Member Contributer mk2davis Posted June 9, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 9, 2012 I have a seeming random bolt sticking out of the bottom of the swingarm on my third gen. I believe that is was accidently put there by the PO, and now it is hanging out of a drain hole. It is shouldered with a 10mm head. I put on the spacers and nut just to stop it from rattling around. I found this when replacing my disc brakes. Assuming it's not supposed to be there, and you have any hints to taking something like this out, please feel free to share.

SEBSPEED Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm going to guess and say that you can get it out the same way it got in - through one of the holes in the vertical walls in the shock hole. Magnet on a gooseneck should get it, but you might have to drop the shock to actually have room to work. Really weird how it ended up there! ps - nice new brake disc you've got there.

indianagenius Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 This is very disturbing. Low IQ PO's can be quite a mess to clean up after. Trust me, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 10, 2012 Good to know. Thanks for your help. I'll try the magno-helper tomorrow. And I don't mind cleaning up after the PO. Just reinforces the idea that she's found a better home. Luving my new EBC disc brake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Curious- was you old disc worn out or bent or ? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 10, 2012 That would be due to a current owner low IQ. I was lazy and didn't monitor my pads closely enough. That lead to steel and steel braking. Operator error, in otherwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted June 10, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 10, 2012 Bolt could have dropped into the swing arm (through the holes near the shock) and slid down to the back. I'd like to say I've never dropped a bolt and heard it ping into the abyss...but I can't! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
