Anyone had experience with these?
Was removing the plastic chain guard when one bolt just turned in the thread (the hardest one (front) to get to of course).
Finally ended up grinding off the head to remove the guard and that revealed that the captive nut inserted into the swing arm wasn't any more. Captive that is.
They are a bit like a big pop rivet system. Now I'm left with the nut rotating, and the stub of the bolt still firmly siezed in it's thread!
Any suggestions (other than the obvious!)? <i></i>
