I hate you right now, Bill! I have a 10 hour job ahead of me just to get it out. I can't even get the tap to bite on the first thread. Not only is it too risky to force the threads, but I want to be able to see in there and find out if there's anything else wrong. Plus, there seems to be a LOT of slop in the damper, so I'm thinking it's been wobbling for awhile and has worn away at the crank keyway. I may need a new damper, too. God forbid that the crank is damaged, it is a pricey lightweight jobber. I wonder if I had my chicken before the cart...er...the horse before the egg? Anyway...perhaps this has been loose for awhile and is the source of the vibration that caused all of my distributor problems last season. Who the f has ever heard of a crank bolt backing out? Grrrrr..... |
