#232875 6hrtbt3 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 627 Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Those of you that have extended your floorboards, how did you get the bolts that hold the floorboard bracket to frame, broken loose?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #232877 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Those may be the most frustrating bolts I have ever come across yet! I used PB Blaster and a rubber mallet to finally get mine broken loose. Never went the heat route, although it would been much quicker. Good Luck...   Logged     2004 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232878 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I used a torch about 20 seconds or so on each bolt and they came right out. That's RED Loctite holding them in.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #232881 cdrprn (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 416 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Yep. Heat and a hand impact wrench did it for me. My bike has loctite everywhere. Even the bolts on the rear fender eyebrows were a b@#$% to get out. You'll get used to it.

Then replaced them with hex heads. sucks with no garage, no place to put all the tools and stuff, no place to work, now I'm past poor, so it don't matter. lol   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/23 16:12 By Erbman02.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #232894 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1267 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Use care and good tools. No ball end hex keys for these babies. I have stripped out the heads twice and wound up drilling the heads off. Once the head is off the shaft will turn out with fingers. Try heat, it did not work for me, but has for many. When you put them back on do yourself a favor and get standard bolts to replace them. Sooner or later you will want to remove your boards again and once is enough with these bolts. There are numerous strings on this so check them for more detail on getting these buggers out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #232939 6hrtbt3 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 627 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   What a pain in the butt that turned out to be. Yes cruiserbob I did strip the allen heads. Ended up using heat and a chisel and notched the head and slowly worked them loose. One came loose with only a allen wrench and a rachet. Would have taken me an hour longer if not for the easy one. Put hex heads back so next time will be easier. I think they dip these bikes in red locktite before they paint them. Anyone know the length of the brake line, my is really tight stretching it 3". Think I will have a new line made with an inch or two extra.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #232945 shacky (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 630 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   6hrtbt3 wrote: Anyone know the length of the brake line, my is really tight stretching it 3".

That brake line does look very tight   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #232950 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   did ya remove the keeper back behind the frame/swingarm area, that should give ya plenty of slack..   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/23 20:52 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #232951 6hrtbt3 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 627 Re:Bolt Removal 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I don't think I did remove that one. I only removed two, so evidently there is another one. Does your brake line rest up against the transfer case cover after doing the floorboard extension?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
