Ok I'm going to confess when I changed the coolant on the bike I snapped the head off the bolt so used liquid metal on it before I filled the coolant. And it's leaking not badly it's like a drip now and then Is it easy to drill it out or should I drain the system and retry marine liquid metal or buy a new pump housing???? still cleaning overspray
Nope it's behind fairing basically there are 4 bolts on the water pump 3 attach it to engine and 1 is a bleed bolt basically I sheared the head off the bleed bolt and snapped it but the bolt shaft is still in still cleaning overspray
Oh dear... It's hard to know what I'd try to be honest without seeing exactly how it is Live Forever or Die Trying
Tell you what whilst I'm doing tyre change tomoz I'll drop coolant and take pics still cleaning overspray
Don't do it on my account in case I can't help. Do you know any local good mechanics you trust, you might be better letting someone look at it? Live Forever or Die Trying
To see if anyone knows a better approach as once that pump comes off gasket needs replacing still cleaning overspray
take the pump off and drill it out from the back, start with a small drill and work your way up, you should be able to spin it out with the drill before you end up actually drilling it out. or you could get a couple of left handed drill bits and do it with the pump still in place.
I'll get a long stand and use elbow grease as well and respray my bike with tartan paint. left handed drill bits still cleaning overspray
