[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 117077, member: 3625"] Yesterday, I noticed that the lower of the two studs below the center of the V on the drive side was loose. That is, the nut was but finger tight. I tried to tighten it but the stud turned with the nut. So I removed the nut and was able to easily turn the stud with a screwdriver. The stud has a slot for that. The stud came out of the case very easily. Not good of course. The inner threads were neatly plugged with aluminum. After cleaning them up, I was able to re-install the stud and turn it in a couple of turns beyond its original position. I put the washer and nut back on and was able to tighten it a bit but stopped before more damage was done. Short of a complete tear down, are there any suggestions for a repair? Or should I just keep riding it as is until another cause for tear down appears? Gary [/QUOTE]
