QUOTE(Cheapsnake @ Apr 19 2013, 05:44 PM)  Damn! That's why none of my allen wrenches don't fit! The right tool to turn the fasteners is only the first part. Then comes a big f%#&!N hammer and a cold steel chisel to seperate the joint from the flange. And that's just the inside joints. The outside ones are real fun. |
