I thought I'd pretend I didn't understand this thread.

Use a spring ballance to measure backload, then grease the back of the new pads before dusting with icing sugar
That sounds like good advice but I measure the balance and then spring the backload. As long as the Oppenheimer bolt is finger tight then it is a go.

If there's excessive play in the crow's nest it might be worth checking you re-fitted the bleed nipple rubber cover before overiding the snorbits. I mean, safety first, right?

No, no... marsupials, they have a groin stitch. It's like a coin purse for your stethoscope--an off-color ethical coping mechanism. It travels several times faster through time than it does through space. The motives are endless. Leave the calibrations to the professionals.

Safety is always job #1 unless your in a hurry to go in which case I will set the centrifuge to '0' and hope for the best. If my nipple is bleeding I will cover it with rubber too.

I was under the impression that unless you cracked the Finster valve slightly before you dipped it in the Relative bearing grease then there would be much less drag on the Pitot tube.

Or am I thinking of an easy-bake oven ?
You are thinking of the Easy Bake Oven but only the pre-1973 ones had a Finster valve. I have a 1975 EBO and I use it every day to make delicious iced cupcakes.
