This thing is stubborn as hell, and there’s little to no space to pull.

Tried lubricating the O ring and mating surface with engine oil, dish soap, and silicone lubricant… nothing. Please tell me someone has an idea.

I’m highly confused about what happened today. Went to use my M2 after a couple of weeks having been away, and it wasn’t pulling away. I thought maybe the handbrake had seised on, gave it a bit more gas back and forth to wiggle free… horrible rubbing noises.

Got out to have a look at the back and it looked like it’s been un-tastefully slammed. One coil appeared to be out of place, and another clearly snapped. This is on a stock car with 24k miles.

I was so confused as it was perfectly fine when I last drove it, I had a look back through my CCTV half expecting someone to have shunted it. But randomly in the middle of night, bang! Slammed.

Any idea what happened? Can’t imagine this is normal. I found a couple of references to snapped coils on forums. Anyway thought I’d share seeing as the video is kinda unbelievable.
