Exhaust Clamp Holder bolt extraction?
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 1:19 pm
one of my exhaust clamp holders is sheered off on the outside of the jug.
i found one on ebay, not an easy little part to find so i nabbed it.
Now considering trying to extract the old bolt.
should i even bother, at the risk of making it worse?
i have a CL350 that the PO had tried to get an exhaust stud out of and it was so chewed up i just replaced the top end entirely.
i haven't had a clamp on that side in years and it seems to be ok, granted i check that the collar holding the pipe on is tight, periodically.
however i can't help but think air is gonna leak there and cause problems..
