Help- Advancer bolt broke
« on: September 29, 2013, 10:37:05 AM »
How do I go about replacing this guy? It sheared of below. It's a 6mm x 55 bolt.

I was *this* close to finishing the bike too.

Drill and easy (hopefully) out it. A BOLT??? How'd that happen? Were you turning the engine with a 6mm vs the other end of the crank? And with the spark plugs in?? Those things will handle will only up to 9lb of torque. I'd almost bet a proper advance shaft is more hardened. Perhaps the smaller engines use bolts vs the 750? IDK. That sucks doesn't it. 
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Guilty as charged, but I got the bugger.
