CAM CHAIN ADJUSTER BOLT BROKEN

(1/4) > >>

OLIVER1GEORGE:
I was going to adjust the tensioner but the bottom bolt of the two is snapped you can see it up in bolt hole just some advise really leave well alone or if i can should i replace and try and get it out using a stud remover kit , is it really worth the hassle my bike has only got 15168 miles on it  look forward to hearing from anyone with advice

I

OLIVER1GEORGE:
as i thought, have you ever removed a broken bolt its about 4 mm in the hole, from my haines book it appears to be the locking nut so i cant adjust the tensioner untill i have loosened this bolt im just worried that ill end up with a larger problem i have been told that the bolt is real hard to get hold of and i can replace with an m6 bolt but its just the removing of it should i drill it ,will oil pour out im really not sure any advice would be great

dave400:
You have loads of options for getting the snapped one out but dont try and drill it!, I replaced my old one with a new on from DSS. That bolt gets soaked with oil so I cant see it being seized

JonnyB:
Don't drill it, I take it you mean the locking nut for the plunger and not the mounting bolts for the tensioner assembly, I would remove the assembly from the engine, makes it easier to work on, try and free the locking nut.

At worst replace the whole assembley

It's a bugger to remove with the engine in, but possible.

Just realised te link is to a CB750 one - proably not the same - my bad
