Gimbal Ring Repair Made Easy
 

I thought I would share with you my Gimbal Ring repair using Ron Benders method. http://www.jrmarine.com/

Ron also supplied the three wrenches needed.

The total project from start to finish took me 6 hours.:drink:

Drilling out the template took me 45 minutes.

To make the removal easier I drilled a 3/8 hole in the middle and took a small pry bar to start the removal process.

The directions say use a die grinder. I could not use my straight grinder so out to buy and Small air Angle Grinder.

Project completed.
NOTICE – if you buy parts remember to install them! :eek:
I bought a stainless U-bolt from Ron and forgot to put it in. I almost took it back apart but I had the clearance set by the time I noticed.
Overall a very good product and Ron was great to work with. I highly recommend using this product. :evilb:

Just did the same repair myself a couple of weeks ago, Ron was great and I was always able to get him on the phone when needed

I used his kit too and I'm a believer!

The bellhousing and all the bellows & cable was intimidating but I had a member from here stop by my shop to give we a hand, THANKS JIM (32 caliber)!

And what did you have to do with it? I really need to fix mine so could someone explain what he did here other than get access to it. Thank you.

So do you have to take drive and bellhousing off to do this? I am really sorry for all the dumb questions guys but thank you for taking the time to help. It is appreciated very much!

Will this work on a TRS drive?
