Does anyone know if the bolt/stud securing the passenger foot peg to the frame is a frame casting bolt or a stand alone bolt?
I was in the process of removing the passenger foot pegs in order to gain additional room to rebuild the rear brake system and just general frame cleaning. I had no problems removing the right peg, however, the left peg was a different story. I tried removing the acorn nut with a ratchet and socket that I had easily removed the right peg with. Thinking that the nut was just being difficult I switched over to a breaker bar and proceeded to twist the nut off. After further inspection I could see the acorn nut had been cross threaded from a prior installation.
I'm now faced with the task of either removing the stud (somehow?) or fabricating something to replace the broken stud.
Any ideas?
