Everyone makes stuff ups the trick is to learn from these mistakes, only some
of us needs a lot more learning . Take fer instance my latest disasters I'm
striping down the Honda motor back to individual components for you beaut
performance goodies( if and when I can locate any) and for a good dose of blue
printing when disaster #1 strikes to split the cases you gotta remove the
clutch drum ( inner) and the clutch basket ( outer) which are secured by a
large nut ,I notice that this nut is staked to the shaft so I drill it out no
probs ,I then need Honda special tool #xyz to secure the inner and outer drums
together to undo this nut ,Mr skinflint makes his own ( bloody good one to)
secures said clutch drums places 32mm socket onto nut and attempts to turn nut
(no way Jose) gets long handle torque wrench ( this will get the mother) now
Im not a small bloke 240 lbs and 6 foot + big heave ho no go (cricky mate)
makes a call to Mr Honda ,no mate she's a right hand thread ,did you drill out
the tab that secures the nut ,yes well there tightened up to 100 ft /lbs .
place extension bar onto wrench ( if the fulcrum is long enough you can move
the world Mr Atlas) KERACK! outer clutch basket is now in two pieces nut 1-
mug punter 0 , much wringing of hands out comes HD tools 1&2 knockometer (
hammer) and cold chisel bang bang add nauesum nut 2- frustrated mug punter 0
righto big guns time gas axe ( oxy-acetylene ) heat mr nut bang heat bang heat
nut 3 - stuff what next 0 sharpen cold chisel bang x a gooleplex ( very big
number) nut finally splits in half is remaved drawn and quartered then burned
at the stake
Stay tuned folks for the next exciting adventure of how a stubborn 14mm crank
case bolt breaks a 14mm socket while rounding its head off and cracking the
crank case all at the same time learn how the daft mechanic copes with telling
the missus he;s gotta give next weeks morgage payments to Mr Honda .
