Agreed.

Put another tenner on top of the £20 you're willing to pay someone and buy yourself this set.

My local dealer charges just shy of £100 for an oil change Laughing

This does include the oil though. Rolling Eyes

Judging by the already rounded state of that drain plug and given JB's lack of common sense and skill this is not going to end well at all. Laughing

If it were me, I'd stick one of my Metrinch wall drive combi spanners on it.

I still can't get the rear axle nut off to tighten the chain.

Look around. Do you have any piece of tube that will fit over the socket bar? A long spanner that you can hook over it to give extra leverage? Do you know any men?

Just please give up with bikes, pay someone to do it. Some people are just not cut out for even basic mechanics, you are one of these people.
You are going to ruin ANOTHER bike if you carry on.

STOP NOW PLEASE!!!

I've done over 1000 miles since I bought the bike it is due to be changed quite dark in the window. Unless it is done tomorrow it's going to be another week before I have time.

Chain also needs to be tightened never been done by me.

With my luck I will only do something what could only happen to me. I'm willing to pay so it is done correctly.


I wouldn't worry about the colour of the oil as it's a bit of a rubbish indicator of when to change oil. A pal seems to think that because oil, spark plug or air filter don't look brand new then they need changed.

Thats not to say that the oil doesn't need changed. I would think that as long as there is enough oil in there then you will be fine to wait a few days.
