With the price of porta power sets these days it is a must to have one in you're workshop.
I have used a couple of 20mm threaded rods and plates to hold my guide in place. One thing you do need to do and thats use a strong clamp to keep the support arms together. If you don't do this you will end up spreading them apart and dissaligning the shaft and believe me it just will not come out. I have got it down to about 12-15mins per wheel with this method. It may not suite everyone but it sure works for me.
Oh! and thats my 6 Year Old Andrew, I'm just grooming him for future lifting, cleaning, welding, cutting, grinding and making coffee

Hey Colin,
whats an engineer doing with a claw hammer under his arm in the last pic?

Hi Euan, you know you can't hammer split pins with a micrometer.

Hi Colin - I was trying to work out how to configure my porta power set to remove these shafts, but our recent conversation and your detailed images on this thread has now given me the walk up start of how to do it. I cannot remember the details but could you please explain the issue Pedre had whilst removing a shaft.

Very happy Bob

A few bits and pieces painted and a little rework to be completed at the back.

Each shot is the same place but other carrier.
