2x2x3/16 Box Tubing was added to stiffen the frame back up
The frame was then painted with ICI chemical resistant epoxy
Machine paint at a cost of under $50.00 for the gallon of paint and the hardener.
This next series of photos deals with easy removal of a pilot bearing. A friend of mine had not seen it done this way before so I thought I would include it. First fill the bearing with grease then take the alignment shaft provided with clutch kit to drive the bearing out , the grease will force the bearing out. You can also use the alignment shaft to tap the new bearing in.
