Our family has a fair number of rods and I put each into a rod bag before storing in a tube. Anyhow, it's sometimes hard to tell which rod is which so I started to label them.
If you look into the Quilting Notions section of any large fabric store you'll find some fabric sheets that you can print on with an ink jet printer. These are often used to print photos onto a white fabric and then ironed on to your project. I fired up MS Word and made a sheet of text with different labels for the different rods. Setting it up in two column mode you can print labels for at least 20 rods. I then printed my document onto one of these fabric sheets (June Taylor Quick Fuse Iron-On Inkjet Fabric Sheet - washable), cut out individual labels, and then ironed them on to the rod bags. Works great and it makes it real easy to find the rod your looking for.
reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.
I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.
If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?
Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess
My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.
Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.
above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out
here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there
here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
