He meant to say "boss".pete.v said:Get the proper size EZ Out and drill, not too big, not too small. (Home Depot has these in sets.)
Center punch the exact center of the surface of the broken stud so the drill will start true.
With cutting oil preferred, drill as straight and as true as you can freehand to a fair depth, maybe 1/2".
Heat the boss with propane, tap in the EZ Out slightly into the drilled hole to set it.
Turn out the broken stud.
You may or may not need the heat, but it will more than likely come out easy with the heat.
Thrust me, this will work and is the standard procedure to removing broken flush studs.
That is what you need to do!

When you fit (preferably) a new inner case fit also the 3 crankcase locking plates this time :!:

Please, (if only for the next owner) properly repair the bike. Epoxy, as well as no tab washers are both bad ideas to repair this. :idea: :mrgreen:danfr said:fiatfan said:nortonspeed said:In regards to the three crankcase bolts, I have read a few people recommending, not using them to allow more threads to engage into the crankcase. I have also used locktite to hold those babies in there.
I'll try and repair the mount with a high temp epoxy. After it's cured, I'll check for alignment and any possible flexion. If there's any hesitation, I'll just replace the inner primary as the clearances are too tight for map-alignment, flexion.
