Thanks for posting your tutorial Mike. Your way is much simpler, and doesn't involve a torch. I like it! I also like that you use the rounded end of the screw to bottom out in the hole. As we know, that hole isn't square at the bottom. It's concave. Using the round end of the screw head gives you much more contact area.
I agree Dave. Thanks for posting this Mike!
After about 7/8 minutes, remove the barrel and clean up the grease and any flecks of JB.
Yessir!!! The thickness gets thin enough so that the Philips's bit access shows more and more . . . but, you can easily see the circular "witness mark" of the arbor on the spacer in the pic.Good observation!!!Mike
Tomorrow I'll show how I "fine tune" the endshake to get my final spec. Mike

I've never had a problem with JB Weld but I have drilled out a SS spacer before and it surprised me at how tough it was ! You are right Dave and that is exactly why I use those screw heads.
