CB750 Enthusiast
Alright, super noob question. I am a handy guy, so purchased CB750 F SS 1981 in order to learn how to work on it.
Very first order of business is an oil change, right? Got the Honda GN4 10W-30 and the HiFlo oil filter and the rubber washers and some metric sockets and wrenches. Ready to go, right?
The drain plug is size 17. Cool. Getting to work on that thing- and wtf?! Is there a trick of the trade for getting the drain plug off?! That thing is on there! Me and a friend just gave it a couple of go's and neither one of us could get it to budge one bit. I'm saying, I couldn't get it to move even the tiniest bit. I'm a pretty big guy too so I guess its just not in the cards today. Brought the bike back inside and time to search the interwebs to find out what I am doing wrong or discover some secret trick of the trade I don't know about...
My socket wrench is one of those crappy inside your home housewife kind of socket wrenches. I have a feeling I just need one with a much longer handle to get a better grip on it. Also my wrenches are little $8 Menard's pieces of crap too....
