You could also put the impact on about 100 ft lbs, and just keep at it for a while. I saw this suggestion in relation to stuck/corroded nuts and bolts.
Fortunately I have a big compressor and high end air tools. My impact gun will go to 500 ft/lbs. -----Original Message----- From: Walt Garcen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 1:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Arrrrrgggghhhh! My oil cap also is black plastic with a tab. Every 4-stroke bike I've ever owned had a similar cap. I have a '94. As far as the wheel nuts go - mine were tight the last time I removed the front wheel. Spray some liquid wrench on them a few night in a row and use a 1/2" drive impact wrench socket with the breaker bar. You might also try an automotive X-style lug nut wrench. This way you can push and pull and not worry about striping the flats on the nut. -----Original Message----- From: GTS-1000 Owners List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brandon Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 1:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Arrrrrgggghhhh!

It's black and has a 'tab' on it for gripping with the fingers. My buddies '94 is the same way. Do you think that your "friends" may have replaced it? Lost the original? Sounds strange. > Anyway, any suggestions on that last nut? Drive it over to a shop with professional air tools and let them get the nuts off. (Now, now, SA's..) After they loosen up 'em up, use your own tools right there and tighten them back up. Ride home and complete your repairs. I've done this before, though not with the bike. Shops have greater air pressure and industrial type tools, so flip em a tip if they don't charge you, it's always been worth it to me. Good luck.
