Runaway: A Road Adventure Hints

How do I connect the rotor to the motorcycle wheel?

  • 1 of 9: You need some sort of strap to run between the two.
  • 2 of 9: Now, you need some way to connect one end of the strap to the other, so you can loop it between the rotor and wheel.
  • 3 of 9: There's a connecting device just sitting around in another area.
  • 4 of 9: There's an old stapler sitting on the shelves in the middle of the bank in Douglasville.  Take it.
  • 5 of 9: Use the stapler on the strap.  (Note: you will only be able to do this after discussing the machine with Joshua.)
  • 6 of 9: Offer the strap to Joshua.
  • 7 of 9: Leave the area and come back, then ask him how the machine repair is going.  He'll tell you he needs a "number ten wrench" to get the strap on.
  • 8 of 9: Give the wrench to Joshua.
  • 9 of 9: Leave and come back, and Joshua will have the strap installed.
