Micro 335 Limb Replacement

[Richman]

Hey All,

Had a limb break in November. Got a set of replacements and now I need to install them. Any tips or tricks ? Torque specs for bolts or just crank em down?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance for any help

I have done it a few times, and I'm sure there are specs. for the bolt size with torque values. That said, it took a lot to break them free, and I gave it back to them when reinstalling. No need to go crazy, I used a 3/8" ratchet setup about 7" long, and put probably 120 raw pounds to them. Don't use a cheater, that should do it. Make sure to put any shims back where they came from! Remember, some bolts you are removing may have been lock tited, I recommend cleaning all holes, and fasteners, and a drop or two of Blue Locktite will do a great job keeping them set! Tighten the straps evenly too. Try to bring them home without tilting them.

Make it a learning experience, you sound like me, a LIFER!

Crank em down. Use a good Allen wrench. No Ikea leftover tools

^^ A good set German Allen set made by WIHA has been my go set to for the last many years. They make a notable difference over cheap Allan sets commonly found at cheap prices.

Beware of the High Cost Buying Cheap.

I had to file the pockets to fit the new limbs. The new limbs were a few mm wider. I took a file and filed off all around the limb pockets till the limbs fit in without making a mark on the paint of the limbs. Good luck!

Thanks for all of the responses.....especially the Ikea comment. I had two of their fine wrenches on my workbench from putting up the grandkids bunkbeds last month.

I did notice the hardware to install the new limbs is a different design than what was originally on the bow. Looks like the new design would keep a person from over tightening the straps on the limbs.

Also forgot to mention I was fortunate enough to have taken a buck the day before the limb broke.

Thanks again Excalibur and all on this board

Nice to hear you got the buck first! Lately it seems everyone has missed the buck of a lifetime BECAUSE the limb broke . Congrats
