GL1000 Question
|
This stud is embedded somehow in the frame and passes out through the
removable subframe under the engine and holds the LH footpeg on. This was
|
Above # 18 and a little to the right?
|
stripped when I first got the bike (77GL) a few yrs ago so I re-threaded the
end to the slightly smaller 7/16" UNF to keep my footpeg from falling off.
Now I have removed the LH subframe because the doubler pad that the
kickstand is attached to broke in half (split down the middle - no corrosion
like Randall suggests but the crack almost looks like it was induced by
vibration) . My buddy the welder says to cut back on the cheeseburgers. HA
HA. Anyways I would like to replace this 12mm stud while I have it apart. A
little gentle persuasion with vice grips had no effect. Next, some heat.
However I am thinking someone else may have had this problem or know if
Honda had any weird way other than threads of attaching this stud (which btw
is not listed as a separate part).
Part 2;
It doesn't appear to be welded. I applied a little heat but I didn't want to
burn a lot of paint off the frame, so I applied some Kroil and will wait a
day. I sensed some movement when using a pipe wrench with 2' of pipe, but I
think the stud itself was twisting, so I stopped. I am looking for someone
to say "yes it is threaded, keep trying". Hasn't anyone delved this deep in
this area?
