I don't have the instructions so I'm not sure what these said. I always break the tang off by rotating ccw until it snaps off.
Do I understand correctly that the M8 with 12mm is JIS? The same goes for the lower triple clamp pinch bolts.It's the m8 with 13mm hex that are a pain.
I'll just buy 8 new crown nuts so they'll all be the same and save the others for sparesYeah the illusive short crown nut in stainless. But the long ones work OK It's the m8 with 13mm hex that are a pain.
Drill out what's left of the old threads. This "sizes" it for the special sized tap.drill out the bad one with supplied drill bit blow out debris insert helicoil break off the bottom tang and then insert new stud with locktite
Sounds pretty straight foreword to me
I guess it would make sense to use locktite on the helicoilDrill out what's left of the old threads. This "sizes" it for the special sized tap.
Re-tap the hole threads.
Run the helicoil down (with red loctite) until it bottoms.
Turn the tool back out a half a turn... this breaks the installation tang off.
Remove the tool and broke off tang.
Install new stud with red loctite....
Done.
