Little Wrenching party......just three of us

[Chrisj CMA]

Me, Doug from Mossy Head and MURPHY showed up

our little exercise included:

-R/R wheels for da new tires

-Grease da splines and driveshaft

-New back brakes

-Change original Air Cleaner out.....I cudda potted a plant with the dirt

-Flush all hydraulics

Lots of firsts today.  First time I had a stuck flange....couldnt get it out of the final drive until my back was broken holding up that wheel and messing with a screwdriver

First time a piston on the brakes was stuck, and it wasnt even that dirty....just didnt want to move until we go the big C-clamp on it

Then when we almost had the wheels on it cut loose raining to beat the band.......everything got soaked....had to pull the whole operation inside the family room with my valk, just barley made it

All in all it was a great time and Dougs bike is running stronger and that is a good thing

I was impressed how well Belray waterproof grease held up, it had been 18K miles between greasing and all was perfect

Jeff...besides your skills for making fine cement counter tops, you wrench with the best of 'em!  If you were the excitable type you would have had reason today to kick the dogs several times.  You kept me calm by keeping an even keel and I sure appreciate it!  Are you up to helping me change the timing belts now
