kinell Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Tell him up front and he *should* respect you for it. It will need drilling and rethreading, just done it on my front hub as I nipped up one of the disc bolts and sheared the bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkp Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Don't try to fix it yourself - if you screw THAT up your dad will REALLY be pi$$ed. Fess up - come clean and help your dad fix it. If he beats your a$$, so be it...take it like a man... lesson learned. At least now you know how much torque it takes to twist off a bolt - file that away in your memory, you'll need it later.

jaylael Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 The standard way this scenrio goes bad is when someone tries to drill it out with a bit that's not perfectly sharp as in at least as good as brand new, then the drill bit wanders off center so bad it gets part way into the threaded frame metal, then the next mistake they make is they put a super hardened "easy out" in the hole which can't turn 'cause it's half in the frame, then they snap the darn thing off in there and it's all wrecked. Ever try to drill a hole through a file? "They" probably ought not to be tryin' that sorta' thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
