Ya so riding this weekend at marienville one of my two adjuster bolts snapped inside the housing. Any suggestions on getting the stud out?

There is a plate on the bottom that attaches to two studs. Pull the skid plate off, remove the opposite stud and pull it out from the bottom. Instead of replacing them with new stock bolts, get a grade 8 from a hardware store. Remove the welded nuts from the plate and tack new quality hardware on.

I had it happen right after I bought my Z. I bought a 20 dollar torque wrench from harbour freight so the torque is equal when I adjust my chain. No problems since then, two years ago.
