weight bolt questions

[ghost121]

Hi

A few newbie questions about weight bolts and such:

1) I have a 1998 Joss with the weight bolt stuck firm. When I insert the correct allen key in the bolt head, it feels springy. No idea what's happening down there. Any advice?

2) When changing the weight with bolts, do you have to take the existing one out first, or can you just add another behind it? The Joss is internally threaded all the way down the butt and I only want to add 3/4 oz. Existing bolt won't come out. See above.

3) Different topic - what's the best way to clean a very smelly (smoke and sweat) linen wrap. For anyone who ever might have to shake hands with me - cue is pre-owned, I didn't do it!


thanks folks,

Steven

Could it be your allen wrench twisting? I've had that happen before.

Also, I believe you can add a bolt behind the existing one. It would be preferable to have 1 single bolt though, I would think that would give you a better chance at avoiding any unwanted vibrations.

There may be some silicone on the bolt to hold it in place and prevent it from vibrating.
