Previous shop:
I picked up set of spare rims and tires for my fz6. The rear r6 wheel uses a smaller rotor so I have to pull it off. I get the first three bolts out no problem. The last two won't come out and I break two bits. I have to get a new tire put on the other rim so take both rims to the shop to have them pull the bolts. They say no prob. Then the owner comes out and says his bit broke but he could drill and tap it out, ok. About 30-45 minutes later he comes out and says he couldn't get em.
Fast Track:
I call Dave and says to bring the rim to him. He tells me there's two ways to get it out, the easy way $100 or the hard way $140 where he'd cut the wheel pull the bolt then rewield and shape the cutout. Might not get it back till next week, no biggie it's a spare. He calls about 2 hours later and tells me it came out the easy way so $100 it is!
Gotta say Dave is a great guy! I didn't think he was gonna get done with the wheel that fast and thought it was gonna cost more than that. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs any type of machining, straightening, fabricating, whatever it may be. His shop has moved to Higley just south of McKellips in Mesa.
