So went for plan B: i have this tool that create thread in aluminium (sorry don't know the technical word in English) and used it in the plastic to loosen everything up.
It worked but now its too loose
i mean it can get screwed in / out very easily which i believe that with some serious racing some will get unscrewed.
Thought of putting some CA or epoxy in order to create some grip.
What would you suggest
Thanks
Hey Speed6
I also had this problem when i built my kit.
Once i completed the kit, and now it was time to set the car up.
That is when i found this same problem. But it only happen to me with the rear hubs.
I took a closer look. The rear hubs are made of a different plastic.
And i could not turn the pillow balls in reverse with my huby hand driver.
I removed the lower arms with rear hub still attatched.
I Used my wife hair dryer. (When she wasnt around) lol.
With very little heat to the area, and a L shape
allen key tool which will give you more leverage.
This will help the plastic contract and retract.
Pillow ball should loosen a bit for adjustment.
Hope this help. But you may have already made the holes
to big useing that tap set.
