That one bolt that just won't let go

after a few drinks the flies appeared to have learned more evasive maneuvers and harder to hit..."Even flies fear the sting of death". -

I have a can of Nitrogen spray (my pathologist friend gave it to me. He uses it to freeze tissue samples) He and I heated and then sprayed several 1/4 x 28 bolts that i was working on removing one evening. It worked. The nitrogen spray is good for zapping flies in mid air also. -

I Always tried just a lot of heat in one place...to expand the threaded piece and not the bolt.. -

Checking weight specifications of Aluminum vs Steel I found a 20% weight reduction. However, that amount to only about 100+lbs on a 8 X 5 ft trailer frame. -

Foreman has 5 speed manual. I do not notice the electric power steering. In fact, he is a handful to control. But I am small. The "noClutch " shifting took some getting used to. At first I automatically pulled the left brake when shifting as I am used to my Kaw 1000 clutch on the left LOL. I hold on in first gear as he will want to jump out from between my legs when we get moving.

I want to have a lighter trailer...Aluminum ...that I can pull with my Highlander AWD with my 1450Lb Yamaha SXS. Its 122 " X 64" w 84 inch WB. Has any one fitted out a naked frame aluminum trailer like that...I found Northern Supply has one < $900 but it is 5 Ft x 8 ft. -

Question: 2000 Yamaha blaster rear brakes
jen replied to Rick Shropshire's topic in General ATV Discussion
Before I changed the Primary Clutch Mr. AR had no get up and go even on a slight grade, I rebuilt the Primary and the secondary clutches. I installed in the aftermarket belt and it was an improvement but still not great. Once i could get him moving he had a lot of power in some deep mud and up hill. Then Ka-boom! That belt exploded. there wasn't but a few a pieces larger than 1/4 inch! Definitely a bad hair day! Hard surfacing aluminum (sheaves) is difficult. There are varieties of methods. I am familiar with ferrous metal hardening or at least prenil testing of same on large industrial drive rollers. Typically with ferrous metals it is the very thin surface that is hardened. Once you wear through that it is soft metal. I expect aluminum is the same. After the belt 'exploded' i noticed another "grove forming . So replaced that primary and new OEM belt. Now he is Ready even climbing on from a dead start. -
Question: 2000 Yamaha blaster rear brakes
jen replied to Rick Shropshire's topic in General ATV Discussion
Hmmmm...I had an aftermarket belt that I Micd' width and length was correct. It lasted 4 miles! Factory belt with new primary in there now. I'll check wear next spring. I can strip pretty fast. I bought the plastic rivets. I made a secondary compression tool. (Looks like A Rube Goldberg tool..LOL). And unfortunately I am experienced in working on 'Mr Always Ready., Yamaha 700 SXS.
