Joolz has taken it to his work to get the stud drilled out

**Joolz_850R** · Wednesday 30th March 2011, 12:44

Stud is done and it was an absolute B*****d to get out. Th stud was as hard as hell to get at. Needed a carbide drill bit in the end. Im away from home tonight but tomorrow is cancelled so I can get it to you Thursday evening mate. If you want I can set the actuator up for you while it is here. What pressure do you want?

cured the water leak, now just an oil leak it seems to be coming from the oil return pipe at the top end although this is bolted up tight with a new gasket

**Volvostorm** · Saturday 9th April 2011, 21:24

Might have a piece of the old gasket still on there, or the flange could be slightly warped.
