dragbanshee Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 If you call it a fucking pile of shit before you kick it that helps too... :biggrin: I try not to let her hear me though, shes temperMENTAL the way it is. Quote

LOL Just about the time he gets the pig running right he wont be able to ride. :biggrin: Thats no joke I have perfect form in field goal kicking empty fuel cans into the street in front of my house. lol i could pitch for the yankees when i get pissed, ilike to pick things up and throw them down the road. Either that or i punch them, i found out the hard way (about 30 times before it dawnd on me) that fists vs. metal = fail If you call it a fucking pile of shit before you kick it that helps too... :biggrin: yea i usually call her you worthless mother fucker, or common you stupid pos. I'm just glad that i got the damn thing off. I got luck and was able to use the leverge from the cover it self to pop the screw loose, then i got some needle nos and just started working the screw out until i could grab it. Now I'm going to need to get a replcement. Thats bad when you replace every bolt on your bike to be a allen head so you dont strip it out and this happens Quote

Thats bad when you replace every bolt on your bike to be a allen head so you dont strip it out and this happens Direct Drive screws you over with the screws they use on their covers.......... they are actually a 6-32 screw which takes an SAE hex key, but a metric hex key that is near the same size fits and works most of the time. However, once you find a couple screw with the metric key and the hex on the screw gets worn, they strip and break very easily. :geek: Quote
SQUIRREL MASTER Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 im glad to read all of this because i thought i was the only one with anger management problems with my bike. i usually put my hands on my head and kick my friends bike while i scream. makes me feel better. Quote

rubberneck Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 Hey just fyi, i have had really good luck with purple locktite. It lubes the screws going in so they dont gaul yet it doesn't hold like a mofo for getting them off. Bigger than about 1/4 inch and i use blue or red depending on what im doing. Quote

dajogejr Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 Man...if you didn't have any luck, you wouldn't have any at all... If you kicked it...you'd probably break or fracture a bone in your foot that takes forever to heal...it'd probably roll out of the garage, then right into someone's car... who is sue happy despite she's driving a 1985 Yugo on 3 spare tires and no car insurance. She'd fall out of the car holding her neck.... "Don't touch me mothafucker I'm on disability...." Glad to hear it's ok. Once you get to go for a rip it's all worth it again.... I spent the first two trips to the dunes last year MFing my bike after 5 or 6 runs each time, popping an oring, then smoking a stator.... When I got to rip down the track finally, it was all worth it!! Quote
JET 99 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 its a little late but for future problems....... use an air etcher(scribe).... just be real careful not to nick the threads... but just work the center of the broken screw. turning it counter clockwise... the vibration helps wiggle it while you turn it... i have used this trick at work and on projects at home... saves from further disassembly and possible work on bridgeport mill.. :beer: Quote

I forgot about trying that. Luckily I have not had to do that in awhile. :geek: Quote
flyhighprerunner Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 I agree with dajogejr...no matter how many times you kick it smack it with the wrench you forget about it all when your 5th gear deep in the dunes, well thats how it is for me atleast Quote
