As per title... I was trying to inspect the cambelt by removing the n/s cover, three bolts came out no problem but the lower inner bolt just turned without coming out It feels like the threaded insert is turning as well as the bolt.
Ideas on how to remove the bolt and fix the problem, preferably without hacking the cover to bits!

Thanks
Paul.

 

wrong section but nevermind, a mod will sort,

prise the cover gently whilst undoing so the insert comes out also
on refitment seccure the insert in after removing from bolt with some suitable adhesive
plenny a copper grease and just nip up.

hope helps

Oops, though I was in general technical!!
Will give it try when I've got the rad off to change the belt.
