RE: scary as hell!
i guess the scariest part is that i wasnt even hammering it as hard as normal!

RE: scary as hell!
Glad your OK last weekend I snapped all the bolts on my pulley. It jammed against the wheel and locked. Was feeling something strange as I wound it up to 50+ hitting 3rd. then BANG ....stuff flying and a hell of a scare. Waited over 3 hours for a tow. Have no clue what went wrong. These are grade 8 bolts. none backed out. I have done some work and she does put out a lot of torque but it takes a lot of force to snap these bolts. what a RUSH. Repair and ride on.
