#10931 WhiteStarNC (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 426 It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Would someone tell those engineers a Yamyhaw that they are supposed to use LocTite on the screws, not permabond! Did my AIS removal tonight, and took an act of congress to get some of the screws and bolts out. I even reviewed that &quot;righty tighty, lefty loosey&quot; thing just to be sure. Oh yeah, when you take the tank off, there are 2 circular backets inside, that mount on to some vibration dampeners under the tank. As you take the tank off, you do not know they are there. When you put the tank on, and it does not go all the way down, then you take it off again, put it on again and it does not go all the way down. Then you have a long talk with yourself about why the heck you wanted to do this anyway............that's when you will find them.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #10933 RoNNiE (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Always best when touching any of Yammie's phillips screws ,,,,,,,DO NOT use an older screw driver,,,,,a perfect fit is essential,,,,,semi-new or brand new is best. Also a posidrive screw driver , although similar , is'nt a phillips and will strip out those superglued screws quickly and efficiently.<br><br>Post edited by: RoNNiE, at: 2006/10/21 22:06   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #10934 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Hey WhiteStar Wait until you change the exhaust or try and take the floorboard bolts out. You've only got a taste of stuck so far. 2 words - Pencil torch. So. You didn't know about the rubber dampeners huh? Tank don't go on worth a damn if you don't get them inside the flanges ya know.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #10937 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Like Musky said the flooboards are put on with super glue I put the small Engine guards on my bike one side came off like it was finger tight the other I cut a gash in the head with a dremel and then beat it off with a mini sledge hammer and a chisel.....before that I used a torch and an air wrench.....Coug This link will give you some help ie exploded parts views next time you turn a wrench http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/pages/parts/home.aspx Post edited by: Cougar, at: 2006/10/22 07:50<br><br>Post edited by: Cougar, at: 2006/10/22 07:52   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #10938 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Cougar if ya want to post a hot link use the URL button or type (url)......(/url) on either side of yer copy then paste or your typed link using SQUARE brackets instead of the round ones http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/pages/parts/home.aspx<br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2006/10/22 06:09   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #11029 RoNNiE (Visitor) Posts: 0 Re:It's LocTite, Not Crazy Glue 5 Years, 7 Months ago   Took the left (shifter-side) floorboard off when I did the chrome timing cover,,,,,,,,,used an allen driver a 3 inch extension and a 1/2 inch drive long ratchet,,,,,,,, came right off with a little effort. Have'nt had the need to remove the other side ....yet...... if it ain't broke,,,not gonna fix it. Maybe they ran outa superglue when they assembled my Star.... although the screws on the AIS sucked, almost striped one.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
