     Did it have a crack were air and water gets in the bolt…

    I dont think there was a crack to start this with water. 

    I believe what Bill posted was what happened. The only thing different (before I turned the back smooth) was that it looked like it snapped all at once. There was no noticeable smooth area that picture above called Fatigue propagation. 

     This came from a plant called Doeler Jarvis in Toledo. They poured white metal castings. They did a lot of stamping also. My Step moms first husband worked there. 

  2. Do you see the 2 screws on the top of the gray plastic screen area? There are indents on that shim where the screws go into. You will need to push them together. You may need to loosen the little screws a bit so it will slide together. Then tighten the screws back up until it moves correctly.  This may work or you will have to send them out for repair.

     Don't know if the Big Red is from Ollie's or not. Dated 2006 on the box. If it is from Ollies. Seems to me there was some issue with the kit. Does anyone recall what it was? 

    The only problem I recall people talking about on here is the Ollie's kits had no chrome plating. I just checked my Ollie's kit date and it is 2007 on the Canary version. I have not opened it.
