Re: [A/S] loose rock guard was - speaking of rock guards...
Roy,
You bring up an interesting point. I assume that A/S thoughts were
to hinge the guards to allow you to clean behind them. I haven't
tried to do this yet, mostly because the side opposite the hinge
requires a wrench to remove the nuts that secure that side..too much
effort at this point and not enough dirt to clean. I wonder why they
didn't come up with some other means to secure this side?
One other person posted problems with the hinge pin. I am concerned
when I see things like hinge pins coming out and wonder if sometimes
its better off not to mess with these things and not exercise these
hinges.
Hinge pins come out for reasons, of which I don't always know why.
I'm sure its a physics thing. I have a hinge pin on my door that
started to work its way up. When in Jackson Center I had the service
center take care of this. They said the realigned the door and they
put some nice metal compound on the top of the hinge pin which sealed
over and silvered the spot. Now I notice that the pin is raising
again. Not much but the seal they placed is starting to bulge.
Obviously this pin doesn't want to stay put.
