"There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till." Ralph Waldo Emerson

I don’t normally do quotes and certainly can’t say I know much about Emerson but that one seemed appropriate, and google is amazing.

After three weeks of fighting with this flywheel, getting the right puller, getting new bolts, spraying penetrating oil every night, making my own flywheel strap, torqueing and trying again and again and again every night, losing all hope………..I WIN!

I got that #$^@#%^&#@$%&#@$%@#$%^@#$% to come loose last night! Flywheel off! I WIN. I WIN. I WIN

I WIN.

Thanks to all for helping me get past this hurdle! Onward. ➡ ➡ ➡
