FAQs

Are these bolts compatible with other Shimano drive units?

No, these plate fixing bolts are specifically designed for the Shimano DU-EP800 drive unit. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.

How many bolts are included in this set?

This set includes a total of three (3) genuine Shimano plate fixing bolts.

What tool do I need to install these bolts?

Typically, an Allen key (hex wrench) of the appropriate size is required. Consult your Shimano DU-EP800 manual for the exact tool specification.

Can I reuse my old bolts if they are not damaged?

While old bolts can be reused if they are in excellent condition and free from wear or damage, it is recommended to use new, genuine parts for critical components like drive unit fixings to ensure maximum reliability and safety.

Do I need to apply threadlocker?

Shimano generally does not recommend threadlocker on these specific bolts unless explicitly stated in their service manual for the DU-EP800. Using unapproved threadlockers could damage components or make future servicing difficult.

Where can I find installation instructions?

Detailed installation instructions can be found in the official Shimano service manual for the DU-EP800 drive unit, available on the Shimano website.

Troubleshooting

Bolts do not thread easily.

Ensure you are using the correct bolts for the DU-EP800 model and that the threads on both the bolt and the drive unit housing are clean and free of debris. Do not force the bolts.

Drive unit plate feels loose after installation.

Check that all three bolts are tightened securely and evenly. Ensure the plate is correctly seated before tightening.

Bolt head is damaged during tightening.

Use the appropriate tool (e.g., Allen key) for the bolt head size and apply steady, even pressure. Avoid using excessive force or an incorrect tool which can strip the bolt head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These bolts are specifically designed for the Shimano DU-EP800 drive unit. Ensure your drive unit model matches this specification before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bike is stable and the drive unit is accessible.
  2. Carefully remove the existing or damaged bolts securing the drive unit's outer plate. It is recommended to do this one bolt at a time if replacing existing bolts, or if replacing all, ensure the plate remains stable.
  3. Align the drive unit plate correctly.
  4. Insert the new Shimano DU-EP800 plate fixing bolts and tighten them evenly in a star pattern to ensure consistent pressure. Do not overtighten.

Care: These are metal components and require no special care beyond ensuring they are clean and free from corrosion. Regular checks of bolt tightness are recommended as part of routine bicycle maintenance.
