I am completely new to this forum and new to owning a Banshee. I have a 2002 Banshee with minor mods and is in fairly good condition...or so I thought. Last year riding was great but I had clutch issues (slipage) and the brakes were going. I decided to change the clutch and brakes this week....and have been having the worst luck ever. First, 3 screws holding my plastics snapped off and required drilling, which i've taken care of. Second, I removed the clutch and while putting in the new one one of the screws holding the springs snapped and while I was drilling it out the clutch hub cracked....Lucky me! It doesnt end there... Third, so after cooling down, I decided to work on the brakes and I can remove the bolts holding the brakes pads in (front), does anyone have any suggestions? I have already tried using a torch...and I have already stripped them a bit... i guess drilling maybe my only option... Best, Dan
