Engine Removal Problem!

[chrishs]

Currently removing my engine, but when taking the lower right mounting bolt out, the 2 raised lips on the adjuster bolt that the mounting bolt latches on to have snapped, with the adjuster bolt still in place.

How can I get this out and proceed? All help appreciated!

Remove the bolt and hammer a socket on to the adjuster bolt, ive had to do this recently

Do you know what size it was? I hammered on a 20mm socket, but it just span.

[Drunkn Munky]

Try a smaller one I think it was an imperial size, i'll check tomorrow as the adjuster is still stuck in the socket

[chrishs]

I did think that was a silly question.. oops!

Great, thanks.

Tried 13/16's spark plug socket earlier, tighter than the 20mm, but it still span on the adjuster! Would it be worth trying to weld something onto it?

I can't get the bolt shown in this picture out .

The castle nut is off.

The 6mm hex hole has been destroyed using an impact gun in an attempt to remove the bolt with the adjusting bolt

I have tried hammering the bolt from the left hand side, but it will not budge?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Just to check, have you tried jacking the engine up a tiny bit to relieve some stress on the bolt?

Yes, I've had a jack under the engine.

I've tried knocking the bolt out with the jack / engine raised and lowered but it will not move .

The bike is now on its side .....

I had one like this, nothing shifted it and ended up cutting the bolt to remove the engine. You then have to remove the remainder of the bolt from the engine.
