| Oil Cooler Disaster ! Hi All ..continuing on with my general bike maintenance and overhaul, last night it was the turn of the Oil cooler and lines.. you know how crudded up they can get and mine was looking particularly grubby so off she came... straightforward enough - removing the lines from the cooler end however proved to be a bit of a protracted skirmish... ..me and my mate Dave (who's shed I keep my bike in) pondered the v.tight connections for a good while, but as is sometimes the case eventually it comes down to 'give it some and hope for the best'... so out with me best 19mm snapon combi... and u guessed it... snapped the fecker clean off at the base   ..so the next question is... has anyone swapped out their cooler for a shiny new earls or somesuch ? - I'm looking for a second hand one in the short term (much like me monoshock lol) - I'm not so much a cheapskate (honest  ) - but with 3 kids and two weeks in Gran Canaria looming in a fortnights time, not shelling out for shiny new bits is deffo the only way to keep sweet with the Mrs - not to mention retaining some of my more sensitive anatomical organs ..bit of a long shot I know but I thought I'd ask anyway.. cant think of a better place to pose a question like that - failing that I'll have to come up with a mending solution which aint gonna be easy cos of the way it broke... ho hum  Cheers  Dano  |
