Here's a problem I haven't seen here before

[Trbayth]

Haven't seen this here before. This was one of the bolts holding on the engine filter cover. Now it's garbage. I dodged a bullet in that the broken off piece was sticking out of the engine enough I could get a grip on it with pliers and back it out.

Anyone know if you can buy those bolts separately? Cheap Cycle Parts maybe?

Is that the right bolt? Looks like the longer one from the HCM (trans) filter. It's longer but hard to tell from the picture. If you mixed them up. That may be why you twisted it off. Now the other problem is if the short bolts are in the trans filter. That going to strip out the threads. Several folks have striped the threads with the right bolts.

Engine filter bolt: 205063044 Socket Head Screw M6 X 30
Trans filter bolt: 420241811 Socket Head Screw M6 X 35

They are about a $1.00 each from BRP.

I'll double check of course but I'm always careful to do just one filter at a time. Remove cover, replace filter and o-ring, replace cover.

Also looks like you have to order them in quantities of 10 from BRP.

A good hardware store should have either length bolt in quantity ea.

Most places have an industrial supply store; we have McFadden Dale, Fastenal, Nevada Bolt, and ACE. Those bolts are common sizes. Bolts break and strip. Replace as required.

with the bolt mix ups but if you do one at a time, as I always recommend, it may be that that one has been over tightened a time or two and just gave up...

You can get metric bolts at any Ace Hardware Store

Fresh oil and almost full tank of gas, treated with Stabil. Let it snow!

i said a long time ago, that BRP uses cheap bolts. they are not hardened. i tried to remove a fender support bolt, and it broke on me
