pindie Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Sounds like you may need to remove the arm unless anyone else has a method. Use a sharp drill bit to then place a small hole in the remains of the bolt and use an extractor. This will all be easier done in a vice. Good luck.

zerorev3rev4 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 you will be best off removing swingarm and taking to a motor engineer that is used to this type of work as you can easily make a mess of this ,easy outs can work but at the same time they can widen the item been extracted tightening it , unless yo know someone that can mig a washer to it then a nut to washer but depends how deep it is ,just make sure the person doing it is competant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzilla Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 This happened to me on a rev4t I managed to unscrew it with I flat screwdriver, I may have been very very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02-apr Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Obviously take the arm out to make it easy to get at the area - probably time to grease pivots etc anyway?. Easyouts can snap leaving you an even bigger problem. Try drilling a hole down the middle then hammer in a Torx bit and use that to turn the bolt. At least if it doesn't work you can remove it and drill a bigger hole or whatever method you then choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
