The retainer removed in Step 4. is trickier to put back in then to take out. Care must be taken to make sure that it is perfectly straight before screwing it in, otherwise it is easily jammed and may get stuck for good.
The 3M respirator mask has two replaceable cartridges, each of which also has an outer particulate filter ("pre-filter") held in place by a filter retainer. In this shot, the particulate filter and retainer are in place on the right, while the filter on the left has had the retainer and pre-filter removed.
The larger flanged ring of the two retainers, it is driven all the way home. It may at times feel like it's tight, but when you look at it from the side, you can see that it still has a sizable gap above the gears. This is when you back it off a little, and then feel the gears pop into place. It usually needs to be done that way with both gears.
I figure the best tool for this job is one that is the same diameter as the retainer, with two pins no deeper than the flange on the retainer, so they don't bind on the gears. This give you even pressure on the retainer while screwing it down, and a better chance of getting it right the first time.
Akō Castle was home to thew Asano clan during the Edo Period (1603-1868).
Oishi Kuranosuke was the chief retainer of the Asano clan during the turmoil associated with the 47 Ronin incident, in which the feudal lord, Asano Naganori, attacked and wounded Kira Yoshinaka within Edo Castle. As drawing a weapon within the shogun's castle was a capital offence, Asano was sentenced to commit seppuku the same day.
As a result of Asano's impulsive behavior, the Shogunate disbanded the Asano clan and seized their lands. Oishi and 46 other former Asano retainers waited and unleashed their misguided revenge on Kira, attacking his home in the dead of night in December 1703, killing his body guards as well as taking his head and placing it in front of Asano's tomb in Senkaku-ji Temple in Takanawa, Tokyo.
All the Akō ronin were sentenced to death by seppuku (harakiri). The loyalty that these guys showed to their foolish lord by committing what can only be described as what me and some of my friends referr to as a feudal "drive-by"- Japanese style, has been lauded by the Japanese public ever since. The facts behind the actual events have been buried in the countless puppet and kabuki plays as well as movies that have been made about this.
I'm not a terribly big fan of Asano Naganori, nor do I think the Akō ronin were particularly "brave" by carrying out a night attack after a party and fighting a small group of drunk bodyguards and taking the head of a feeble old man. But, this perspective is from modern, western eyes. In reality, night attacks of this nature have always been a staple of samurai warfare, being documented since the Heian period. As much as I don't partake in the 47 Ronin Kool Aid drinking parties, I do admit to enjoying watching a good fictional film or kabuki play about these guys.

"Retayner" is a well-known multi-disciplinary artist from Melbourne who is deeply tied to both the city's graffiti scene and its underground hip-hop culture.
"Retayner" is known for an aesthitic which ranges from classic illegal writing structures to complex, intertwined lettering, sharp geometric extensions, and layered arrows.
Finally, quoting and paraphrsing "Bailer's" epic publication "Wall Stories"; "Retayner" is infamous for surviving a horrific, near-fatal accident during his teenage years. While attempting to paint on the roof of an active electrical substation, he touched live power lines. The resulting explosion blew off two of his toes and severely burned his hand to the bone.

This is where the 47 Ronin of Akō, along with their lord, Asano, are interred. Sengaku-ji is located in Tokyo, near Shinagawa Station.

The round retainers for the rocker moulding were wire brushed, washed, primed, and painted with Rustoleum. I placed them all on separate 35mm film cans to keep them from sticking to anything - worked great!
I polished the stainless mouldings and also the painted areas where they mount (each with different polishes).
This covers most of the rust holes in the front fenders. The POR15 will stop the rust until I replace the fenders later.
So having a retainer is pretty annoying, but decorating the cases for them makes things a tad better. :)
The Oyamada served as the chief retainers of the Yagyū clan.
Many of us know of the Yagyū clan from what we see in samurai TV shows, movies and fictional books. More often than not, the Yagyū are portrayed as devious puppet masters, controlling the Shogunate’s spy and information gathering network and manipulating it for their own profit—with the exception of the one-eyed Jūbei, who like Musashi, fought a lot of duals, both imaginary, real and reel. Hehe. Also, when not chasing after Ittō Ogami and his son Daigorō, the Yagyū were a fairly normal daimyo clan, administering their small fief near Nara and teaching swordsmanship to the first three Tokugawa Shoguns.
Like most daimyo clans, the Yagyū ran into financial trouble during the Edo period. The burdens of funding the alternative attendance journeys to and from Edo every other year along with maintaining residences in the Shogun’s capital were a heavy drain on the small clan’s finances. The Oyamada family served as the hereditary o-karo (chief senior retainers) of the Yagyū clan and played a big role in helping turn around the clan’s finances in the Edo period. The Oyamada house has survived the test of time and has been turned into a very interesting and fun museum that sheds some light on what it was to live in the Yagyū han. I loved this house, as those who know me, know that I have an affinity for the lights, shadows and beautiful contrasts that old Japanese houses create.

This shrine is located on the site of the main castle of Uesugi Kenshin. The main object of worship at this shrine is not surprisingly, Uesugi Kenshin.
Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578) was born the youngest son of Nagao Tamekage, an important retainer of the Uesugi clan. Following a major victory over the rival Hōjō clan which had invaded Uesugi territory, the gifted and ambitious young general found himself being adopted into the Uesugi clan and propelled to its top leadership position and ruler of Echigo Province. Over the course of his lifetime, Kenshin fought in 70 major battles against the Takeda, the Hōjō and Oda Nobunaga and was gained a reputation as one of the best generals of his time. It is for this reason that he was later given the nickname the Dragon of Echigo. As he was preparing for a major campaign against Oda Nobunaga, Kenshin suddenly became ill and died shortly afterwards. Until the point of his illness he had been in good health, despite being a relatively heavy drinker. Kenshin’s death was Nobunaga’s gain, as his forces started pushing deeper into Uesugi territory, taking advantage of the fact that Kenshin’s two adopted sons had started a civil war within the clan. Unfortunately for Nobunaga, he was assassinated in 1582, just as he had Kenshin’s surviving son, Kagekatsu, on the ropes. Nobunaga’s successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, brought Kagekatsu into his fold of allies and later asked Kagekatsu to move to the domain of Aizu, to help better ring in Tokugawa Ieyasu. Unfortunately for Kagekatsu, after Japan plunged back into civil war upon the death of Hideyoshi, he allied himself with Ishida Mitsunari against the Tokugawa and lost. For this, the Uesugi were forced to move to the much smaller fief of Yonezawa, which was a big blow to the pride, wealth and prestige of the once mighty Uesugi clan. Throughout the Edo period, the Uesugi were never to play a prominent role in much of anything—although gaining a slight notoriety for the part the clan and its daimyo played in the 47 Ronin Incident of 1701-1703.
Pretty early on I discovered that any kind of bumps in the road would cause the chain to jump out of its retaining box. This contraption was bent up from a piece of aluminum sheet, then slits were cut with a small abrasive disk. The resulting tabs were bend down slightly to snag on the chain box. The handles are made from a pair of #10 bolts that are attached with nuts top and bottom. Squeezing them together springs the two tabs free of the front and back edges of the chain box so that it can be slid off for chain adjustment. Worked first time!
