Man, what was the final straw that made you actually do it? Was it the white smoke getting worse or did something else break? I'm just curious because I've got a buddy with a 7.3 that's been blowing a little haze for months and he keeps saying he'll get to it.

I read that same tip on a different forum too and it actually worked for me.

And the thing nobody mentions is how they actually save your hands and wrists from long term damage... I know three old school smiths who have arthritis so bad they can hardly grip a hammer anymore.

...and that's just how it goes with a lot of stuff these days, isn't it? I mean, it feels like everything's made to break way quicker than it used to. My mom always says they don't make things like they did in the 80s, and honestly, I think she's onto something. You pay a premium price and expect it to last, but they're all just cheap gears and plastic inside now. It's a real shame they ghosted you on the warranty too, that's the worst part.

Oh man that's genius honestly. Short videos really do work better than typing out a wall of text nobody reads. Might steal that idea for my own folks actually.
