  1. Hope you put some oil on those felt pads, otherwise those bushes are going to be very dry, especially after being scrubbed in the ultrasonic like that. They need 5 drop or so of 10W 30 engine oil added to each pad, which will then soak into the oilite bush and lubricate for a long time. Yes please get some crimp on ferrules, especially for cables like that, they will come loose otherwise. The common crimp on ones can also be soldered if you remove the red, blue or yellow sleeve, and then use some heatshrink tube after soldering, to make them both more robust and able to fit small places easier. Cheap eBay pack (throw the flimsy horrible crimp tool that comes with the kit away, all you need are the crimps, and some decent crimp pliers) and you will get at least 20 of the most common size hole lugs, in all 3 common cable sizes. Then you see which ones run low first, and buy packs of 100 of them.

  2.  @jamescavanagh9276  Wish they were available by me, it would make car work so much easier to do, though I can still use a compressor and spray gun to do it, the convenience of the single use can though is great.

  3. No way you got that pulley to the right torque just holding it by hand. Normally requires 2 large screwdrivers in the fan assembly to wedge it, to get to the right torque without damaging the blades. Sworn over way too many of those Bosch units to get them apart, and that came apart too easy. Normally you need a stout vise, some stout pry bars and some wooden broom sticks as softish wedges to get the pulley nut to even budge.

  4. Best to get the majority of the paint off first, so the sand blaster does not make the metal too thin.

  5. Got the same pair, but not in as good a condition. They have been well used doing fencing and other work, but aside from the handles being very tatty dipped orange plastic they are otherwise still usable.
