3D printing is so good now, hard to believe the larger parts are not getting printed.

Blue is rated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't think a normal hair dryer will get that hot.

Thanks for all the input, at the moment I'd rather keep trying the gentile approach, maybe stick it in front of a space heater for 30 minutes....but if none of that works I suppose I have to go full dentist.

The left hand drill might work, but you might need to heat to soften the loctite to get it out.

Should I heat lightly with a hair dryer or a lot with a heat gun?

Is the factory loctite like just blue or red loctite ?

Is there a way to edit a post? I looked but didn't see it...

There is a time limit to edit a post.

If the 86 is your bike put what you have in your signature in your profile, that way we all will know for future.

Sorry can't help with the choke cover, good luck.

You'd think someone would've 3D printed some of these.

Quote from: Pat Conlon on November 03, 2024, 08:45:48 PMTake some vice grips, bite down hard on that bitch, twist back and forth, and pull out. Like a deranged dentist pulling teeth.

If you're going to do that, make sure you put something in the hole to keep from crushing and breaking them off.
