Bolt or post in hub? If it's just the head off the bolt you got lucky. With out any tension it should spin right out...

There is very little torque on those bolts, you need small torque wrench or gentle hands.

Or learn feel. The only 6mm bolts I've ever used a torque wrench on were cylinder-head studs on 2-strokes.

Otoh I once stripped a rear shock-linkage pivot using a torque wrench. The same one I still use. Go figure.

Do pilot jets(stock carbs)have a number on them,like the mains?My pilots should be 17.5(at least as an owner I haven't changed them) but there's no number on them
Thanks

Bought an 80 dollar craftsman that measure inch pounds, put the clutch back in exactly as it came out... and the problem is gone. Fucking gremlins.
