Message: [QUOTE="KTM400EXC#232, post: 25901, member: 22338"] G'Day trend setters, regarding the 8mm filter screen plug. * I have found that 8mm allen key sockets come in many different sizes. * This means that if you get one that is a loose fit it WILL strip out the plug regardless of what you do. * Measure the things before you buy, most are approx. 7.80mm, some 7.95mm, any smaller and you will have trouble. * Also torque the plug to specs, it seems that it may feel loose and in need of more, but at the correct torque they don't fall out. * Plus give the socket a good wack with a hammer prior to cracking it loose. ------------------ go on, brake late, my mum does!
