Hey all,
Got a problem.. I know I know, I shouldn't have done this but, was cleaning the bike and noticed some dirt around one of the three bolts that fasten the clutch slave cylinder to the engine block. Figuring I had a seeping fluid leak from a loose bolt I grabbed an allen wrench and tightened.. You know where this is going. Snap! I stripped the thread in the block.
OK. Now to repair. Need info on what to expect if I loosen the other two bolts to remove the cylinder to insert a new thread insert. Will anything pop out? Is the cylinder self contained(I won't have to do the dreaded clutch bleed I've been reading about)? Any info would help Thanks Dan
