Could try cutting a groove in the top and use a small screwdriver to get it out. Or get some WD40 and heat on it. Ive got a mini blow torch/ soldering iron that works well for those little jobs.

you don't have much luck with VIS valves do you lol. Remember the chaos that time we tried to swap yours for mine haha

Smokey · 10-10-10, 02:22 PM

I certainly am not having much luck so far lol

Get some pics up so we can see the extent of the problem, will be easier to assist and give advice.

I'm sure Dreadnought have a tool for taking out broken wheel nuts, so it might work on this.

Might be worth a call to find out

Wee update on the VIS valves.

It appears that its the balance (rear one) that is not working. Would I be right in saying that the balance is the same as the power in respect that when you turn the ignition, they BOTH should reset to default position, allowing for refitting?

If this is the case, the power one is fine but the balance on has no motor turning when I turn the ignition?

Yep, if the unit has moved away from the homing position, as if it were stripped and re-assembled with the cam in mid-position, it should 'home' itself. Suspect a faulty motor, because it should rotate in either direction depending on which switch it is looking for. If the switch was faulty then the motor would continue rotating as there would be no signal to stop it.

Thats what I thought

Will have it out again and give it another attempt but I think Nor is going to assist with a replacement so will see how that goes too!

Still need to remove the damn screw from the manifold first though!

Smokey · 14-10-10, 05:12 PM

Well the screw issue has not been resolved yet but I refitted my repaired Power motor and my new Balance motor courtesy of Nor as tight as I could and took a test run. Kick is now there at 3k and the vis indicator is showing the correct sequence!!

Now to drill out those damn screws for a permanent fix!

Glad to hear they are all up and working
