#292566 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . . Platinum Boarder Posts: 1220 Re:Removing the fender bolt under the seat 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I've seen too much leverage snap the head off the bolt. Not a pleasant place to be ! ! !

Seems to break it loose fairly easy. First time was tough but now my bolt is nearly worn out from the fender going on and off a bazillion times.   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #292607 FNG17 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 297 Re:Removing the fender bolt under the seat 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Sometimes I've had luck with placing a punch in the center of the bolt head and give the punch a few whacks with a hammer. Then loosen a little, tighten a little until it frees up. Just my 2 cents. Oh, and Good Luck!

If it breaks get a new bolt. At least it is easy to get to.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #292622 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:Removing the fender bolt under the seat 1 Year, 11 Months ago   This is the long bolt that holds the subframe onto the bike frame? Just whack the nut side first with an impact gun or breaker bar first, then break the bolt loose.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #296374 midniteridr (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 47 Re:Removing the fender bolt under the seat 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Thanks for all help/suggestions. Rode over to a friend with bigger tools than I had and he easily removed the bolt. Probably just needed the longer handle for leverage. Had little time as I was leaving on an 11 day ride from MN to VT on July 2nd.   Logged     [img size=450][/img]C:\\Documents and Settings\\Linda\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Midniteridr   The administrator has disabled public write access.
