I have a jingle. One of my rear foot pegs has loosened off....how do u tighten it up? Not sure how to hold the back side to torque on it? Hard to get a look at. Thanks |

Ummm, could you be a bit more specific? Year, model? My 00 M2 rear pegs have a 3/8 allen head bolt with 9/16 nut, right out in front of God and everyone else, the tabs the bolt runs through are welded on the subframe... |

If its your X1, there is a nut and bolt through the mount. You can tighten it to squeeze the frame onto the peg, stopping the rattle...or you can get a wave washer, which I believe is factory on them anyway. If you think of it as a stack, from one side, you have: Bolt head Frame tab Footpeg itself Wave washer Other frame tab Nylock nut on bolt |

Sorry. Guess it was kinda vague. Its a 00 X1. Its the peg mount that is loose. I can turn the the left rear peg around completely. Its the mount to the frame not the actual peg that is loose. I used a mirror to try and see what is backing the bolt/stud but it just looks like a round flat nut and I can't thing of a way of keeping it stationary to tighten the peg? Front pegs are just bolted from the backside but the rear seems to have a nut of some sort? Hope this makes it clearer |

If you're talking about where the wishbone bracket mounts to the frame the frame plates are investment cast and the back side of the top hole has a six point recess to match the nut(1/2"), no need for a wrench. The bottom mount hole is threaded. If you mean the peg yoke to the wishbone its a flat head socket cap screw that takes a 5/16" hex key. (Message edited by jramsey on February 12, 2011) |
