I put one in and all it does is spin. Is there a trick of the trade to get these to sit in it's place? My narcelle has 8 holes...service guy said my bike has 7,he's wrong. Looks like p/n 5210 has been replaced.....

did you check at a hardware store? they might be cheeper if they have them.

 

Can you glue them in place (JB Weld, Gorilla Glue, Super glue) ?

I believe he already purchased them. His problem is they spin when he tries to put the screw in.

 

they should not have to be glued,,,,,,,,,should be pressed/pushed in ...the one they sold me today just go in

 

I’ve used them on the skid plates of snowmobiles. Never had an issue tightening them.
I have had one not thread onto a bolt before. Have you checked to see if the bolt screws in without hanging up on the brass nut?

 

You must've been an ADMIN type, Senior Chief!

 

OK, cookie...tell what the fix is then?

 

sounds like you got something buggering up the threads or you got it going in cross threaded. you should be able to screw the screw in all the way by hand and then use a screwdriver to tighten it up

 

Try screwing the screw in without putting the rubber part in the well hole as stated above to make sure the screw goes into the nut. Then put a few washers between the screw and the flange of the well nut and tighten the screw so the nut pulls into the rubber part and expands the well-nut some. Then install it into the hole and it should be a press fit. so it holds the rubber part while you are tightening the screw.

Had the same issue with my Honda VFR Fairing well nuts as some of the holes in the ABS fairing were a little larger. Another trick is wrap some electrical tape around the well nut to make it a tight fit in the hole so it does not turn.

 

SeniorChief,

Good morning!

When I replaced my stock headlight with LED on my '20 RK there was one of these inserts spinning. It pulled out of the nacelle when I removed the ring.

It appeared to me that these were supposed to act like a rivet when first installed. So I re-inserted and held the back half with pliers while I tightened the screw. That worked for me. The insert is meow tight like the other 7.

Would you try this?

Doc
