Okay, since "search" isn't finding it for me I'll have to share my little tale:
A while back my little brother found a Kick laying around under the seat of an old tractor he was cleaning up. Naturally it was rusted basically solid
Anywho, it turns out that the Spirit plier jaws grab those knurled screws about perfectly, as do the jaws of his knock off Stanley multitool. So I was able to break down the kick and we got all the rust cleaned up. Other than a couple small pits here and there turns out it was mostly surface rust. The plier head was another story though, it was completely frozen. So we dropped it into a ziplock bag filled with Sea Foam Deep Creep (great frakin stuff BTW) and promptly forgot about it lol. Anywho, flash to 3 weeks later and my brother reports that the plier head has broken loose and seems to be working fine. So tonight I'm gonna head over to my Mom's (my ankle has healed enough for me to get around- woohoo!!) and reassemble it for him. Probably using my X-mas present that's waiting for me at home... Swisstool X!
Buuuut here's the problem...I no longer remember what order all the washers and implements go in
I separated the parts out by handle so that's no prob. but it's been too long for me to recall how the parts for each handle actually go.
The point to all this is that I could have sworn I saw a guide somewhere on taking apart and rebuilding a Kick, done by I think J-Sews maybe? But now I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone point me the right way or at least give me some pointers as to how the implements and washers are supposed to be stacked?\
Oh and PS: Turns out that Deep Creep molocules are actually small enough that stuff actually bleeds straight through the pours of a ziplock bag resulting in an oily coating on the outside of the bag. I thought that was cool as Hell.
