Everything was going along so well. Slow going, but well enough. After getting my wheels back on the bike I got to try out my lower blocks I installed. The gear shift and brake really needed to be adjusted. Shifting arm of course was a piece of cake. I lowered the brake pedal as low as I could and of course it wasn't far enough. So I go back to VeeferCanuk's thread here:http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/34097-bls-footpeg-block-install/?p=408490 The part specifically that started this whole damnedable mess was trying to figure out how to take off the nut that Veefer circled in red here: If you go to the bottom of the brake pedal, there is that gold square. How the F#@K do i get that thing off? I go to the service manual - it just says to take the whole goddamned off without saying how! I find there is a cotter pin on the opposite side, but I mangled it trying to get it out and it broke leaving half of it in the hole. Then I figure I'll take the rearset off. The sonofabitch muthafricken heat shield bolts are soft as butter and strip out on the first attempt to loosen them. I finally get both of them off, but I'll have to buy new ones. Now that it is loose, I find the entire fucking thing is attached somehow via a cable or hose. I JUST WANT TO ADJUST MY GODDAMED BRAKE PEDAL. Now I am down at least another week while I wait for the stupid bolts to put back into the heat shield. I am to the point I am about to bend the goddamned pedal. Do they make an adjustable pedal? I normally don't like doing mods that are not reversible, and bending the pedal would be one of them. Sorry for my language, but I literally just came inside from dealing with that damn thing. My blood pressure is through the roof. I have no patience and no goddamned skill when it comes to mechanical objects and it frustrates me to no end.
