HELP!
Snapped the bolt holding the primary sprocket on the crank side.
Local dealer mechanic told me it was a lefty thread....WRONG!! Bolt snapped, primaries off but now I have to replace the bolt and part of it is stuck on the crank......Sh&*!!!![:'(] Any ideas on how to remove the remaining piece? I cant get at it because the splines gear from the crank is still on is and covering the remains. I know I have a few "you dumb ***" coming but what can you do. Yes I had the shop manual, I just got confused because the tranny or clutch basket bolt is a lefty....Thats why I asked the mechanic.[:@]

RE: HELP!
OMG, bro I'm sick for you! Try heat(propane torch), possibly attempt to drill and extract it out but chances are it is heat treated and drilling is going to be impossible.
Definitely try to get some pics so we can see how limited your work space isin attempting to get this out.[sm=boohoo.gif]

RE: HELP!
Can you get a drill in there? if so center punch it and use a left hand drill bit and run the bit in reverse in your drill motor. Many times it will back out start with a fairly small bit. then work up a couple sizes .
