Get a can of canned air, hold it upside down, and freeze the race...... heat the tube a bit and see if it’ll let go or pack the tube with non flammables and weld several spots on the exposed face of the race - the welds will shrunk and loosen the race. Just be careful of weld splatter.

They played that movie on the way over to Basic Training, then we got thrown off the cattle cars and realized it wasn't gonna be like the movie.

that sped up version was cool.
What do you have holding the camera... cell phone? I have a camera tripod I could use with a camera mount but it would be kinda backwoods hoakie to setup in the cab.

I'm also kinda afraid that my video would be too much vibration to see anything....

Put on a new soft top. Had to get all the old stuff out of the way so it took a while. Here is five hours in 30 seconds of time-lapse:

And here is a drive from Burger King to my Mechanic where I picked up the new top. This was right after getting the window mount for the phone and having lunch. 6 minutes of driving on Michigan roads and fixing the camera a few times because nothing will hold it that still for that long on these roads:

Cool videos! You did good getting the top on in 5 hours. Took me two days lol. Of course it was the dead of Winter and colder than a well diggers arse when I put mine on. That vinyl won't stretch when cold!! Course it would of helped if I hadn't got the corner pieces of the frame reversed.
I didn't realise how flat it was in your neck of the woods. I can't drive more than 50 yards without going up or down a hill.
Don't ya just love road construction?
You guys have me motivated to get my GoPro hooked up!!

It is kinda fun to make a little video now and then. Those orange cones out here have been adopted as the Official State Flower of Michigan.
The top actually took 6 hours, I did the last in the garage with some lights. It was rough and I do not want to take that thing off ever ever ever again! Honestly the hardest part was taking out all the buttons that had rusted in there from the old top so the new channel rails would fit flush.
Yep the roads really are that bumpy, that's why I don't have any kidney stones, I get the vibration treatment every day!
