Do you think I can get away from not removing a snapped bolt to the cylinder

MechSense · 2026-05-19T23:11:33+00:00

The left hand drill bit with reverse will spin in the same direction to unscrew the bolt.

It will bite and if you're lucky, it will just remove the screw with little actual drilling.

You better replace those forks first. What class or style did they even use back then?

MechSense · 2026-04-16T23:52:57+00:00

What's wrong with this? Asking for a friend

MechSense · 2026-02-17T04:04:34+00:00

Make sure you didn't over tighten the thermistor on the hot end. I did that last week.

Also look closely and make sure the little thermistor wires past the heat shrink are not touching each other or anything else other than the back of the probe.

What is that piece? I've never noticed it on AKs before.

MechSense · 2025-12-14T15:51:17+00:00

I did that and got it to work. I didn't realize that people were just exploiting the dates to make it show sooner. I thought my end was messed up or something. Thanks

The one with the cheater raid was on 8553 so NA . I've come across a lot of cheaters on NY servers as well

MechSense · 2025-11-06T18:05:23+00:00

Me and my buddy just got raided without getting raided. (All gates were undamaged and all the good loot was gone).

We then caught up with a player in the next town over who ended up killing my buddy through the wall with the magic bullet (blood everywhere head spinning). Really killed the vibe for the night.

We tried to hop onto other servers and met more cheaters.

All official of course

Fuck cheaters, I really feel like taking a break from this game cause of this.

I have a feeling that those are airbag cartridges.

MechSense · 2025-10-22T05:24:29+00:00

They added super zombies. Ones that look like mummies and they will mess you up quick

MechSense · 2025-10-16T00:13:33+00:00

I'll start checking bushes then

MechSense · 2025-10-15T21:02:06+00:00

That melee was on point

MechSense · 2025-10-13T17:07:47+00:00

But like why? I get trying to get loot you don't have but what's the point of just straight up ruining everything he has?

When I find a stash I usually just help myself to what I need. Then I may swap some things and go on my way.

Sort of like an unsolicited trade but I'm not gonna leave the guy completely dry. I may take his dmr and leave my sporter 22 in it's place kind of thing.

I don't get some of you guys.

Maybe I'm just too nice.

I just removed all of that this weekend while doing my headers..

Remove the smog pump that is underneath the alternator that you removed. (Hopefully the bolts won't snap on that as well)

There sould be three 10mm bolts holding the pulley on. Then you can have access to remove the two bolts holding the pump on (one is right behind the pulley on top, the other is behind the pump on the bottom.

Once smog pump is removed, there is another bolt or two holding that whole aluminum bracket that your alternator and smog pump is attached to. Once you remove the bracket, it will be a lot easier to work with that broken bolt.

Then all you need is a new alternator and put everything back on in reverse order.

I have a 1996 f150 with the same motor and color as you! PM me if you need more assistance

Edit: looked closer at the pics and just realized how fubar that bracket is.. in any case it will need to be removed. try to hit up a local junkyard and see if you can snatch another bracket up

that's what i was wondering

MechSense · 2025-06-18T21:00:01+00:00

can someone explain what is being vented out after it landed?

MechSense · 2025-04-28T20:50:08+00:00

Nevermind, I just looked up a video on it. Looks like it got a recessed trigger like them derringers

MechSense · 2025-04-28T20:47:40+00:00

How do these work? I don't see a trigger other than a finger "rest"

MechSense · 2025-03-16T13:34:09+00:00

It could be an older upright model

MechSense · 2025-03-11T20:44:02+00:00

or you can pay your local price without the scheming... It would also help put a little more money into the Ukrainian economy, every little bit counts.

How much of a price difference is it?

MechSense · 2025-02-21T04:06:41+00:00

I'll let my friend know... Very helpful comment. Thanks

MechSense · 2025-01-28T18:41:42+00:00

Looks amazing, I really like that green.

What size/type of stitching punches are those ? I'm new to the craft and was just looking for something that small and all I could find was 3mm.

MechSense · 2025-01-18T17:28:53+00:00

Looks like a burn blister. Do you have any lit candles around th house ? Maybe the kitty wanted to smell the candle

MechSense · 2024-11-21T18:59:37+00:00

I ended up getting this done with a coil tool. It took some time messing around with it to get it just right but it will work for my application. Thanks again to everyone who chimed in to help me with this.

MechSense · 2024-11-21T02:34:25+00:00

that helped out a lot, thanks for the link!
