Hey all,
I'm starting a club activity at the school I work for to give kids some hands-on mechanical experience. We will be tearing down and rebuilding motorcycles in a corner of my classroom...should be fun :bigthumb:
I need some help, however, in getting a list together of the tools I'll need to accomplish an entire teardown and rebuild. I've done a couple myself previously, but we will probably attempt things I haven't done before and I borrow a lot of tools as well so I'm probably forgetting about some things I've borrowed. I need a complete list of everything I'll need so that, as I contact potential partners/sponsors, I can make give them a list of items we need to get started.
In helping me make a list of what we'll need, it may be important that we do have compressed air available where I'll be working if that makes any difference...
So, here's what I've got so far:
What else do I need? I've never done anything with forks, so what will we need for that work? I also haven't done a ton of engine or transmission work on my own (and never at my own garage), so I'm not at all sure what tools I need for some of that. This is just a list I threw together a couple days ago and then added a few things to here and there - I'm sure it's missing a lot which is why I need all your help :hail:
Any help/input is much appreciated!!!
