    I had to replace a pilot jet screw on my FJ600 with the carbs on the bike and found an easy way to do it without turning the bike upside down and shaking it out. I used my mityvac brake bleeder, put the end of the hose nice and tight against the hole and sucked the screw right out. Just in case anyone ever runs into something similar it worked pretty well.
    I also wanted to thank chacal and xj4ever parts, very helpful, knowledgeable, good prices and shipped really fast. It's great to have a good source for parts for my FJ600, not allways easy to find.

    The spring came out with the screw and I just used a piece of small wire to pull out the washer and o-ring.
