broken sprocket carrier nuts

[lanesplitter2]

I was installing a new sprocket onto my carrier and over-torqued one of the lock-nuts. Now the nut just spins around the bolt, and I can't remove it.

I might have learned how to take the bolt off in shop class 10 years ago, but I'm drawing a blank and I haven't found anything online yet.

I've resorted to dremeling the bolt off, but in the future -- any tips?


When I get the bolt off, I'm going to replace the set with some blinging new blue anodized sprocket nuts. Good news they match my swingarm frame bobbins. Bad news $12.


thanks,

The bolt is ok, the nut is designed to be the sacrificial and easier to replace part.

oh, that's right

I'm trying to remove the nut.
