And don't ever put a pair of pliers on a motorcycle part again!!!! You have committed a sin and you must say penance! I'm sorry, that was a serious typo on my part. I really did not mean to type pliers. I have a set of wrenches but none of them seems to be the correct size to remove the nut. Now that I'm focusing and really paying attention to what I'm asking, can someone help me with the correct size of the wrench that will remove the nut. Since tomorrow is a holiday, I really would love to get this done then. See, I'm man enough to admit my mistake and to endure those rally corny jokes.   Logged     31 Tooth Pulley; Dyna 3000; BAK; Ported Manifold; Raked Triple Tree; BMS Pimp Bar; Headwinds 5 3/4 lamp; PIAA Xtreme White Bulb; Chrome Grips; Braided cables; Chrome longboards w/extended floor board extensions; side mount license plate holder; custom fender; LA Chopper pipes; Looneys Custom seat; progressive rear springs; custom turn signals.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137953 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

They should not be so tight that a normal wrench wouldn't remove them though. You can try removing the heads of the mirrors , and sliding a boxed end of the wrench over the stem nut , if needed.

BB Thanks man! I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time removing them. I have to go to the dealer tomorrow anyway. If I can't remove them, I'll bring them there--hell, I've thrown them tons of business and referrals--they owe me, big time.   Logged     31 Tooth Pulley; Dyna 3000; BAK; Ported Manifold; Raked Triple Tree; BMS Pimp Bar; Headwinds 5 3/4 lamp; PIAA Xtreme White Bulb; Chrome Grips; Braided cables; Chrome longboards w/extended floor board extensions; side mount license plate holder; custom fender; LA Chopper pipes; Looneys Custom seat; progressive rear springs; custom turn signals.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137959 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby?
