love this list!! have a question and immediately a hundred answers almost!!
and its from people who HAVE BEEN THERE!! thats the most important thing!!!
I plan on taking the fenders off but wanted to have a friend come look at
them before i do.  so think i will take fenders off and if i can get at
them......will work on the screws from front and back.  Have an impact dealy
but have not used it much......now plan on it.


also will now add another question.....when drilling bolts/screws does one
aim at just drilling the head off? and then drilling the remainder out?  or
go for drilling the whole thing out at once?  also.........when drilling the
complete screw out......i have heard two ways......drilling a small hole
which heats up the screw and also slightly collapses it so it can be screwed
out.......or drilling out the whole screw with a bit the size of the
screw......then tapping in a new one........

in other words .....should one be very careful to NOT drill the original
threads??  so they can be cleaned and used again?

by the way.......THANKS A MILLION.    and i hear you pat from victoria
B.C.!!!! That my problems are just beginning!!!1
