Hi has anyone got measurements for bevel to swing arm bolts please diameter,length and pitch,
from my parts list and realm got that 4 bolts are M10 x 45 (no pitch assume its standard liking that about BMWs!!!!) and also radiator drain plug is M10 x1 (no pitch).
Tried to remove both earlier figured itd be easier to use flush in system for a journey then renew only to find head corroded so cant remove!
So then moved to other job intended to do spline lube and the weakest link left corroded bolt inner head not allen or spanner but nut.So a bit stuck going to replace with stainless wondered if hi tensile steel best for arm joints as its also a load bearere.
thanks
pete
