HELP!

Okay, so i got the vise-grip clamp from home depot and i was able to get the bolt off (with a LOT of effort). 

I put in the new 5g rollers and while i'm putting the cover back on, i over tighten one of the bolts and it broke!!!

Half broke off and half is stuck inside!  How do i get it out???


(On the plus side, i test rode it anyway and acceleration improvement was noticeable!)

If part of the bolt is sticking out you should be able to grab it with a pair of vise-grips and turn it out.  If not then try a left handed drill bit or some EZ-outs.

I just went to home depot on my scoot to pick up these vice-grip clamps

Will try em later, hope it works.  My main fear is breaking one of the teeths on the drive face. 

..that's what I use, and you don't have to clamp extremely hard....though, i had to remove the adjusting screw completely...

..there are tools made to hold the flywheel...but I had those handy, and it just worked...

..like shaka said...

..sounds like another trip ti the HD...lol..

..get you some left-hand drrill bits....hopefully, the broken screw left a "flat" area where a drill bit could start...

...I've stripped the threads out of one hole on my scoot's cvt cover, but never broken one   

..they need not be that tight...

Thanks guys, i'll try the those methods. 

I'm loving the 5g rollers!

..i knew you would....

..change them out for 4.7s next time you replace them....

..maybe 4.5s, i'll let you know, as i have some 4.5s coming...

[shubonker]

Ah, do let me know!  I feel so much more comfortable riding with traffic with the 5g rollers.

Buy a LEFT hand twist drill bit. IF it catches the stud it will simply turn out. If not it will be bored for an easy-out
