Any idea on how to loosen axel bolt?!

I haven’t taken the back wheel off the bike since I’ve bought it, went to loosen them today as my chain needed tightening and that bitch was beyond stuck. I tried loosing the little nuts on the side and and it maid no difference.

Ended up warping my Alan key and rounding of the nut in the process- any help on how to sort this kinda issue ? Would be much appreciated!

Mimaki UJV100-160 nozzle issues, anyone seen this before?

Hi all Of the r/commercialprinting sub.

I never got to thank everyone enough for the help with my last printing problem, but thank you all! We got our encoder replaced and i cleaned off the years of dried ink crap on our machine, but now we’re having more issues 😞

Please refer to photos,

The problem is our cyan and magenta heads? Or at least the nozzles on the head just stop working constantly after 1-2 prints

Now it seems that only the some specific number of nozzles are working on either colour and all the rest aren’t even working.

the problem disappears for a print or two after cleaning the heads. we’ve tried cleaned our capping station, I’ve done a FillUp Ink procedure and all of these haven’t really helped because the problem reoccurs after a print or two.

We’ve called techs who advised us to do the above but obviously to no avail.

Thanks for taking the time to read and lend a hand.

Sparkplug Diagnosis help

Hi everyone, hope yall are doin well.

Tryna diag a 125 ching chong supreme clapper

Tryna diagnose a bike otp but cant tell if its real rich or real oily. The bike choofs like a fkn steam engine when it’s running and it’ll bog on WOT.

It’s basically near impossible to start but for some reason when leaving it/letting it sit for a long while it’ll start up within a couple kicks, when riding it seems to just die randomly within a couple minutes of riding and it won’t start up at all basically.

I’ve tested the carb on another 125 and it works bloody amazing so i know the carb is not the issue.

Photo of plug for anybody interested

Thank you to all who are taking the time to read and lend a hand. Cheers.

Question, whats the best way to remove this mansory glue?

Previous owner put an ugly ass duck tail where an sti style spoiler was, you can see the outline of it.

I want to put that spoiler back on, managed to remove the old one with great difficulty but now I want to remove the rest of this so i can put the new spoiler on.

Thanks for any advice and hope everyone reading is having a good day.

Edit: not wanting to remove paint but if I have to I will.

just got an oil leak yesterday and today car “blew” and is leaking oil and won’t start.

my bf and i got an oil change on his car yesterday at walmart and today we were driving out of the city for a show, as we are 20 mins away from our destination we heard a “poof” from the car like a tire blew out and the car started smoking from the front. we immediately pulled over but we were in a terrible spot and the fire department had to come and take us safe off the highway. i took pictures of the leak i saw and what we saw in the dip stick….its bone dry. i cant see under the car obviously to see where exactly its leaking. but the car and battery still turns on just not the engine. we called walmart and told them but manager is on break so we are waiting for a call back. if anyone please can give any mechanical advice on what it could be and or what to do. we aren’t car people so we know nothing and the last thing we need is getting played or walmart acting as it wasn’t them etc. i’m just upset and frustrated. anything helps ;-;

UPDATE: motor is blown out. it was old and the people who sold us the car couldn’t guarantee how long it would’ve lasted, ( we got this a month ago for $1700) and it’s only at 146k miles. we have a 2002 toyota camry xle. yea im upset lol. will keep this up in case anyone is in the same situation

My kid’s crf50 forks

Trying to get my kid’s 50 running in mint condition… I’m a complete moron about these things. Are the forks supposed to have this bend? The angle matches on both sides.

Those who have rebuilt forks, can I get some help please?

Took these apart a little while ago, had them setup nicely so I would remember which way they went, due to unforeseen circumstances they got messed up AND i didn’t have a photo of how they went, anybody think they can lend a hand.

I’ve numbered for ease of explanation.

Thank you!

Has anybody experienced this and know a solution? Mimaki UJV100-160

We’re running a relatively large job at the moment on yuppo 150 media, we’ve done this many times before but we keep running into quality problems on this job, we’ve run head cleans and flushes but it’s not working.

How old do you think this drill press is?

I got given this a while ago, dusted it off and cleaned up a lot of the rust

I already have a drill press so this is really of no use to me, and I was wondering what we think its age was and how much it would go for.

I think the previous owner was a carpenter, his house got crushed by a tree and then sold to a kiwi bloke who fixed up the house and is almost done with it now, he was cleaning out the old mans stuff and gave me this with it.

I think it’s about 50 years old or like circa 1980s?

Thank you for the help!
