Buddy has a GSXR750.

FI Delrin plastic on left side was ground down flush.
Instead of removing, he bashed it in and put a new one.
New one eventually ground down also...
We drilled it and got the first one out...
We cant get the next one out. Its too deep to drill and its compacted in there...
Engine bolt needs to be tightened..

How can we get it out?

 

Melt it out?

 

here's a pic of it.

 

thought of that also.. Either with a butane torch or a saudering (sp?) gun...

Any other ideas?

 

Maybe use an extractor? Looks like you ****ed up the old slider pretty good.

 

we tried the biggest bolt extractor I have and still didnt work... just makes grooves in the plastic...

 

Any way to heat up a screwdriver and melt it into the plastic and let it cool down so it is stuck to it and then pull it out?

 

we thought just heating it with the blow torch and letting it melt out...

 

You need to pull the plastic out or just jet all of the plastic burn off. That will ruin the powdercoating too.

 

can't you use a really really long drill bit and keep poking/breaking the thing away? :dunno:

 

Delrin (what the slider is made out of) is a ultra high molecular weight polymer. What that means it that is it highly impact and abrasion resistant (why it is used as a slider). You may be able to drill enough holes to pull the rest out though.

 

I would get one of the giant flat headed stcrew drivers from sears that has the tip that is larger than the shaft, heat it waaaaaaay up, insert it and then twist it, let it cool and then pull that shizzle out.

i think that's how my friend got his out... i could be wrong though..

 

You must have beat the **** out of it to get it to shatter. :eek

 

i think he just kept on drilling everywhere till eventually it came out in chunks? something like that. i dunno, maybe i'll ask him tomorrow.

 

Yeah we thought about continuing to drill but it was late and the battery on the drill was running out...

 

that **** is pissing me off.. Im about to saw off the whole slider..lol

 

burn it .... or find a good ELECTRIC drill

 

battery drills sux for this type of work...

Yo Ricky, did u find the electric drill?

I got the other pics... I'll send them through myspace.

 

mabey freeze it, have seen a slider shatter when it was reaaly cold out. might have just been a cheap *** slider though.
