Post Quick Golf Tee Question

for those of you who did the golf tee mode with a 7/32" ball bearing or a 4.5mm bb could you reverse and take the ball bearing or bb out? im asking b/c there was a user that used the 7/32" bearing and couldn't take it out thus he had to cut the wire. even though he said there is enough wire to cut 1 inch off, i still want to know.

and for those who used a bb, did you guys use a plastic or metal one? im worried that the plastic bb will melt?

use metal, and what goes in should come out, you'll just have to work it out.

Why not just disconnected the solenoid near the rear tail light.... seems so much easier than the BB thing.

A) Put the bearing in with some grease so its easier to get in or out. B) I used a plastic airsoft BB. Ive done it on about 10 cars now with no problems. C) why would the BB melt?

1) Pull hose from valve
2) Grease bb and slide it into tip of hose
3) Press hose against nipple on valve pushing bb further into hose

Done.
