I needed, and found, the correct screws for the Rear ABS ring.

[TerryTheSpyderRyder]

I had to replace the screws that hold the rear ABS sensor ring onto the disc, on my 2017 F3S. The problem is, no parts diagrams on the Can Am parts page shows the ring or the screws that hold it on. I even tried different years, and in all the brakes sections, the rear ring and screws are missing. So I grabbed one of the old screws, went to my friendly local fastener supply store, and was able to locate the right screws.

For those who don't have such a shop locally, if you order online the screws needed are M5-0.8x10mm metric flat head socket cap screws.

Why did I have to replace mine? Some idiot, who chooses to remain anonymous, galled them while removing them to replace a disc.

Ps: the heads take an Allen key, not Torx.

Here's a handy little device to have in your tool box - If you got an old bolt or nut, Metric or SAE, you can find the size to order new ones:

Thread Checker Device - https://www.amazon.com/Manalete-Thr...fastener+identification+device,aps,102&sr=8-2

If the threads themselves are not stripped out, this device will tell you what size the bolt or the nut is, with no measuring or guessing.

And a good thing to remember is that BRP puts Loctite on everything, a little heat will assist you in the easy removal of such fasteners!

Does anyone know what the thread locker is? Is it Loctite? I can't find yellow anywhere.

The yellow stuff I believe to be 3M 2353Y. It's pre applied to the bolts and activates when it's threaded into a hole. I think it's only available in industrial applications, as in you can't just go to the auto parts store and get a tube of it.

I've seen 3M specifically named on some of the OEM bolts when ordering online.

I would not over think the thread locker and try to match it; just use a standard Loctite. Blue is my favorite color, especially if I may take it off again!
