I thought it was: "No reading this if you are easily offended" "Nonsense to pass time" "Needed banter on life issues" "Nuke or be nuked" "New way to make or lose friends" "Nobody understands the words you type" OR "Non" - what Kurt intended. "Swede" - NBS (Not Bogdan Swider)

I'm not here to write KLR stuff, but to read what the experts have to say. I write NKLR soley for entertainment purposes. Reading writing only KLR stuff can be boring. Keep you finger on the delete button and enjoy yourself. Shit has no life until it is properly stirred. I must say, I take a back seat to some of the shit that has been stirred here lately. -- bierdo

the . way to drill that bolt is to use a sharp pointed punch . put a dimple as close to center as possible then drill a hole in dimple with a very small drill bit make it as straight down the center of the bolt as you can then drill a slightly larger hole, then drill one the size you need for your extractor. fill hole and bolt area with plenty of -penatrating oil then tap the area lighty with a hammer for a minitute or two (this sets up a vibratiion that will allow the oil to get into the thread area) then use your extractor--this method will work about eighty percent of the time.the important thing is to get the hole as close to center as possible so that the extractor is applying the force in a circle and not on one side or the other. DO NOT get in a hurry you will only break drill bits ar drill in wrong spot or break extractor (on using extractor apply steady pressure) been there done that .more than once Jim Gregory Arkansas -- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Green" To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 1:22 AM Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: Oh, Sh*t! or The Down Side Of Doing It Yourself
