I am in work tomorrow so I will pick them up and bring them on the off chance.
Luke and his Z - Getting there!
- Thread starter LukeMace
- Start date
To get the rust etc off and free up the motor I ended up finding some Jizer in the factory which was brilliant!! I ran some warm water and put in a good splash of Jizer to it, put in the motor and waited 15 mins.
I thought I would need to disconnect the hydraulic lines from the motor but because I didn't have any more fluid I left the lines on and barged the motor with everything attached.
Took it out and gave it a soft beating with a rubber mallet as I could already turn the shaft by hand. I then ringed it again in the water and Jizer for another 5 mins then let it dry. I then started with WD40 spraying inside the motor and the bottom end also by the connectors. Afte that was soaked and left for a few mins I gave another gentle beating with a rubber mallet. Rinsed it then dried with a heat gun.
I then repeated the treatment with the WD40, let the residue leak out and dried again (heat gun). Then some more WD40! Finally got a 12v battery and tested the emptier which started up first time! Little more WD40 whilst it was turning.
I cleaned out the motor housing and the foam that was drenched in rust water! Let them dry too before putting everything together. Once housing was back ok I tested once more to make sure all was OK then put the roof back on!
Simples!!
Plus I found that someone had taken the roof off before hand and only put a couple of bolts back in the rear U support so I added extras to support as needed and my roof is now tighter than its ever been.
Result!

Marius's roof with 3 of us would take a couple of hours at most.
Marius's quad we could both work on whilst he jumps on the 2 sets of lights (which I have no idea how long would take!)
