broken peg bolts

[BIGSHO]

last time riding my left peg was a little loose. went to fix it today and one bolt snapped off when turning, no big deal. the other bolt was just spinning. the bolt that was just spinning, i cut off with a sawzall. this left just a small piece of the bolt and whatever it was threaded into still inside the frame just spinning around. what now??????????????

Those bolts are threaded into the frame. I have no idea why you would cut a stripped bolt off? Now you need to drill a hole in it and use an eazy-out or similar. Probably need to do that to the other one while your at it. The one you snapped off, were you tightening it when it broke or trying to loosen it?

 

Then your going to have to drill/tap to the next size and buy new bolts to fit or use some heli coils.

i cut it off becase it was not just stripped. whatever is in the frame that the bolt threads into, is broken off and inside the frame.

i had a similar problem.

 

only for the last owner of my bike welded another nut into the frame.

hit a jump one day and the welds around the nut broke. and the other bolt vibrated out. without knowing. so when i landed my nerfs just hit the ground with the pressure from my foot.

 

so i rounded it out. got 2 nuts and bolts. welded them into the holes i rounded out.

with good welds. so there not going to break off now.

who ever welded it before looked like they only tacked it in.

 

maybe this will help you

on my blaster i landed a jump and one of the foot peg bolts bent and the other one broke off, i was not a happy person

i cross threaded one and broke one. on the rear bolt,there is a nut in the frame !! on the front bolt i hade to drill a hole and run a long bolt threw and put a nut on it, the back bolt........ i had to drill a hole about the size of a quarter and get the back of the old screw out (pain in the a$$) and then i ran some all-thread all the way threw the frame and nutted it up.

Drill it out and install a thread insert (not a heli-coil). :thumbsup:

I was all jazzed one day to install my new IMS pegs. Broke the head off! Ruined my day.

 

E-z out didn't work. I ended up drilling the stuff out. Had to chip away most of it to get it out. Tore up the threads pretty bad.

I tried cleaning out the threads witgh the same size die. It was pretty loose. I used a bigger sized die with a fatter thread. That finally did the trick.

It has held up for 3 years now. No problems. I'll always think twice about removing those bolts in the future.

mine stripped out so I just ended up running a 5/8ths tap in the holes and installed grade 8 bolts.

 

but for your problem I would open the hole up and retrieve the part broken off and weld in some solid round stock then drill and tap it.

I have been using the inserts in the above link for this application. They seem to hold up even better than the threaded steel bungs I had been welding to repair this failure. :geek:

Those KEYSERTS are the shit ! That is what machine shops use to repair threads

that take alot of abuse. Another brand is Keensert. Both are pretty much the same.

Much stronger and easier to install than Helicoils.
