Engine parts are stronger than you initially think.
I also sometimes have something stuck.

But don't get me wrong. Wink

I am willing to do what is necessary.
Here you see me, descending into a volcano, with motorbike parts.

And I have a whole range of hammers, so that I can always use the right tool for the job.

Ore, just take a run ub.

I have heard in the corridors that they are thinking about banning you. Smiley

Not entirely wrongly,
we have enough misery with corona and stuff.

Get her done.

Zeven is right crappity smack it - you're turning it, the same action it does in real life. Cool. Srinath.

See, not only does he come up with the best idea - crappity smack it - and don't fu(k like old people, he also has the best part to replace it.

Now crappity smack it. Horizontal - spin it. Then it will work itself out.
Cool.

Here is the latest technology invented in 1056 BC, Hit the drucking thing with frozen dead animal leg sideways.
Then in 101 AD they invented to hit it with a tree limb.
In 1001 AD they invented to hit it with a precisely shaped tree.
Then 2001 AD they invented a wooden stick with a chunck of car tire.
Then in 2020 they invented the car tire on a stick with Corona Virus.
Just hit it man. Sideways. Rotation is 1/2 of removation.

Cool.

Ok I try, a different approach. Cool

This is a rare moment when you get the chance to look at your upper triple clamp in an aloof and detached way. Imagine a gentle breeze, refreshing, tonifying, clearing your mind of all unnecessary clutter.

And look at your Trippelclamp frome a distans....

Tel me, what do you feel?

(So i can work whit that)
