Not a good day.

   While replacing the emergency brake shoes on my Tahoe I broke a #12 machine screw off.  Now the axil has to come out of the diff. so the screw can be drilled and taken out.  I could have taken it out but I gave up and took it to a friends shop.  Cant wait to see the bill.

I'll give you $300 for the Triumph to help out an OLD friend ... that way you can get one of these to fix the Tahoe:




Sorry about you troubles ...

Sorry. The Tramp will be the last thing to go.

It was worth a shot ...  

Man, I hate it when I break something I don't have the ability to fix myself.  

ya man , freaken motor on my wood splitter took a dump today , the sorry old engine and splitter has had some hard miles befor it was givin to me , darn thing still wants to run , but the crank or rod  broke the case and it was making a bunch of noise , its junk , neightbor stopped by a month ago and gave me a old 50ton electricc hydro pump with a self contained pump , it came off a old press with a short cycl , the wood splitter would need more oil with the longer ram , haven't got a clue on how to convert this over and run my wood splitter , any ideas would be much welcomed joe or any 1 that sucks wes when ya break them case harden screws are hard to remove , when I worked for buick in the crank deptment ,, I use to be a repair man for getting out broken drills bits out of the crank shalf oil galley holes , we use to have a burning machine , looked like a big drill press , but it was a burning rod that was suppose to burn the broken drill bit out , some we couldn't save , sorry about that , I know I hate it when that happens  good to hear i'm not the only 1 that happens to ,   

Sorry Trip. I know the frustration.

I broke two seals on my Kaw water pump ($28 each) before finally giving up and taking it to the shop. Haven't seen the bike in 2 weeks and haven't ridden it in a month. Pissing me off.

I understand the frustration. My Hoe was in the shop over night. Took the mechanic two hours to get the broke bolt out without pulling the axle and adjusted the emergency brake while in there. I think I got out cheap at $100.

I'll say you did!

Last time he helped me I gave him a gift card to a nice restaurant so he could take his wife out.

So...what about this time there Trippster?!

Do you have a blue bike??? hmmmmm

100 bucks was well worth it , its right now , all ya got to do is get in it and go , I work on a lot of junk around here , but this last year i'v been taking our truck to the local repair shop for all the fixing , my son useally works on it for me , but he is way to busy with his job , so I try not to bother him , makes me mad , I use to do all my own wrenching , bad back made it to hard to move like a monkey anymore , I still look like a monkey and act like 1 , but don't move like 1 ,
