Looks like you guys had as much fun playing with the 400 as we did...  We managed to get the cylinder bolts clear without shearing (which one definitely wanted to do) off by tapping the business end of the breaker bar with a hammer, while keeping the pressure on. Hope it all worked out for you.
Always nice to have a spare set of hands around!

Cheers,
Peggy

  That particular stud was bound up but not tight leading me to believe it was cross threaded. We decided Dave should take it to Jeff before we twisted it off and made a real mess. Mechanics mechanic and machinists machine. CHEERS.

I had a great time, unfortunate to get stuck on that bolt but I learned some new techniques on getting them out and a few new words as well hahahaha.

Thanks for taking some pics Mike and a big thanks to Wayne for coming out and sharing your wisdom. I learned lots just from the running conversation and really appreciated the hang out time. Very impressed by the ski bow as well.

While we were stuck on that bolt Ben go some repairs to a snowblower done so at least one project got completed haha.

Hope to see the same crew and more next year! I think I am just going to bring a modification and not a repair project next year.
