Help
 
Been tinkering, was gonna put on new heel plates but have just rounded off one of the bolts tryin to get it out, what do i do? :help:





I knew i should have left them alone ](*,)

Viney 17-03-05 02:05 PM

Try a pair of adjustable grips on the edges of the bolt, if that dont work, you will need to hacksaw/Dremel a slot into the head of the bolt then use a flat blade screwdriver. Happens to the best of us, and dont blame yourself, its suzuki metal for ya.

diamond 17-03-05 02:07 PM

Did i mention it was an allan key bolt so nothing to grip onto, i'll have to go for the hacksaw approach.

THANKS :thumbsup:

if you use a set of mole grips on the outside you can often still turn them.
That's if you can get at the outside, of course.

I know what i'm gonna have to spend the evening doing, still it's a learning curve. But nobody let me near any thing thats crucial. :shock:

I think I will write to Suzuki and ask them to use bolts with holes drilled through the centre of them as standard (except sump plug). That way you will be saving weight and you will be able to use a stud extractor without the need to drill first.

Will i have to go to a Suzuki garage to get a new one or should i be able to pick one up any where?

What time? I'm going to be in Portswood that day, so might as well stop on my way for a natter.

diamond 17-03-05 03:02 PM

If any one does turn up you will be expected to help, be warned.

D'oh! That's put me off!

Sorry Carsick. Got something else on all of a sudden

Carsick 17-03-05 03:11 PM

Hmm, I think I'll just pull up, wave then ride off.
That counts as a friendly welcome, doesn't it?

It's ok, I know where she lives, anyway. :twisted:

diamond 17-03-05 03:21 PM

Any ones welcome to my house, i can make tea, and i have biscuits, but who in there right mind would be goin through Amesbury. I think i'm fairly safe even if every one had my address.

Carsick 17-03-05 03:25 PM

I'm up that way every couple of weeks when I go to the office which is near Pewsey.

Iansv 17-03-05 03:26 PM

care to test the theory :lol: :lol: :lol:

diamond 17-03-05 03:27 PM

Pewsey now there's another dead end town, you'll need more than tea and biscuits when you've been there.

Indeed. I get some odd looks when I go through there on the bike.
