Screw broke off in primary hub

(1/3) > >>

Hey all

So when trying to change the rubbers, I realised that one of the three screw in the hub of the primary drive was broken off inside the hub. Didn't realise this before trying to take it apart completely.

I have attached some pictures for reference. Both sides of the hub, and with the broken screw next to a new one for reference.

I don't have access to any special tools - only a handheld drill and a heatgun. Does anyone have any advice as to how I could get this little bit out without breaking the threads? Last repair needed before I can assemble the motor :)

It might be better to take it to an engineering shop,

To get it ,removed/drilled out/helicoiled,

It's not a place to have loose screws,

Your hand tools may not be accurate enough for the job

I have at least one of those spare, you could have had it FOC if you weren't in Europe.

You are having some bad luck with seized stuff Alex - a used item might be cheaper than an engineering shop.

What a nice offer, thank you. If you’d be up for shipping it to me, I don’t think the whole England/Europe thing would be a problem. I’d reimburse shipping costs of course. But can totally understand if you don’t want the hassle. But if you wanna do it, throw me a PM!
