You have a beautiful daughter... so allow me to try to help prevent the eventual prosthetic eyeball.View attachment 452542View attachment 452543View attachment 452544My daughter and I are cleaning up two part rotors that came w the disk assembly. Mics at 1.25 and 1.24. Question for all - 1. how do I separate the hub and rotors (I will dip in evaporust). 2. How do I remove seal/bearings on the back side of the rotor? Advice appreciated.

A wire wheel is one of the MOST dangerous tools you are likely to use on a car project. The wires break off and sling with much greater force than you may imagine. It is extremely common for someone to pull a full length piece of wire from under their skin at the end of a day using one. I would recommend safety glasses/googles AND a full face shield, and perhaps some more appropriate clothing and working a little higher off the ground (low bench or table). While it is true that the faster you turn the wheel the more force it generates, folks don't always appreciate how much potential is still there at low speeds.
Very cool that you and her are involved in this together.
Tie back the hair too! One of the more grizzly shop injuries I ever saw was long hair getting caught in a machine spindle. Granted, that wasn't a hand held drill, but it happens really fast and the results can still be bad.
Those are factory assemblies, they are not supposed to be separated, you can use the swedge cutter to aid in removing damaged studs, but otherwise leave the unit in one piece. The factory only sold the assembly as a unit,

Glad you still have that 'inner desire', I was shopping the other day and walked by one of them toilet seat extenders, I thought well lookie that it's got 'Arm Rests'!I often find myself crouched down on the ground like that, even with an empty bench nearby. I'm not sure why, I think it has something to do with my inner cave man wanting to come out and play!
I went to a vocational high school and took machine shop courses. Served me well over the years...aaaYep one of the very first lessons in Jr. High shop class whether wood or metal was: no neck tie, jewelry, (ghetto neck pimp chains) rings, hippie long hair tied back (not me then, that wasn't till high school) ball cap/bump cap/hard hat, proper work boots, long pants, safety glasses that were sterilized in a UV cabinet (?) etc.
You don't have to go to a Gore site to see nasty lathe, drill press, conveyor belt, and other industrial/heavy equipment accidents, where people end up as dog food, they are on YouTube.
An what'eva you do don't grow up to be a 'Reality TV Star'!

I'll top ya on that, my Jr. High metal shop teacher... well lets just say he wore a tie, had too, he's a teacher, but the lower part was tucked into his shirt below the tie clasp and he was wearing a buttoned up shop coat, but one kid that wasn't in the know questioned him about his tie (smartazz) to which all the rest of us that were "In the know" turned our heads and stare'd at the kid that would dare question this shop teacher. His question was never answered and we moved on so to say, we in the know knew that this shop teacher taught shop at the State Prison in the summer off season. LOLI had these tough WWII vets for teachers... That stuff wouldn't fly now... Safe spaces and everything...
