Removing the tin from cylinders 1&2 I broke 2 screws. Soaked them for 2 days sprayed 3 times each day with PB Blaster and they still broke. What a sick feeling when you think they are starting to come out and they break instead. So the head is off to Jack's Machine shop for removal of 1 screw and welding, drilling and retapping the hole I screwed up. By the way, Easy Outs should be called Easy Breaks. I can't remember 1 broken screw, bolt or stud they have worked on.
Only 1 good thing came out of all this. My 13 year old son was watching and thinks I'm stronger than I really am. He thinks he's still not ready to mess with Dad. By the way having the kid there sure cuts down on what you can say. Dave |
