Hi guys I've posted before and got no reply witch is gay:( it hurt! but anyway I've got a dt125r 1998 3bn it's in a sorry state crank seals have gone I brought it to bring it back to life plus Ibe always wanted a dt and thought this is the chance to make it just how I want it in stead off pay £1000+ for one

Down to it ive stripped it down ready for the frame to be powder coated and to crack on with the motor rebuild (being done by a friends dad) I've popped out all the engine blots out and the swinging arm bolt when to take the motor out then realised there was one more bolt under the swing arm bolt little 12 bolt with no nut (when I said it was in a sorry state I mean it was left in the rain a lot don't think it was cleaned in the last 2 years the amount off road dust and gacky oilly stuff on engine was nuts but yeah plastic bolts snapped left right and senter) when I tried to undo the bolt it snapped the real shit thing is I didn't even try hard a lot off the bolts are so weak :/ any one got any ideas on how I can get the bolt and engine out? :/ I thought I'd ask on here before trying as some one might off had the same problem and I know some ppl on here are shhhhit hot! Lol

Thanks in advance

I know it's not nice lol it's pretty much just been road never looked after so many bolts snapped but at that's part off restoring it I guess and this bit here

It's an bolt holding the engine in under the main swinging arm bolt :'(

Can any one please help I don't know what to do!? I've got stud extractors but I don't think they'll be man enough and don't want to snap one in there...

Sam, so this is an engine mounting bolt and it has the head snapped off so the bolt is still through the engine and the threaded end is still screwed into the frame at the other side...is this correct?

Yeah that's right mate any ideas?

first thing is a ticking off, you shouldnt have snapped the bolt your inexperience and rough handedness has given you a difficult problem to solve right now, learn from this

I dont see any way other than sawing through the bolt at the other side, then the engine can be removed and you'll have to get the threaded part out of the frame, the shaft will punch through the engine I suppose

I got it out got an 8mm nut put a big blob off weld over it and just kept tightening and it twisted out enough for me to get some vise grips on it cheers for the help tho mate lest some one replied

Thats great news Sam I thought you were in for a bit of an ordeal there, good job you had a welder and I'm glad you though of a way and it paid off
