    Silly Question?? Clean looking hose clamps?

    I used these on industrial fittings. They will hold past 150 psi and look clean. But you have to cut them off and replace. Usually bought by the bag in various sizes. http://www.oetiker.com/en/Solutions/Industry-Trading/Maintenance-Repair-and-Operation-MRO#/?l0=574E8DE591FC4F3AA800774EAC5BD7B5.

    Stator/Rotor removal

    Thanks guys, I did measure it out to M16 x 1.5, so it's good to know I can measure! I had no luck finding such a bolt today. I did find a 6" 3 jaw puller, but quickly bent the existing bolt using it as a pilot. F*^K!
