        Put some valve grinding compound into the head of the screw before putting your screwdriver in. The compound will help the screwdriver "bite".

            The caliper looks great like that Joe. We need to go riding when you get done.

                That long already, it seems like it was just a month ago. I guess for you it seems like ages.

                  Tore down the right front caliper, looked pretty good no pitting at all on the piston or the cylinder. Just cleaned them up real good, greased the pins and put them back on. Leaving them black.

                    They are metallic gray, the lighting was not very good in the pic

                      You guys say a weekend and I'll try and get up there to ride as well. My sister has been harping on me to come up and visit so I'll do that and bring the bike.

                        Will do. There's someone from here in San Antonio that wanted to meet up with us too. Just have to remember who it was.

                            I believe it is (1928fordtudor) we have spoke a few times, looking forward to it.

                                Looks nice so far.
