If you take your time and think about what you are doing you will get the job done twice as quick than if you try to race it. If you are not sure then please ask (for your own safety) here because the moderators, who are a great bunch of guys are waiting to help every member if they can. cheers2


The nut wasn't holding because the shaft that it was on was a little worn but your advice on safety is appreciated.
