Hi all,
I’ve been taking the engine apart on a CD175 today in an attempt to check all the bits look okay.
Whilst trying to loosen the cam chain tensioner bolt I managed to shear it off half way ?.
I haven’t attempted to get the rest of the bolt out yet but I’ll probably try drilling through it and using a reverse thread bolt removal tool.
My question though, is what makes this bolt different to any standard threaded bolt? I’ve tried to find a replacement and only found one on eBay for about £17!
Is there anything wrong with using a standard bolt of the correct size and thread? Would probably only be £3 from b&q then!
Cheers,
Greg
