How does one bore/slot a Cyclone

[Raynman]

How do you go about boring or slotting a Cyclone to let all of the juice flow back into the bottle. It seems to me that a Vicious Ant should have already taken this into account being it is a bottom feeder. The feed hole is about a foot off the deck (yeah a little bit of an exaggeration) Do you pull the post to drill or slot it or what? Also if someone has done this could you post some how to pix of it. I have a few weeks to get it ready for the upgrade when it will sit on a LP TRA Grand. Heck that's long enough to be able to send it to someone if I think it would be too tough to do myself or do not have the proper tools to do the job. Thanks!

The center pin is threaded and is a royal pain to get out. I've found some time in a freezer really helps. You cannot believe how tight it is. I drilled mine with 1/16 bits. Dulled several. The top of my hole is even with the deck so it's really hard to get a pic of. I'll try later when I have better light.

I tried to get my center pin out on my second one and it just wouldn't budge. I winded up drilling it out in place. when it's that tight then you can drill it in place.

I thought someone said they slotted it with a Dremel. Maybe they used a dental burr. Then again it could have been a different RBA

I did a video a while ago of drilling it in the atty. I'll try to upload it, I wanted to edit it but no chance I'm going to ever get the time to learn how to do that

Whatever you do will be much appreciated Turbo.
