ive have been here for about 3 hrs now trying to do the damn saftey wire to hold the bolts that connect the rotor to the hat. does any one have any adivce on how to do this step????

the wire either snaps or is no where near tight enough to prevent the bolt from backing out

please help!!!!

[thisisagame24]

[weltall]

do you have a pair of swipes (saftey wire pliers?)

im a no shit pro at saftey wiring but its really a trade you have to show

i can do you SW for you at the bbq if youll be there and i can show you at the same time



(if its breaking your putting too many twists in it 12 per inch is suffecent enough)

call me 910 581 2947 and i can walk you through it sorta

[player757]

i have the same break setup just not installed yet where did you get your safety wire

[weltall]

you can get wire and swipes from harbor freight

[thisisagame24]

its still a major pain in the ass.

will you be free around 9pm tonight jason? im at work and get off at 8 so i really wont be abe to get t work on i untill then.

i was hoping to get them installed before the BBQ but if worst comes to worse i wil bring it down so you can help me with it. but hopefully the kit will be on by monday night

[weltall]

im off work till the 25th so all i do is play halo saving money for a retune and the impending trip to MD

[thisisagame24]

sweetness...i ill def give you a call later tonight....i have a basic idea of it....but just cant get it perfect and its rather annoying

[thisisagame24]

holy hell.....is all im going to say about that shit

i got it done....def not pretty but its tight and all in the right direction

thanks for your help jason...but just a heads up if i ever have to do this again im going to ship it to you hahaha this was insane

[weltall]

no problem

it is a pain in the ass the first time you have to do it

esp with really thick wire


ill still bring my stuff to the bbq

[thisisagame24]

sounds like a plan...ill see if i can get some bolts with the holes in it...so you can really show me how to do it properly. so when i have to replace the rotors i do it the right way haha

but i did find it easier to do the pig tail ends with regular vise grips. i was able to get a better hold on the wire with them and they were a lot smaller then my swipes

wtf is safety wire

[talonXracer]

Safety wire or lockwire is common in the aircraft and racing industries as an extra precaution to keep vital fasteners from unintentionally loosening and parts falling off due to vibration or other forces. This function is often referred to as positive locking. It also allows rapid and easy visual inspection of fasteners to ensure that they have been tightened. Safety Wiring of fasteners is often a requirement to pass technical safety inspections in racing. Safety Wire itself is available in multiple gauges and different materials, depending on the application. In consumer aircraft and racing applications, stainless steel wire is used, most commonly in .032" diameter, although other gauges are used for specific circumstances. Typically, safety wire is threaded through a hole drilled into a fastener or part, then twisted and anchored to a second fastener or part, then twisted again, usually with the aid of safety wire pliers.
