When was the last time you looked at the chainplate bolts? This past
weekend I removed the chainplates and resealed them at the deck. This
might have been the first time they had ever been removed. When I
retightened the nuts, 3 bolts had the heads fall right off with no
effort. After inspecting the others I found another bolt that looked
questionable. I threw all the bolts in the same jar when I pulled
both sides off, so I am uncertain to whether the sheared bolts came
from the same side or not. I'm replacing all of them and just wanted
to remind those who possibly have the original bolts to inspect them
at the very least.
