Hey, mine sheared also, small drill bits patients and an easy out set. depending on where the bolt broke, there is a shoulder and will probly needAnyone had occasion to remove, replace or even just tighten up the air cleaner stay at the (front) bottom of the rear cylinder? Somehow managed to twist the bolt in half that holds the bottom of the stock air cleaner or the bracket for aftermarkets in place, with the front end of the bolt remaining in the stay.
guess that'll teach me not to use 1/2 inch drive w/10 inch extension in the future; no feel for whether the damn bolt was turning (I thought) or twisting (as it turned out) ...
Anyway, I'm sure the dealer could back or drill it out and retap if need be, but that'd mean a 20 mile trip to the dealer with the (relatively) heavy S&S super secured only with the throttle body clamp, which I'm loathe to do. Seems like it'd be easier to just replace the stay, but if I've learned anything about the fury she's a trickster; with no end of 'easy' fixes that turn out to be anything but lol.
The stay itself is only a $6 bracket, secured towards the bottom of the rear cylinder with two bolts, but I'm not sure I can access the bottom bolt without removing the throttle body for access which I'm not gonna do. waiting on the new stay now which I ordered online, so can't do anything atm, so before I start taking things apart thought I'd ask if anyone's had any experience with this part they can pass along? Thx in advance ...
backed out
