As title, I need to get a sheared hanger bolt out of my 2011 XO rear derailleur.
The sram parts PDF exploded diagram and the ordered replacement suggests a circlip is removed and then the bolt slides out, but this is not happening in reality. I've taken off a split O clip from behind a lipped flange on the bolt, but the flange is bigger than the hole on the B stop thingy and so no chance of it sliding out.
So anyone got any experience or is it hacksaw to butcher it?
Cheers
Mine seized into the mech so I had to use considerable force to get it out, it involved a hacksaw to separate it from the hanger and then a lump hammer to get it to budge. I'm not sure if the bolt had splayed a bit like yours sounds as though it's done, but it is a tight fit anyway.
Cheers Marmoset,
I think may be it's the original and it's been flared on fitting. Hacksaw it is then.
