King Tip of the day - Humpback lift arm

[8270king]

To easily get the rubber off of a lift arm simply immerse it in your part cleaning tank for about 2 weeks.

The pad will then pull off and the contact cement will come off easily.

what are you supposed to replace it with? I have a much quicker method but probably not as "safe".

[8270king]

What is your method.....why grind when chemicals will slowly do the work

[Grit]

well I had one snap below where the upper bolt is welded in, I welded it back and it pretty much melted the contact cement off so the rubber is barely hanging on. I'm sure your method is as I said "safer" and nicer, since some of the rubber melted as well. I'd love to be able to replace it, I was just asking what you are supposed to do after you get it separated, since I'm not aware of being able to purchase a new rubber from lifelong.

Part number LL300-003P it's the pad only.

The new pad works pretty well too.

cool. I'll be ordering some of these for sure and give king's method a trial while I wait for them to get here. What are you using in your parts cleaner King?

[8270king]

Parts cleaner solvent from Grainger.....

I use better contact cement from grainger too...Weldwood does not hold well with all the oil -2RUF2

Had a two of them out a couple weeks ago, i sprayed them with gumout carb cleaner and wiped them down good then took some 80 grit to them to prolong replacing. So far so good.
