1/4 inch too big, 6mm too small what size are front axle pinch bolts on 1125? I tried 6mm and its wanting to strip | ||

Yep, I use 6mm on mine, work fine. | ||

there are different thread pitch 6mm bolts. i.e. 6mm- 1.25 or 6mm- 1.5. im not sure what they are specifically though | ||

Back it out if its wanting to strip, jackass. | ||

What do the Loki folks say? I'll speak for myself, but posting that ? here on the QB seemed queer. Sorry, feeling punchy tonite. All the love. | ||

I assume from the context, he is stripping out the inside of the bolt. Backing it out will not do much help if he can't get it to turn at all. Quality hex set is your best bet, unless the bolt is already too far gone, which doesn't seem all that likely. | ||

I think he is talking about the head of the bolt, not the shaft and threads. Its a quick throwaway question. Why wouldn't it be on the quickboard. If it's allen, go the next size up and touch it to a grinder until it fits. If its hex, try a different wrench, my more expensive ones seem built to better tolerances. Or a 8 point (instead of 16 pint) socket / wrench. | ||

Ahhh... Upon my regular morning caffeine uptake, I sit corrected. Good luck with those bolts- someone here other than me should have advice for the fix.  | ||

it was/is 6mm Took a rubber mallet and knocked it in a bit further and all was fine, near the end of the head it had started to strip a little though. 86 - nothing but class, keep it up, youre making us all look good | ||

Those are pretty hard bolts. Are you torquing them or just going by feel? Mine have been in and out several times and still look new. I would replace the bolts now that they are buggered, before you... have to next time. They are also easy to drill for safety wire. | ||

Hybrid, good on ya for getting the fix... my bad for being a little dense. Sometimes I'm dumber than I look. | ||

yep, to the manual tq specs on all bolts. I dont know what happened to the very ends of them, only had the front off once before |
