Zero Knievel Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well, I opted to put the frame caps on my XX to make the holes look a bit nicer. You are warned on the packaging to test fit the caps as all 4 holes are not identical in size. Well, on one side, I test-fitted the small cap, but it was too small. Well, let me say it better....it went right in and got stuck. I tried everything I could to pull it back out. I even got some slim tools and tried to see if it could be used to get a hook and pull it back out. No luck. What I wound up doing that worked (should have done this first), is that I took the nut off the other side and used a brass drift to drive the bolt out the other side. The bolt popped the cap right out. Now I have one brand new frame cap with a scored up edge because I didn't think of this step first. FYI should it happen to you.

Zero Knievel Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 It's not a matter of paint, but of finish. It got a bit scored up trying to pull it back out and some work with a fine rasp helped, but not enough. Good thing it's not very noticeable unless you look closely.

TOXXIC Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hard contact lense suction cup comes to mind. (Unless you have worn hard contacts you might not get the joke.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
