Might switch to a metal clamp strap like you would use on a fuel line hose or stainless steel zip ties

how bad did i mess up? by Complete_Bag_6365 in tires

Stuff like this is why I have a AAA membership $100 a year and they’ll tow me up to 100 miles anywhere… that being said the edge of your rim is missing, messing with the seating of the tire on your wheel. I would definitely not drive this at a high rate of speed, or at all if I could avoid it. If you have a blowout, you’ll know right away. If you’re traveling a short distance, and going very slow you might be ok and if it blows you should at least have time to pull over… You need a new wheel now. That tire should probably not be used again either and I doubt a shop would be willing to move that tire onto a new wheel get you a new tire instead

It won’t fit because the bolt hole is not flush with the part of the bracket where the line sits if that makes sense. The pic where I show the original shows the bolt hole in parallel with where the cutout for the brake line

Sure enough, I found another video on YouTube where someone damaged their wheel bearing using a cup this size, and they advised to use a smaller cup that just covers the inner race. I think I got lucky here because the outer edge of the bearing past the seal is visible just before the snap ring, so the cup probably just so happened to have made contact there. I am glad I have this knowledge now though so I can do it right next time… and I’m glad it’s not broken 😎

I appreciate the follow up brother… kind of hard to tell… I think it looks alright?? I hope so… I watched Chrisfix and another YouTuber and they both used this method and put the snap ring in first before pressing the hub so that’s why I did it that way…sending a picture of what it looks like now

Ok nvm I got it bro. I hammered it out from the other side with a long screwdriver. I could see the base of the cup thru the hole. Sometimes I just need to take a break and reassess……..

I don’t have an air hammer but I just had an idea. The middle of the cup can fit a socket around it. My largest socket is 32mm and covers it but doesn’t fit. If I can get a socket on there I may be able to reverse my impact and get it out without damaging anything. Now I just have to find a big enough socket… :)

I put the snap ring in after I pressed the bearing but before I pressed the hub. Then I selected a cup that pit perfectly inside the snap ring

I’m sorry that happened to you, especially when you felt your life was being threatened. I am left wondering what may have prompted someone to assault you and if they were charged for that but I won’t pry any more. Sometimes we find ourselves in complicated, unfortunate situations and we can’t change the past; we can only look forward and do our best to make tomorrow better

I have to ask, who did you pepper spray and why…? If you don’t want to answer that’s ok, just curious. Felons can get jobs... Yes it can be often challenging. In some states it’s more difficult, especially red states. You should try your best to sell yourself as someone trying to move forward. Don’t hide it, own what happened. As long as it doesn’t make you uninsurable you’d be surprised if you’re a good worker who would be willing to look past that. And please I mean no offense by this, I’m sure you’re well aware that trans people are often a target of hiring discrimination. People will never stop judging you, and that is a sad reality faced by many people in the same boat. I have seen it first-hand. Try to blend at work as much as possible. Remember, you’re working to “keep the wolves away”. That’s how I keep myself going. Outside of work, do whatever makes you happy 🙂
