gas spark explosion! working with my hands mentally relaxes me I have played with bikes (pedal and motor) and messed with cars. Luckily I have the best wife who understands my "Mechanical Issues". Now I am restoring a Burley Samba for us to ride as I go thru it

Rain ruined a good Sunday
My nemesis for the day was the pedal support sub structure and the M/C's
first I wanted to remove the Brake M/C I have Metric Flare wrenches but guess what only one fitting was metric, now I need to by a tool - oh the pain
so the next move was to unbolt the M/C's and pull the pedal support
pedals came out with no effort

Another item that needs to make an appearance in the sandblasting cabinet
most of my time was spent trying to get my hand and a wrench in to the support box the undo the M/C bolts - longer ones are on the top
and then all the bolts holding this to the body
I do know that the one located at 5 o'clock on the layout will be replaced with a cap hex head - talk about no clearance!
well as you can see in the photos this area was soaked in Hydraulic Fluid
clean that up an closed everything off because "the rain is a coming"
