If you need time to raise $, I've had friend coat then in POR15, that tool rubber dip, and even tape all with fair results, till they raised $. I need to start riding more Suzuki's, the Yamaha ones I've purchased were quite a bit more pricey than that.
Thanks for the help all. One thing about text is that there's nothing denoting inflection. I wasn't being combative. I just assumed you knew I wouldn't replace something if it was repairable..
That being said, I just went ahead and got them and they came with some other parts so it wasn't a total ripoff.... I guess. Free shipping was the pro to getting them off eBay. I assume everything will come out in the wash, but like my dad always said, "mind the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves."
A lot of people replace them because they feel dry rotted and hard as a rock and are hard to use after sitting for many years, but a good soak can cure that and save you from replacing them.
They had cracks and were not keeping a good vacuum. The previous owner widely/stupidly sealed it with fire calk. It was stupid because that junk is super messy and it's not the right way to do it. It was wise because that stuff makes a great silicone seal that is also heatproof.
It looks like he stripped the Phillips screws that were holding then on as well. Any ideas on how to get then off? My first inclination is to drimmel then into flatheads. Is that dumb?
My wife just told me that I can set the flat part of a rubber band and set it over the screw head and then try to unscrew it. It sounds reasonable. Then she cited the source of her info as pinterest, so I have my doubts. Can anyone confirm this?
So the solution wasn't the impact and I didn't have to get ez outs. The drimmel didn't work so well because the flathead would barely fit and I couldn't put enough pressure on it and then twist as well. Impact wouldn't fit. Gramps showed me a cool trick. Basically you take a chisel and a hammer, angle the chisel so that when you hit it, the screw spins loose. I'm not sure why I didn't think about doing that. Channel locks will also work where they fit. I bought some hex heads from lowe's in the same size. Never gonna strip those out.
