HELP!!! Clutch adjustment screw broke!!!
Hey guys i have an 87 fxrs-sp, i went to adjust my clutch today, loosened the cable adjuster then opened the derby cover to adjust the adjuster screw....and only put a little bit of pressure and it snapped cleaned off! It seems pretty stuck in there. I dont want to EZ out the bolt because that would cause metal filings, and god forbid the EZ out broke off inside. Is there any way to get the adjuster screw/bolt out??? Please help!!

Get some snap ring pliers and remove part number 24 then pull out part number 25 (release plate) then you can put part 25 (release plate) in a vise and screw out the adjuster bolt with a pair of vise grips.
Easy peasy.
