dragon green 5 Posted November 1, 2008 I have snapped 1 of my AVOs on the rear of my valver (right on the bottom,above the bolt) my problem is the said bolt snapped off as i was trying to remove it ! Is there any easy way of removing this ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted November 1, 2008 hang on a sec, the avo suspension has snapped or the bolt? if the suspension has snapped then you're kinda fooked. If the bolt has snapped, you may well be able to still get it out depending on where the snappage occurred. More info required! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted November 1, 2008 where did it snap, the head side (inner),half way along the shaft or at the nut end (inside the rear beam)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Oh dear. Start off by soaking the end of the bolt in WD40 or something similar, next I'd look to try to cut the end of the broken suspension off around the bolt. Not very easy without gas though. Once you've managed to get rid of that, grip the remains of the bolt and twist that If the worst comes to worst, cut it off fairly short, and beat it and the captive nut into the axle, where you can then pull them out. You'll have to fit a new nut to the axle, but it might be the only way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 5 Posted November 9, 2008 Mr.Toad was nearly right ! Except i took it to my local tyre dealer where they done it for me. £40 well spent ! took them nearly an hour and a half Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted November 9, 2008 cool, glad it's sorted! suspension bolts shear a lot cos they are exposed a fair bit along their length. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
