Ultramatic Disassembly
Posted by humanpotatohybrid On 2023/10/9 18:29:44
Hello all,
Recently I picked up a junky Twin Ultramatic for pretty cheap (the one from my What's it worth? thread). I have been reading up thoroughly on the Ultramatic recently so I figured I'd disassemble this to familiarize myself with them more. Of course, I already have a couple questions:
- Is is just me or is this a comical amount of sludge? Looks like a whole clutch worth, or is there another explanation (old fluid + condensation)?
- How do I extract these oil tubes? Do I just need ultra thin tip pliers?
P.S. In case anyone is thinking "why waste your time repairing that, it's worthless": to me it is an educational opportunity, not a repair-worthy part. Thanks everyone.
