I fitted the TT oil cap (the one with the hex piece as part of the kit) The hex peice has a wiast with a rubber O ring at the cap end.
Straight forward replacement but the key ring I threaded the hex bit on to use for leverage (as recommended) was too broad and so I used an adjustable spanner which was to hand to turn the cap beyond hand tight.
No more than an extra 1/8th turn and the hex piece sheared at it's waist! Leaving the tip and the O ring in the cap!!
Fortunately the waist has come away on the long (free) end, and it looks like I can pick out the O ring, turn over what is left of the hex peice and remove the cap if need be. But I guess I'll be calling TT on Monday to see if they'll replace the hex bit and/or replace the lot for the other option they do.
Anyone else suffered this?
