I cannot be the only one to break off one of cfmoto's high quality zirk fittings. If anyone else has, I need your expertise. it is on a rear lower driver side control arm. I assume "easy outs" are the way to go unless someone has a better way. What size easy out would I need?
Had a 2017 Zforce 800EX, traded to a 2020 Uforce 800

The one I broke was loose enough that I could just spin it out. If it was tight there is already that 1-2mm hole already there. Any with a starting taper that would fit that should work. These are 6mm zerks. I got replacements from Amazon. I tried 90s on the a-arms but some hit the frame so went back to straights on those.

Without drilling one like this is probably pretty close at 1.9mm. Check the hole though first.

Maybe insert the square handle end of a small file in the zerk and twist?
These aren't typically tight on the Moto's.
