87 200x broken front fender bolt

[FoxRider001]

I recently discovered that after taking my front fender off, the 4th bolt was broke off. I tried getting it with a pipe wrench,pliers,vice grips, but there is not enough left to grab. Any suggestions??

I had that happen. I welded a nut to it.

[FoxRider001]

hmm. that might work, but i would like to get that crapp out of there.

Flip the forks over, set a nut over the broken bolt, put the weld on the inside of the nut. Turn it out with a wrench. You might want to let it soak it with PB Blaster.

ok, thanks. Bye the way whats the pb blaster do?

Gets in the threads, loosens it up.

8675309 did it in this thread. Post 28 (fastest pic I could find). I know you have less to weld to, but it can be done.

I would drill a hole in the bolt and use a tap or whatever its called to get it out, but that may be hard to get the hole drilled. Or you could just drill it out completely and re-thread the hole when done.

ya i guess that would work too.
