Broken Bolt HAve question

[dannyboy20]

Ok i was tightening my chain today and while tightening the 4 bolts on the swing arm i snapped one of them. I should be able to un screw it from the bottom with pliers because there is about 1/4 of of thread sticking out. My question is should i replace that one bolt with the original or is it ok to replace all four with stronger socket head type bolts from the hardware store ?

how did you snap that thing with an allen wrench?:huh id just replace the one.....alot cheaper.

[dannyboy20]

is that something a honda dealer would have in stock ?

[ReconRider25]

yes.;) if they ran out itll theyll have it in two days or less too. unless you got a crappy dealer.:p

ok...take one of the bolts off that are in good shape...go to home depot or Loews or some hardware store & get some new bolts of higher quality for cheaper...thats what i did with my rear brake master cylinder bolts that hold it onto the frame & the bolts have a black fiish & our of excellent quality over stock & had a awesome price compared to the wait at the dealership plus their ripoff price :macho

[dannyboy20]

Ya thats what i had in mind actually. And yes the dealers are a complete RIPOFF !! :devil:

Another question. Do you guys touque the bolts down at 15lbs. like the manual says or just tighten them until it feels snug ? Because what i thought was snug was a little too much.

Just go to lowes cause i just went there today and got the same exact bolts you are talking about. I got four for $2.48. and i also want to know do you guys mke them really tight or do you just make them snug.

u guys must not have good dealers or something. mine dosent seem to be over priced. plus theyve given me discounts before too when it wasent even a sale or anything.....guess they just like me...:p

[dannyboy20]

ok well lets put it this way. I was looking for a new rear rotor and my dealer said 180$ for stock and 130$ for an after market. So i would say they are a rip off. That also wanted 40$ for a block off plate. What a joke.
