baldrocks !!!'n. Crankcase end cap!!!!

Post by BrianC »

Why did honda make this out of chocolate !!!!!

10mm hex key was pretty slack as the cap looks like someone has been at it before.

Just using a bar on the hex key and it's just cutting through the cap - tried the impact driver - no chance

Ideas guys ??? Am I going to have to drop the oil and get the whole cover off ?

Tap in a bigger size hex and a few gentle taps as you turn
TIP; Never take a sleeping pill and laxative on the same night
