#21569 ARCTURUS (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Exhaust Bracket 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Hi Everyone I just removed my stock exhaust from my 05 R* and am trying to remove the rear exhaust bracket from the frame has two 8mm allen bolts everytime I attempt to remove the allen socket snaps down two already, Any Suggestions Thanks Arcturus   Logged     Arcturus is the brightest star of the northern hemisphere also known as the Guardian of the Bear by the Greeks   The administrator has disabled public write access. #21570 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Exhaust Bracket 5 Years, 1 Month ago   It's probably the Yami loctite. I used a torch to heat up the bolt heads to melt the loctite and they came off OK. Aheat gun will work too. Some have even made a hair dryer work.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #21680 ARCTURUS (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 111 Re:Exhaust Bracket 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Musky Thanks so much for the tip "CHEERS" I picked up a mini butane torch and it worked great I was able to finish my new pipe install Today I am ready to jet the carb Arcturus   Logged     Arcturus is the brightest star of the northern hemisphere also known as the Guardian of the Bear by the Greeks   The administrator has disabled public write access. #21681 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Exhaust Bracket 5 Years, 1 Month ago   You're welcome.

Some have even made a hair dryer work. a set of impact driver allen bits is also a good investment, as they are quite a bit stronger. the torx bits in the impact set can also get out rounded off allen bolts out with a bit of care   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #21691 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Exhaust Bracket 5 Years, 1 Month ago   ARCTURUS wrote: Musky Thanks again for the advice, I will let you know on the results as for the manifold porting , will it add better performance or smoother acceleration, or which will improve the most. Thanks Arcturus Well, kinda all ot the above. If you look inside the manifold it has square 90 degree corners with a flat back. Can't be good for even airflow. Poring rounds out the square corners and improves the flow, mix, and breathing.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
