Noob question time...

[matr!]

I searched.
I can't get my brake back on. I don't know why, the bolt is fine, the brake is fine, it's the motherfucking spring. The bolt won't go through the spring, so I push/compress the spring down as far as humanly possible and it won't go. I tried with 2 different springs. Is there a special way to put a brake on? I have a MGP sig deck and brake if that helps

Every time if i take my brake off a razor ultra pro, i have to mess with it like over half hour.Thats really hard to get it back...

Yeah same with me, its pretty hard/tricky.
What i do is put something in there (a long bolt or something) thats smaller that the hole or maybe the same size to align them first, preferably not the bolt your using. You might have to hammer it through.
Then try to get the bolt through without damaging the threads on it.

NOTE: Pushing the brake down/moving it around HARD can align the spring/everything better.

Its pretty fiddle-e.
Or make a flexfender like i did

 

[matr!]

Righto thanks

How'd you make a flex fender?

Bent a piece of metal, bolted it onto my deck.

K sounds easy. Any kind of metal works? Did you get the instructions off the web?

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

search in google and someone asked how to on sr

 

[matr!]

yer I found that. So if I drill it to the top of my deck the bolts will get in the way?

it's hard and very tricky, take it easy, take your time.
Aluminium is the best, as it bends easy.
And no, i didnt.

 

[matr!]

So will the bolts get in the way?

 

[Zaηe]

no, and they wont get in your way especially if you get ones with really flat heads.

 

[matr!]

So, I bolt it to the top part of the deck, and the bolts shouldn't get in the way?

 

[Michael Higgins]

yes u drill the top and a little circle so the bolt can sit flush with the deck and put a nut on the otherside

 

[Michael Rankin]

No worries, just check the dates next time.

 

[matr!]

check the dates? WTF? SO the way I read that I drill the hole, then drill a hole the size of the nut head halfway in so the bolt sits flush? What if I fuck up my deck?

 

[Rob.]

mike do you have your head in the clouds?
anyway, have you tried.. threading it in? i know it sounds retarded but it helps me sometimes and if it works you have a dialled brake.

like.. pushing it doesn't work sometimes, rotate the bolt clockwise.

 

[Michael Higgins]

search on youtube its not that hard to instill it. the hardest part would be making it unless u bought one.

 

[matr!]

yeah but the spring just won't go on. Even if I thread it in

 

[Zaηe]

So, I bolt it to the top part of the deck, and the bolts shouldn't get in the way?

brake goes inside the deck.
no the bolts wont get in the way.

 

[matr!]

Yeah I know the brake goes inside the deck, but it gets attached to the top part of the deck not the bottom
