Sheared bolt

The Bear said:

So does bolt (number 6) pass through the bracket (number 2) and then screw into the final drive? Or does it just screw into the bracket, which itself is held on by bolt number 3?

All you need to buy is 6 & 5.

If you remove 3, 2 will slide off the remains of the sheared bolt (if it sheared part way down) but 2 & 3 should still be there.

If its sheared flush yes you will need a Cobalt drill bit.

If you ever get around to repairing it you need to put the bolt no6 through no2 and screw it into the final drive a little before tightening bolt no3 and it will all go together nicely when you fit the splash guard thingy.

Fuck that. Cleaning cars and bikes is for girls. I notice yours is spotless.

Only just got the chance to remove the hugger thing, revealing the sheared bolt. Picking up the replacement bracket tomorrow.

I Wonder how may people have removed the rear crud catcher and bracketry, and then replaced the rear caliper torx??

Only to find its not a blind hole and the torx bolt is bloody close, if not touching the disc??
