The bread doesn’t ruin anything. You take the bearing out with a puller and then you just push the sleeve out with bread. It works it’s way behind the sleeve and pushes it out but it is perfectly good afterward.
The first time we serviced my clutch we used bread for all of it. It pushed out the bearing and bushing (packing the bearing full of bread). Second time we tried (the auto swap) we just used a blind bearing puller for both the bearing and bushing.
I remember packing it with wheel bearing grease and then hammer a piece of a broomstick in to pop that bearing out . But that was more than 35years ago so …
Bearing grease is a lot messier . I used that because it’s what I was taught . Bread may be a much less messy idea
Put a 240 outlet in my garage today. Pretty easy project. I put the outlet right on the other side of the breaker box so I only needed about 3 feet of wire in the end but started with 4’.
Drilled a hole in the outside wall and fed some flexible conduit through there and up into breaker box.
Cut hole in drywall.
Feed wires through box.
Plug it all in.
New breaker is bottom right.
Just need to go get some caulk to put around the conduit and good to go!

Easy peasy! I have been wanting to do a 100 amp subpanel in the garage but the main breaker box is on the other side of the house! 100' of 1/0-1/0-1/0-2 SER is damn expensive.
I got lucky on mine. The place had a hot tub wired up out back that no longer worked. Shawn helped me just re-use those existing wires and run them into the garage (roughly the exact same distance from the breaker box) and we dropped the fuse down to a 25A.
Yeah this wire was $7 per foot so luckily I didn’t think twice about buying 4’ of it lol
I've picked his brain quite a bit on on what I want to do and how to do it. Hes been a real help. The SER is the only thing holding me back--its either way to expensive or just out of stock everywhere.
Super jealous. I could get by with 75' feet I am sure, but would rather have the extra because we want to add a hottub someday as well
Some more goodies came today.
I’ve got everything I need for my Dana 44/midarm/outboard shock project now. I’m just still working through my dads transmission swap first though. I’ve got the transmission mostly all hooked up but still need to do the interior stuff, radiator, trans cooler, motor mount lift, UCF ultra high skid, exhaust modification, rear spring/shock swap. Then it’s time for my Jeep!

I don't use a hammer on the bad ones. I use an electric grease gun. Grease fitting threads into brass coupler, bolts thread into a couple of the holes in the crank. O-ring seals the ID of the bushing.
Just buttoned up my dads Jeep after the auto swap and it fired up perfectly right away. All 3 gears and TC lockup work perfect. Shifts are nice and smooth. No leaks at all. I am a happy camper. Now I can finally get that thing out of the garage and finish my midarm/axle swap/ shock outboard.
