[john walker's workshop]

the metal thing works good on your toothpaste tube to wind it up. i suppose you could use it on the dirko tube also. too small to open beers. sardine cans too, but they come with their own crank. the factory sealer was applied with a little roller, so there wasn't much extra. any stuff imbedded in the main bearings? make sure there's a tiny bit of sealer around the #8 nose bearing o ring, so you don't pull a leland.
