April 18, 201115 yr Has anyone had difficulty removing the clutch-retaining bolt from a TXT Pro? The hex on the bolt is very shallow!
April 18, 201115 yr just once, drill it out remove basket and you should be able to remove what is left easily. It is a hollow bolt, just use a drill bit to back it out.
April 19, 201115 yr Has anyone had difficulty removing the clutch-retaining bolt from a TXT Pro? The hex on the bolt is very shallow! You have to use a new or dressed Allen (5mm off the end) wrench. A much used, old Allen will strip it out (and other capscrews also). Be sure to replace it with the same type bolt as the hollow portion acts as a breather passageway for the transmission and the short head allows clearance for the end of the servo cylinder ("top hat"). Some riders leave out the capscrew and stepped washer but I like to keep it in as I think it contributes to clutch basket/hub stability. Jon
