I have been designing some fenders for my bracket/travel board and took my bandito for a ride after heavy rain last week.
Today I went to clean all the crap out of it, and swap out for an updated rain guard design and I had to cut one of my infinity bolts off.
I know that’s kind of inserts can break loose but I was surprised it happened so quickly. I have only taken the board apart 4-5 times. Anyone else have this issue? Does it happen often
Edit: this made perfect sense in my head but was not clear. Sorry. More info below (and should have included a video).
The threaded fastener is an insert into the sheet metal (PEM is a common brand of them). For whatever reason when I was backing that nut off, it broke free.
The nut was not cross threaded and there was no way to hold it in place. So cutting a flat into it initially to try and get the nut off normal lead to cutting the entire top off to get it out.
