Okay i know i have seen this up here before ... and tried searching it but did not know the words i should use So i failed at finding it.. Now for my question i was tightening my cage and it seemed to be binding so i backed up the nut and started to tighten it again and it it pops (Whoops guess i was pushing to hard on it when it was binding (My bad)) The part that keeps the nut from spinning that is on the motor mount i am guessing? If not correct me on what that is.. anyways it snapped and now the nut just spins..so i got it all cut down and just have the shaft of the bolt there (No head) And the nut but the nut is still being held in where it cannot just slide out.. Is the best way to do this just drilling it out? or since that tab is already broken (The one that holds the nut not the mount) Should i just get it where i can slide the whole thing out? I know i probably sound like a ignorant fool right here... but that is because i am Pretty much my question is... Just drill it? or is there another way?

Thanks! Its on a 04 636... I always forget yall cant read my mind and know what bike i am talking about...

 

eeewww so you broke the motor

well if you can get a wrench on the nut and a pair of vice grips on the whats left of the bolt then you can just unscrew it..

if not then ya youre gonna have to drill it out , what side of the motor is it on ?
i ask cause on the right side you can adjust the frame spacer back away from the motor and maybe cut the bolt right next to the motor and possible get it out the back

 

I did this on my old 03' and it took a drill, air chizel, and about 6 hours of cussing, throwing, & kicking stuff to get it out

 

if you can keep the bolt from spinning you can just drill it out starting with a small drill bit and going up to a slightly larger drill bit till the bolt is gone or thin enough to break ..

the secret is drill slow but push hard and use a hose or alot of wd 40 to keep the bolt and the bit from getting hot

if you drill too fast every thing gets hot and binds up and the heat dulls the drill bit ..

 

Its on the right side... And yeah i figured a **** load of work to drill it out thats why i was wondering if there was any other way... I cussed for about an hour after it happened knowing how much work i just caused myself.... I may try to adjust it like you said omr to get it out... I really really really dont want to have to drill it... Lol

 

I hate motorbikes sometimes

 

if nothing else you should be able to adjust the spacer back enough to get a sawzall in there to cut the bolt flush with the motor and at least that way you will have less to drill if you have to good luck

 

Its going to be 104 today too I really wish my shop had A/C right now...

 

remember sharp drill bits , drill slow , push hard and keep the bolt and the bit cool ...

 

Thats what she said

 

 

I will go **** around with it some and figure out what i can do.... I may go to a few shops and see how much they will charge... I can do it... I just really dont want too

 

Lol....

 

some times it's alot less trouble to just get it done for you ...lol

 

I hate all my motorcycles anytime i am not on them or right after i get forced off them and see a part laying beside it... They are to much damn work Sorry for all the posts in a row i cant keep up with yall Lol

 

Yeah thats what my step dad was telling me as he was cracking up ... He always finds it funny when i **** things up on my bikes... I guess i do too after the fact...
