chappssss Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I bought a set of puig sport rider footpegs. Right one went on fine, but the left one does not seem to have a removable pin. I do not own any power tools and have never used them on a bike before so my DIY experience is minimal. Can someone explain the best way to get this thing off? Tools needed and pictures would be a definite help! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You will need to drill the fat end off the pin going through the original footpeg. Electric drill and a large drill bit required. Very quick to do, so perhaps you can borrow a drill? 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappssss Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 @BBB Wouldn't a drill just drill a hole? I'm not sure how to cut the end of something off using a drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madeuce216 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You can use a dremel or a cheap angle grinder. Grind the fat end of the bolt (the end closest to the ground). When it's ground down enough, the pin will pop off. You are then free to remove the bolt holding the peg and install your new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappssss Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 @madeuce216 Once I get that off, I assume I'll need to buy a replacement.

xlxr Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Google how to drill out a rivet head. You stop drilling before you get to the hole the pin is in. Then use a punch and hammer to push the pin all the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quick to do, so perhaps you can borrow a drill?I've done this twice now, so if I may: you do need a very sharp (new or almost new, preferably) drill bit, and to keep up pressure steadily when drilling the old pin out. 1 Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

crempel Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Its really very simple. Once you're done you'll wonder what you were worried about. Drill with a large bit from the bottom side. Took me 15 seconds max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madeuce216 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I did the FZ6 mod and just used the pin from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisperquiet Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Old thread renewed........I drilled out the left footpeg pin in a few minutes using a 1/2 drill bit. It was pretty easy to do and I installed an 8mm bolt/nut combo until my new pegs and replacement clevis pin arrive. This was done on my 2019 Tracer GT.
