Staffo my comment about trading up wasn't directed at but just a generalization. Yours was just the post where I decided to say something about it. I personally don't like the Tbird but I consider it a different bike not a step up or down even if I may have said I think of it as a step down.

I'm glad the taps with a hammer worked for you. That will work on many stubborn screws and bolts. Usually best results if you stop and do that before the head is damaged.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
