I guess you missed this posting John...

Get the nut off, put the sheared side of the assembly down flat on whatever you use as an anvil, when it's hot, and strike the threaded end with a hammer to move it 1/2mm, then put it over a bigger nut or something to give space to drive it through (still hot). |
Don't try beating on that broken bolt (they are a special shouldered bolt by the way so get one ordered now to save you waiting) or you'll bend the torque arm maybe even break the carier.. Heat the ally up with a heat gun until the paint starts bubbling (buy some paint ready) and you'll find that it will drive out easily but only if you follow the above advice. Personally I would remove the torque arm from the other end and put the whole assembly on the bench.
Also, next time you're un-doing a bolt and nut turn the nut - NOT THE BOLT. Same goes for tightening and using a torque wrench. Probably wouldn't have saved that one since it was so thoroughly seized but it'll stand you in good stead in the future. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Thanks for your reply and the info - though as I've mentioned, I can't remove the torque arm to work with it on the bench.
In 3 days it's going in for a major service - so having the parts ready isn't really necessary (and wouldn't be here in time if I did order them).
Also, unscrewing the nut would have had the same result - as the nut side sheared off as well as the bolt side. I've tried knocking it both ways - including after heating it up - though I didn't have it as hot as is probably necessary. I'm relustant to use my brazing torch due to the proximity of things like the brake pipe.
If I don't get it sorted tomorrow (I'd use a normal nut & bolt in the meantime, if I get the stud out) I'll just reassemble everything and get the workshop to sort it out during the servicing.
*Having discussed it with Mrs that's what I'll do. Means it'll cost more, but at least it will get done by someone who is qualified ____________________ Fazer Thou Gen 1 |

If the torque arm bolts are that badly seized,how did you ever adjust the chain tension? ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

Fuck you too
I do as much as I can - being a disabled biker and I took the fuckin thing apart probably more than any twat in the past and cleaned and repaired shit - just look at the posts here and on FB, and that's a micro-part of the story.
Check before you insult people. Mind you - makes you no different from most of the tossers on the internet these days. ____________________ Fazer Thou Gen 1 |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 339 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
