During my rebuild I thought I would follow the manufacturers torque settings for everthing. I have a new torque wrench and I now believe that it works better in the higher 20-150ft lb range than in the 2-10ft lb range. I was torqueing the axle clamp bolts to the reccomended 4.5 - 6 ft lb range and one of the bosses snapped off. The bottom inside one to be precise.
With my bike (90 RMX 250) I have the Kayaba 41mm inverts.
My question is can I remove and replace the boss (stud)?
Do they actually thread out? I sure hope so. Would anyone dare ride even on slow sandy trails for an hour like this.(there are still 3 holding the axle)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
