Default Re: What have you tinkered with today?

More work on the VFR today. One of the bolts attaching the right hand caliper had seized. I'd previously tried to get it out using heat and an impact gun with no luck so I left it for the winter service.

It's not your standard fitment as it connects to a secondary master cylinder as this bike has combined brakes. I tried the impact gun again but it still wouldn't shift. So out with the angle grinder and chopped the captive nut up. That got it off. I then replaced the parts with items I'd already bought.

The other bolt in the photo is from the bl**dy mudguard. Despite copious amounts of antiseize they still stick and the allen head just chews up.



Fixed
