[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 94459, member: 3026"] Ok,, this has been delayed for a while. When pulling the engine, the left footpeg stud wrung off with the nut. (and only using a 17mm combination wrench.) [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06947.JPG"]6794._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06949.JPG"]6795._xfImport[/ATTACH] Options for repair were many, cutting it out from the frame, opening the hole to the cross-pipe, and making a new plug that a stud could thread into that would be welded in, cut it at some mid-point and machine (I have a lathe) a stump stud to join by threading or welding. Cutting off, boring and threading a hole in the frame was not an option as Honda saw fit to just have about 4mm that it joins to on the end of the tube. The break was almost flush with the peg arm flange, so I choose to: Grind it down a little below the peg arm and center-drill it: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06970.JPG"]6796._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then drill it out and tap it for an 8 X 1.25 X 20 bolt: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06985.JPG"]6797._xfImport[/ATTACH] I had to run in to Ace Hardware to get an 8 X 1.25 plug tap that I cut off to make a bottoming tap (I already had a taper tap).
