TO>I flip the bail down, but it doesn't really matter, since it you do get TO>stuck just remove the bail by popping it out of the hole it sits in at he TO>fore and aft ends of the head. No prob. I flip down as well, though sometime the cover gets a little caught on its lower lip by the bail, no problem you can wiggle it free. TO>And, no, don't remove the wheels. That's silly. Definitely. O> - short (3" or so) 3/8" drive socket extension (as leverage to help TO> get bail back on--a trick David Schwarze showed me) I'm not sure of the Schwarze trick here but I'll interject that a 13mm or so open end wrench does a dandy job as a lever for working the bail back up the cover, first you lever it up a little way using the open end rocking it on the rounded outside of the wrench, then you insert the wrench as a lever entirely under the bail, its a bunch stiffer than a short enough screwdriver to fit in the confined space.
