thang -- yeah, I HAVE wondered that . . . . .
Tramp -- hmm, I'm confused about your statement, as I KNOW I stripped my bolts, screws, nuts, and various and sundry fasterners -- if it's got a helix-shaped inclined plane involved, I've buggered it, fo sho --
but, given the general tenor of the joint lately, I'll pass on the thin skinned silliness, and just say, you're absolutley right ('course, it helps that you are ;-} ) |

scheisse - i have to post more smileys- us NYers tend to say sardonic stuff with a wiseacre grin... i'm aware that a tech or a factory assembly person cooulda muscled it down.
i apologize very sincerely for coming off stupid, Bombs! |

Hey Adam,
I lost mine like that too.
I went to the nearest fastener shop and got a whole bunch of stainless steel flat washers of similar diameter and put just enough on each side, put a new stainless steel and a nyloc nut on the end. Fixed my problem.
Hey Bomber when we meet again can you show me the small charge trick. We can experiment on Tramp's Bike. |

Not sure this is relevant or not, but I've noticed that it is important to slightly loosen (~1/16th turn) both screws before really unscrewing one of them any significant amount. Pressure from the rubber o-ring can put a real bind on the one remaining screw if it hasn't been loosened enough to let the o-ring expand fully.
The same issue applies to the screws on the clutch cover.

Blakes got it
Tramp -- I was just confused, as us hayseeds from west of the Alleganies often are when confronted by our brothers and sisters from NYC -- could be some sorta "2nd City Complex," but who knows? apology entirely unnecessary, but graciously recieved, thankyouverymuch ;-}
newfie -- done and done, bro -- my pref is C4, but we can make do with stuff we find in the kitchen . . . . |

I'm one-a-those garritroopers who lives within an hour of the city, but I'm out in the hills in a tiny town where hunting and fishing were what most of us grew up doing.
very dualistic area, this hudson valley...
a good rule of thumb is that anything i'm saying on this board is said with a wide grin. I'm toning down the insulting and name-calling that are 'de rigeur' in my home-parts, as ya can't see my grin when i commit said stupidity.
cheers- jay |

'belt: Obviously you're not a tool junkie.
A too-long spacer isn't a chance to play with your hacksaw--it's a good excuse to buy a lathe!
