Shift-Assist Part on 2015 bike

DNCN · May 8, 2016

Had one of those evenings where a simple job turns into a disaster.

Was removing the LHS rearset to fit the newly arrived HP items and I stripped the bolt holding the QS to the selector. And then to make matters worse the EZ-Out/extractor broke off in there as well.

But looking at the microfiche, the part i need, i.e. just the bolt at the bottom isn't available as a single part. Diagram and picture below.... any bright ideas? It strikes me its a fairly standard joint?

No fussed about the saving the OEM selector as the HP Items will be going on.

thanks,

It's no 5 on the fiche

They are chocolate. Any stainless the right size could be used to replace it.

Thanks for the replies. But I actually need to reuse the ball joint that I can't get off the old shifter. I need that to be transferred to the new rearset. Last hope would be to Dremel the bolt face off but would rather just have a new one in the post.

Have you tried heating it up and using mole grips with a good set of teeth? (Grips, not yours lol)

Finally sorted. Let the WD40 work overnight and a set of molegrips got traction. Thats the second bolt that has done that, might swap a few out for aftermarket sets now.
