So, I recently had my tire changed. Then when I took a trip of about 120 miles I noticed a weird sound coming from the rear end of my bike. When I stopped to check it out. I see that the chain adjuster cap broke and the bolt on the inner chain adjuster was bent outwards with the nut off taken off a little bit. How could this has happened? And would it be easy for me to replace and fix the problem myself? (I have motorcycle stands and all the basic tools for the job I think)

Here is a pic of it now. (I tightened the nut so the cap and the swing army are touring now.)

I already purchased these parts:

75-11012-1871-18R : CAP,CHAIN ADJUSTER,BL
75-33040-1116 : ADJUSTER-CHAIN,INNER
75-92015-1364 : NUT,8MM
75-92015-1658 : NUT,FLANGED,8MM

Is there anything else I need to replace?
