Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

My dealer just said he's guessing 2 months as Honda couldn't give them a date... Based on the photo I provided above...do you think I could just drain the rest of it from the bottom and fill it up with new coolant while the broken bolt's still in there? Then replace that coolant again when the new s...

Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

I'm in the US. I ordered from my local dealer and they said the part's on backorder and they don't know when it's estimated to arrive. They gave me another dealer to call, same story. PartZilla just shows "ships in 2-3 days" on my end, but other parts say "In Stock". I'll try Ama...

Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

Update: I ordered the bolt from RevZilla and they cancelled my order as it turns out they don't actually have the part available. Is there another place I can order from?

Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

It turns out it's a plastic bolt and there's already a little hole going down the middle of it. I asked my gfs dad to take a look and he suggested the easy out tool as well and it'd be a piece of cake for him to remove. Wish us luck. New plug should be here in a week or so and we're going to wait fo...

Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

If you don’t have an electric drill it means your tools are relatively sparse. Take it to a body shop or an auto repair place and they can have it out in 30 seconds with an EZ out tool. Order a new plug before you take this one out. It turns out my girlfriends dad has a drill. I'm probably just goi...

Re: HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

My other idea was to heat up a flat head screwdriver and press it into that to try and create a "flat head screw". I don't have an electric drill.

Can I glue the top cap to it and try to gently unscrew it?

HELP! Coolant Drain Plug snapped off inside the hole

I was changing my coolant in my 2016 Honda PCX and I overtightened the coolant drain bolt causing it to snap off inside the hole. Obviously I need to order a new screw/cap now...but how the hell do I get the screw out now? I'm so mad at myself right now. I didn't refill the coolant and I'm going to ...

Re: Coolant / Final Drive Oil

Definitely want this beauty to last years and years. I used to live in a city where my commute was 5 miles or less at all times, which is why the mileage is so low. I'm in a place now where I'll easily be doing 30 mile joyrides alone. So I should replace the final drive oil every 2 years, or do I do...

Re: Coolant / Final Drive Oil

I do not know the coolant you showed a picture of, so I cannot say whether it complies with Honda's specs for the PCX, but, my official PCX manual says this... Pro Honda HP Coolant or an equivalent high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing silicate-free corrosion inhibitors. The coolant sy...

Coolant / Final Drive Oil

Hey all. I'm looking to change the coolant and final drive oil in my 2016 PCX150 for the first time and I'm trying to make sure I'm using the right stuff. I saw Mitch's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oNMirMiJls) of him changing the coolant in his PCX and he used the gallon pictured below. I...

Re: Stuck Screw On Front Brake Master Cylinder

Just got my JIS driver and it removed the screw no problem, even in this partially stripped state. Ordered a couple of extra screws to replace the current ones just in case.

Re: Stuck Screw On Front Brake Master Cylinder

Thanks all. I've ordered a JIS screwdriver with a few different tips for it and will leave it alone until it arrives. I don't want to strip it more than I already have. Will update when I try it.

Stuck Screw On Front Brake Master Cylinder

Hello all Today I tried to change my own brake fluid on my 2016 PCX150 for the first time and I cannot for the life of me remove one of the screws on the reservoir cap. I used the correct size screwdriver, WD-40, rubber bands and a hammer on the screwdriver with zero luck. Has anyone had experience ...

I had no idea there was a dealer on the Island. Where'd you get it serviced?
