125-200cc Brake stopper

[rockdancer]

The brake stop got sheared off somehow when I was dragging my bike down the side of a hill

Tips for removing bolt ?
Think I 'll get the Zip Ty adjustable stop

Anything else good to get from those guys ?

I may also get a larger brake fluid cooler

I assume these stoppers help for adjustment of brake pedal level

They have lots of great stuff. Definitely worth some time to check it all out.

Bling!- Exactly same function with adjustment option as stock and fancy.

I grabbed the tail theads with a needle nose vice grip and screwed it out the back when mine last broke off.
Get the ZipTy set up it's a stronger set up, however I still replaced the screw (and used red locktite) from time to time , because it get gets alot of stress cycles, from brake cycles and from pedal trail hits.

The bolt was sheared off so cleanly there is nothing to grab

So the bolts still stuck in the hole?
Can you find a left hand drill and wind it out with that, normally i drill the bolt out an use an extractor, or torx bit to unwind the stub.

 

[rockdancer]

Yes . I was wondering about that - left hand drill bit with normal drill in reverse . I think bolt will be very tight. So may just drill out with ever increasing bits . thanks

Good luck,an canter punch the thing first lol

if you can locate a non tapered easy out its your best bet
here in the US Snap-On makes them, look in their catalog to see what i mean

How about the tail on the other side of the threaded boss, thats what I was referring to. if it is more than a few threads through you can grab it with needle nose vice grip and turn it through out the back

If not you need to punch then drill and use an extractor, kits are the best way because you get the proper bit to match the extractor size. I say this because so many folks dont match the drill bit properly to the ez-out and mess things up. You need to be careful and get centered on the screw shaft and use pilot drill to get started.

It does stick out a t back a mm or two. I'd. Need to remove swing arm to get access to it though
The frame is probably different on the 125 to the 310. It's really hard to get to the bolt o other side
Thanks for clarifying - i could easily stuff this up

If its a really clean break, you might get lucky with a standard 2.5mm drill. When the drill grabs it might spin the screw out the back.

 

[rockdancer]

it came out - it was fairly loose , drilled two smalls holds and gripped it with sharp nosed pliars
cheers all

 

[huskylove]

nice for the future what
i try first is dirlling the center out a bit smaller than one of my allen sockets.....hammer the allen head socket in as hard as needed then back the bolt out. Works pretty good so far.

are your stoppers not adjustable stock? mine is on my 95...or does mine have an aftermarket piece? mine looks just the zipty one, only just bare alum
