**DONOTDELETE** 05-24-2001, 06:34 PM I have an 89 7/11 and was putting the front wheel back on when I stupidly stripped one of the bolts for the caliper. Anybody know how I could fix this? Thanks Marc ------------------ imported_jeff 05-24-2001, 07:00 PM if you can get a vise grip on the bolt head, use that to remove the bolt, and replace it. ------------------ http://149.123.110.32/misc/bike_small.jpg **DONOTDELETE** 05-24-2001, 07:04 PM Jeff, The threads from the bolt completely ate up the the threads on the caliper, looks like I might have to get a helicoil put in... ------------------ imported_jeff 05-24-2001, 08:20 PM oh okay, my bad, i thought you meant that you stripped the bolt head. yeah, unfortunately there's not really much you can do, except helicoil it or replace the caliper. on the upside, at least if you helicoil it, the threads'll be stronger than before. ------------------ http://149.123.110.32/misc/bike_small.jpg Pete1k 05-24-2001, 11:19 PM I have a set of 91 1100 calipers for sale.
