i have had that happen- crap diecast. took the fid=shmouth joint off and took to local bearing supplier and he had a better quality one- cost me 14 bucks.need to take rod as you can get lhthread or rh thread. if you get stuck send me a conversation and i can buy and post.you pay costs.
yeh just having heaps of trouble getting it off was wondering if you knew from memory if it was around the 10 or 12? thinking of paying someone to weld a new bolt on but its not cheap being a public holiday tomorow, anyone got tricks or anything to temporarily fix this for work on tuesday.
yeh it has its the ball joint which has broken only gear pedal side of the ball joint, OVERLY STUCK WITH THIS ive got the option of aftermarket rearsets that take some butcherying to fit but i need this bike back on the road right now , any help would be appreciated risky do you know of similiar bearing places located in sydney no wreckers have it
pull the rubber boot back so i can see .it looks like the bolt through it so any bolt would do OR it is the fishmouth. going outside to check.
ok, is the fishmouth and similar is a heims joint. they can be bought in left and right hand threads.to undo first wind the nut off the shaft away from the joint as it is a lock nut. then wind the joint off.THEN get the yellow pages out for your nearest repco and give them a ring. i doubt if they will have in stock but a motorbike shop mite. then a bearing wholesaler. cbc/bearing dynamics/????once you have it it will be on in less than 10 minutes.sorry for delay but crook with flu. if you were in newcastlew i would take one off a bike to get you out of trouble.
