Axle Holder stud broke

Post by blimpman »

Must have cracked when I took it off cuz it broke off starting the nut by hand. It took some vise grips and tried to unscrew it out but it is in purty tight. Don't have enough thread to put two nuts on it. Anyone have an Idea on how to extract the broken stud? I plan on just using a 6mm bolt when I get it out.

Changed the tires to Michelin S-12. Gonna ride an Enduro next weekend.

Should be alot of fun! Especially if Hurricane/Tropical Storm FAY makes it up to OHIO with some rain.

A little heat from a propane torch might be helpfull. Not too much, now, don't want to cook your fork oil! Vice grips really tight and tap the vice grips around.

It is only my opinion, but you would probably be all right running on three studs if you can't get it out in time. If you do get it out I would reconsider the bolt idea. The threads are in aluminum. A stud is really a good thing to use there.

Thanks...

Yea you are probably right on the bolts... I did not see an OEM part number for the studs... did I miss it?

The part number is:

(search 'canyncarvr' and 'stud' ...ha!)

..and you get THIS!

Follow the manual spec for torque on that fastener. And...follow the procedure for tightening, too. There should be NO gap at the top, a gap at the bottom.

And if you STILL miss it..it's in the subject:

Post subject: Axle cap studs...172G0622.

They have been found in auto parts stores (Napa) and general hardware stores (Ace).

..not the particular pn..I mean by pitch and length.

Agreed with KarlP: Do NOT use a bolt. Not as a replacement for the stud over the long haul. The forks won't likely stand up too well to repeated removal/assembly that a bolt would require....especially with the dissimilar metals problem.

Thanks to this post I was able to fix mine. PB Blaster, let it sit, turn out with some big vice grips. Part number is right on and I resurrected this post to add some information: Torque spec is 87 in-lbs. That's INCH POUNDS. (9.8 nm for you metric folks).

I have three extra studs if anyone needs one.
