Did they just back out or shear off

weiser23 · 04-25-2014, 08:18 PM

They all sheard off ..I felt no sign of problems

The rear bolts are typically studs that are simply placed in bushings in the rear hub. It provides a cush drive effect, to take up the shock load.

The answer is to buy Honda studs, which are higher quality. Like these (item 13): http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmot...m2988#sch20077

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the bushings.

so I don't have to worry if I cant back those broken bolts out I can replace the bushing ... and how is that done

Those studs bolt to the sprocket and they just slide into the rubber bushings. There is a big circlip that holds the sprocket to the hub. Most difficult thing is the big circlip.

I have not heard of anyone shearing off the honda studs.

That changes things. Perhaps someone with Q knowledge will chime in.

didn't take wheel off yet but it looks like the bolts screw right into the wheel I hope the threads are not messed up a new wheel is $350 or more

the mechanic I use from time to time has access to a machine shop and he going to drill them out ,, put new bolts in for less than $100 that's 1/4 of a new rim tire change that I thought for sure was going to happen
