1) Yeah, I shouldn't have forced a failing brake's bolt. I couldn't keep the Ody's tight on the black spring side. I spend an undue amount of retightening the spring bolts. Annoying as hell.
The spring did fail under normal conditions, meaning it suddenly just lost all of it's tension.
2) I thought you liked sarcasm...jeeeeeezzzzzzeeeeee.
