Marks (now solo) M1100 (mis) adventures!

That shock bolt would have come out by itself... if you were drinking Peroni.

That recessed section around the bolt should hold some anti seize liquid. Worth filling it with the swingarm on its side overnight. Nothing to lose. An impact driver should work and will damage the Allen head so you would replace the bolt, but a rattle gun will chew it out much worse.

This was the winner, thanks for the advice. All set with that bolt.

It has gotten COLD here again, so no progress to be made the early part of this week.

Cripes, another day, another bolt problem. At least this one is little, literally:

This little bastard decided to break. I know there are options for using reverse threaded tools but I am afraid there is not enough meat here support something like that. There is enough exposed that I can get plyers/channel locks on the end, but I get to movement. I am working Koko's PO Baster and set up method, but is there something specific tool wise I should be using for such a small bolt?

Is a channel lock a mole wrench?

[Howie]

A mole wrench could be a vice grip or a locking adjustable wrench.  This is a Channel Lock, actually a brand name   https://channellock.com/product/430/

What I would do is grind or file that broken screw flat, center punch as close to center as possible and drill with a left hand bit while praying to whatever deities you can think of.

Ah, multigrips 

[Mhanis]

Mole wrench, Multigrips....WTF!?

You cannot be MAKING names up for tools! 

So Howie, there are bits that that that small that are reverse thread?

Mark

[Howie]

Size of the screw?  I will look at my set tomorrow if I remember.

Yeah, koko64.  A muliigrip that doesn't bust your knuckles.

Where I come from a wrench is a spanner and we don't root for our teams Grab that mothermake the beast with two backser with some multigrips after soaking in penetrine.

That's because all of the blood is flooding your brain from standing upside down all day. 

Howie, the part number I have is 772.1.085.1C if that helps.

Do try what koko suggests first but with vice grips first.  Channel locks will not bite well enough and only chew up more of what is left.  I'll look up the part number shortly.

[Howie]

That helped. 5mm

[Howie]

As far as I know, the smallest drill bit you will probably find is 1/16" you would have less than .003", in my opinion too close.  If vice grips fail, maybe https://shop.snapon.com/product/Extractor-Set/Screw-Remover-Set-(Blue-Point)/YA2019

Howies right, use a Mole Wrench set very tight. The painted surface rules out heat. It's tricky.

[Mhanis]

Thanks for the advice on that little bastard. I'll keep you posted.

Next problem; I am working on the whole throttle body assembly and I cannot figure out what to with these connections:

Got it figured out!

I just don't get how there are disconnected.  

Oh, and this too:

Easy enough to replace once I get the throttle bodies pulled?
