  3. No it's not... Seems you have no good advice to offer on the subject; you just want to whinge and drip...

  6. Cock. All was going really well and all back together and testing ok.
    Just checking tightness on the two bolts that hold the engine case on and not the clutch cover and it went "bang" and stripped the thread in the engine case.

    Now what the hell do I do?

    Sensible answers only please as I feel sick.

  9. dont know how much room you have, but not the end of the world. prob m6 bolts? you can get m7 and tap it out.

  10. You could try running a tap down the thread first to see if that will sort the thread out.

  11. What were you checking them with , to make sure they were at the correct torque?

  12. Socket wrench, only went to nip it up and it went bang .
     
    #132 Cream_Revenge, Jan 2, 2015
  13. Why nip it up was it loose?
     
    #133 deleteduser211220, Jan 2, 2015
  14. I had taken them all out to clean it up.

  15. If it's an engine block thread I think it might be a bit more involved than you think. How far did you strip the clutch? Did you borrow a tool to lock the drum/hub & have you still got it. You're gonna have to drop the oil & strip the clutch completely to remove the side cover, easy if you know how. You really need a service manual if you haven't got one :Bookworm:

  16. Can I ride it like this? Might let Geoff at Baines fix it rather than risk doing more damage.
     
    #136 Cream_Revenge, Jan 2, 2015
  17. Nip it up, you were aware they're torqued to 10Nm yeah, forewarned and all that
     
    #137 Tobytyke, Jan 2, 2015
  18. Now you know the problem with using socket wrenches on the cases. I would recommend only using T-Bar wrenches on the engine case

  19. I used an allen for the springs, that went fine. Got a little excited and stopped concentrating and bang.
     
    #139 Cream_Revenge, Jan 2, 2015
  20. Can I ride it to Baines? It's about 40 miles
