That was entertaining; laughed and the gluck comment. 10-pound weight plates will work well for a support. Use a spring clamp or woodworking clamp to keep the sleeve & bar aligned. Add a few drops of PB Breaker or other penetrating lube a few minutes before using the punch and a peening hammer (not a nailing one). When replacing the roll pin, use padded pliers to squeeze the pin a bit to ease it into the hole without risking hitting your fingers with the hammer if it slips. Keep saving those classic pieces of iron.
@@rdmckeever7645 Excellent advice! I need to up my hammer game. Peening hammer is going on the shopping list. Pinching the pin is a great idea! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks fo watching/commenting, Keith! I've had a bunch of bars sitting around the garage too long. I just built a tub and I'll be posting along the way. Eric Stanak gave me some excellent advice that I'll be combining with my own experiences and others' tips. Fingers crossed.
@@vintageweightspgh I mean I'm literally broke as in 0.00 bank account... I also don't have a bank account... I'm also only 17 smhhh... But yea there's also no good deals nearby as well... Like closest one is 2 hours away
Theoretically on a York split sleeve, yes, you could. The inner collars are fixed. On other bars, you wpuld need to use an inner collar to prevent the weights from sliding too far center
Have you ever taken apart a barbell with roll pins? Any advice?

You could use a brass hammer. It'd be less likely to hurt the roll pin when you start it
A bench vise, C-clamp, etc. could also be used to press the pins into place rather than hammering them in...
Mine doesn't have through holes. 😢 So what do you do in the case? Tap threads and use a bolt to remove the roll pin?
It's amazing how simple bar maintenance can be but how rarely it is accomplished. Awesome tutorial on something that isn't commonly presented!
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Gluck: “lol he said shaft”
Very helpful video Rob. Now I might try and take some of mine apart to strip the sleeves to bare

Why Glucks? lol 7:29
He always makes jokes I remember hearing in high school
Where to buy replacement roll pins. What size are they. Thanks
That’s a great question! Let me look into it and get back to you.
Can I remove the sleeves and use the one inch plates?
