Now then all, just a quick update on the bike painting progress.
I've not done an update for a while as the real world has been getting in the way...
Last weekend, when attempting to remove the exhaust heat shields for painting, I came across an issue that is proving quite common on the XT, the mounting bolts were seized!
I tried to use the time old technique of penetrating oil and smacking it with an impact driver, but with no success. I just rounded off the nut.
So, out with the dremel and turn a hex bolt into something that could be opened with a flat blade screwdriver, and would you believe it, my bodge worked!
