Cut a slot with a hacksaw or Dremel tool, then use a slotted screwdriver. Is this for Santa Clara? Any photos of Menlo Park for me? Tom Dowling -----Original Message----- From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] On Behalf Of Marcos Peixoto Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 2:42...

Marcos - You can definitely cut a slot deep enough where the amount of torque you can apply will be GREATER than what you could have applied with the proper security bit. In the meantime, you can put a drop of penetrating oil on the screws in question. Good luck! -= Darell =-...

Greg, Great tip - I'll try and let you know if it works. This LPI Gen 2 is a bit rusty - I hope I'll be able to generate enough torque to extract the screws. Marcos --- Greg Brewsaugh <[email removed]> wrote: > Find a Dremel or similar cut-off tool, cut a slot in > the screw h...

Could be a difference in definitions, especially given the importance of the number in the automotive industry. Horsepower for a given engine will vary with speed and load (and perhaps temperature and other variables), so the measurement method has to be standardized. Of cours...

Find a Dremel or similar cut-off tool, cut a slot in the screw head and use a slotted screw driver. Worked for me with a Gen 2+ SPI. No worries. (Schooled by Darell.) Greg Brewsaugh On 5/7/07, Marcos Peixoto <[email removed]> wrote: > > I have a need to borrow a 5-tip security...

Pat, I'm not sure myself but if some of the trucks have the 100kW motor and some don't there could be some reasons for it. It could either be that the truck went through EVBones, and got a horsepower upgrade or it could be the differences in the two model years the truck was i...

Tom, Thanks for the reply. My serial number starts with SM4700. My problem is that it comes on correctly at 3:00 am, charges the vehicle, and stops, at about 5-6 am. Then, about 4 hours later (at 10:00 am for instance), it comes on again to "top off" the batteries, essentially...

This must be a Gen 2 (or Gen2+) charger - serial number starting with SM45276P or SM4770P. You can delay the start of charging, but you can't stop charging once it's started. The charger's timer is set up to inhibit the start of charging during peak utility times. There are st...
