SOURCE: hi,trying to replace pads on

could probably use a center punch to flair the keyhold to the center of the hole and then tap new wrench into allen head hole. I would try heating the point where the threads are entered by the bolt. The mount is probably part of the wheel mount on the forks. Heat it enough to make it expand and contract, But not enough to melt and discolor the metal. It is a tedious job. Aluminum alloy expands a lot with small does of heat. It will make the threads expand arond the bolt. try some good penetrating fluid, like PBS or WD-40, etc. Just be careful with the flame. I would keep a fire extinguisure handy. If you are not comfortable with this, then I would suggest a good bike shop. It would be pricey but a safe bet to have the job done. It takes a lot of patience. I have never found one of those with left hand threads. Left hand threads are usually used in a situation where here is a chance of a rotating member turning the bolts out in the directon of the rotation. There is nothing rotating around the fastners on the calipers. I have removed bolts like that before by welding a new bolt inside the key hole, but I have alot of experince at that and know how to sheild all surrounding parts from damage from the welding process. The combination of the high heat and the new bolt usually make the bolt turn out with no problem. The expansion ratial is enormous at the high heat levels.

SOURCE: were is the seat release on a suzuki rf600

The release is either on the front or rear or there is a bolt holding the seat on.

My best advice however is to call up a suzuki dealer and ask them.

I own a metabo 9-125 quick but can't don't know how to place the blade

On the silver part on top of the grinder is a button , press this button and hold it down. now turn the blade until it stops moving, this locks the blade, keep holding the button down and turn grinder over ,and turn the nut counter clockwise, and remove it , take old blade off ,put on new one .it should go over the shaft and at the bottom on a "fit" Make sure it is on the "fit". replace the nut and tighten. If you dont get the nut tight enough it will loosen while in use and the disc you are cutting/grinding with will wobble and may even come off causing possible injury .

How to Replace a Car Ignition Switch

What You'll Need
If you are facing problems with ignition start, then the time has come to replace the car ignition switch. An ignition switch is located on the dashboard or the steering column of the car. It serves various functions such as activating the starter and the ignition system. It also routes the current to various car accessories like the radio, music system, door control mechanisms and lighting system. Problems with an ignition switch lead to a host of other problems like being unable to start the car, inability to start the music system, and others. Here are some pointers if you need to replace your ignition switch.

Step 1 - Remove the Steering Column
Disconnect the battery cable from the battery terminal. Next, disconnect the steering column by taking out the screws. Remove and pry the fasteners off as well. This can be done with the help of a screwdriver or a socket wrench.

Step 2 - Detach the Wiring
steering wheel

Remove the wiring harness which connects itself to the ignition switch. It is located on top of the steering column. Disconnect the horn wire and remove the nuts and washers. Detach the wiper of the windshield and turn off the signal switches. Finally disconnect the wiring.

Step 3 - Test the Switch
Examine the ignition switch. This is done with the help of a test light. The test light glows when the key is in the start position. With the key in the off position, the test light should not glow. If the ignition switch works fine, the output on the test light would indicate so.

Step 4 - Install the New Switch
Detach the nuts or screws which hold the steering column and the ignition switch. Use a screwdriver or a socket wrench for accomplishing this task. Remove the faulty old switch and replace it with a new one.

Turn off the ignition switch and insert your key in the switch. Free the cylinder by depressing the retaining pin. Get the key again to the lock point and take out the key. Ensure that all the holes are lined up properly. If this is not the case, then the switch will not be properly installed with fasteners.

Step 5 - Secure the New Switch
Screw and bolt the new switch to the steering column with help of a fastener. Attach the wiring and the steering column back to its normal position. Replace and restore the housing with fasteners again. Ensure that the cylinder and assembly are properly aligned. Reattach the various switches and the mounting screws.

To replace a car ignition switch is not easy, especially in the newer cars. These cars are installed with devices such as the anti-theft which makes the task more challenging. Refer to the manual for pointers on working with such anti-theft devices.
