Another priceless top tip

Yes boys we've all come across the old chewed bolt in the master cylinder lid and after all attempts fail ie the impact driver then the impact drill the blow torch the Dremmel etc etc.

Well pin back your lugholes as I enlighten you,  what you do is drill a small hole in the centre of the chewed bolt then gat a torx bit 15 maybe 20 and hammer the bastard in there I don't mean gayboy tappety tap I mean hammer the ****er home then Fay Presto out she comes 😉  see sideways photos provided below.

Genius. Simon. Be honest this is a job application for a head of technical engineering role within the new Trump Administration (after mucky Musky gets the boot?) ain't it?

The countersunk screw heads normally corrode into the lid.

I just drill the top of the screw off take the lid off then unscrew the remaining stump with mini mole grips.

Job application my ass!!
I am now fully retired and have just qualified for the old age pension in NZ yippee 200 English nicker a week which is just enough for an hour with a noodle muncher followed by fish n chips.


Yes F the old drill it out and remove stump with maul grips is a valid alternative method but we don't always have an electric drill with us on the trail do we sir?

As you know all my trail tips are compatible with the availability of minimal tools ie a torx bit and a hammer, if no hammer is to hand a size 10 motorcycle boot may be used, similar to the one on your right foot as you attempted to show your Husqvarna a thing or two.

Either that's an expensive fish and chips, or the noodle muncher has ripped you off.
£200???

I've paid less for a bike

Far be it for me to point out that your original tip involved drilling a hole before smashing in a torx bit but your "on the trail" method requires a cordless drill, drill bit, hammer, torx bit, socket and wrench for torx bit.

Also required is a spare master cylinder assembly after you have snapped it off hammering the torx bit in which actually negates the need for all previous tools mentioned.

You could fashion a drill implement from a ohmagoolietree no doubt.

Maybe carry a comprehensive tool kit, spare engine wheels etc and of course an ht lead. You may find a copy of fix my motorcycle for dummies invaluable or perhaps take a mens magazine to give you something to do whilst someone else is fixing it, maybe a noodle muncher?

Take drugs: Just say yes and hope for the best or plan for better response? I think equip yourself with a pneumatic jack hammer and if something pisses you off, don't just kick it, get your jack hammer out and destroy it Holiday happy
