RE: Cylinder Studs pulling out
ORIGINAL: EasyJoe
Blueglide88,
My thought was this. The stud does not go all the way down through the case, but the treads do. When the stud pulled out it left about 1/4" of threads.
So I did it. I put a set screw down and it treaded into the remaining threads. I drilled to the set screw, then cleaned completly. I then tapped the larger hole for the helicoil and again
cleaned completly. I dipped the allen wrench in oil, unscrewed until it was to the larger threads. The suction from the oil kept the wrench on set screw and it sliped passed the
larger threads. No shavings in the case and with my fingers still crossed I've put 200 miles on her so far.
Easy
