Side Rails Coming off - Sort of! HELP NEEDED.
05/14/10 at 15:20:35

OK, so I got home on Friday afternoon and started to work on the removal as part of the turn signal process. I have 7 of the 8 bolts out, HOWEVER, the center bolt on the right side seems to have a rounded off head. It feels like someone tried to use a wrong size wrench (maybe inch size?).. The 12mm that worked on all the others tries to fit, then spins. Any suggestions?

vise-grips... Huh

Yeah, that's in my plan for tomorrow. The rain hit the North side of Houston this evening, so I pushed it back into the garage. I just went out and squirted some Liquid Wrench around it and I'll let it sit over night, and try it again in the morning with the vice grips.

Bummer! I was so close, but it seems like it never goes a smoothly as you plan. Sad

That's probably why I waited for the week-end. Wink

OK, Siderails and sissybar are off. Replacement bolt found for the ones that had rounded heads. New turn signal mount & Saddle bag supports fabricated and painted. Let all the paint dry over night, and if it stops raining, I'll assemble tomorrow

If it keeps raining tomorrow, I may be too sick to make it to the office on Monday. Wink
