on my 86 250rs swingarm, the 2 allenkey bolts that are used to tighten/loosen the chain are stripped... any idea on how to get them out? :(


thanks...

Easy outs are cheap. :D You just drill a hole in the bolt, punch the easy out in it and turn the bolt :D

i reccomend just buying a new swingarm my oem did not hold up to 5 mintues of track riding......................;) also replace the bolts at your hardware store with reagualr bolts thats what i did with my 400 and 300...................;)

wasn't getting angry tants, just thought maybe you missed my first post. easy outs are cheap, not sure how cheap, but they're always useful to have around. as long as you can drill out a hole in a broken off bolt, 9 times out of 10, the easy out can get it out.
