Stuck Oil Cap?

Good on yer Sean!
It's all worth knowing when you have a bike!
It has probably helped in your understanding of the potential problem.

 

Surgery a success! Dr repaired 3 hernial tears (fun pain). Superman is on the mend..

Good luck Thruccy.

 

Glad you got it undone and without damaging it too. The grips I was referring to are these: https://www.raygrahams.com/products...spx?pv=55681&gclid=cid32i7x3dmcfue17qodxpeaqw
I use them all the time, mole grips are useful too but these have a much wider range of applications imo.
The new cap looks like a larger pitch thread so you did right but not trying to do it up further.
As for the 50p, put it on the road, hammer it flat, buy Curly Wurley

 

The best mechanic at my work has a tool kit that looks like scrap

My toolbox looks like scrap and I think I'm the best mechanic at work!
A distinct lack of interest and the ability to be easily distracted
means I usually get left to my own devices
DILLIGAF by name and by nature
It's on my work tool box

 

Neat looking toolbox that dilligaf, it has drawers and tote boxes! Most impressed!
I take it there's a strong Sunderland v Newcastle rivalry going on in your workshop.

 

Stops folk borrowing and pinching stuff, always leave a few strategically sharp bits in there as well for good measure, just don't forget where you put them when you're rummaging yourself.

 

Aye mate workshop in middle of Newcastle
I'm the only Sunderland fan in their
Makes me very popular though!

 

Oh man! I bet the piss-taking and banter is ace!

 

Since I started there 4yrs ago Sunderland won 6 in a row drew 1 lost 0 against Newcastle
Even this season we've always been at least one place above them
All changes now though

 

Remember that one mate
I stayed till full time
