Ok, is it always so hard to get my engine bolt out to put frame sliders on??? Ive been crankin on this thing, it wont come loose.... any advice??? :O

 

[poach]

It should come right out. When you say "won't come loose"...do you mean the bolt won't loosen in the threads, or the bolt is loose but won't come out?

 

[kingsfan003]

i mean, it wont loosen in the threads....at all.... ive tried using alot of leverage on it too, and it wont budge at all.

Spray a bit of WD40 or similar penetrant on the bolt. Wait 20min, then try again. If it's still no-go...spray it again and wait 45min then try again.

If this fails...it's impact wrench time.

fasho. thanks. will do.

Oh and be careful "cranking" on it. You put too much godzilla on that thing you'll snap it off at the head. Then it's down to the hardware store for an easy-out set.

Don't let the name fool ya though...dicking around with easy-outs is anything but easy...

ya it was tough getting my motormounts out too... remember only remove ONE at a time or it will be hell getting them back in.

what kinda frame sliders you get?

try moving the bike into a cool place too... and the WD40 trick is a good one too.

try the living room under the A/C :devious

 

[kingsfan003]

thanks ya'll. I ended up getting them out....just took alot of muscle (not like i could provide much), WD40 and patience. Ill be getting my exhaust and sprocket/chain set up on there soon, and pics will follow!

WD40 always does the trick!

Next time, besides de WD40, tie the screw or bolt and then turn to the other side few times, that make that job easier
