My fear is that they are hex bolts, stripping one of those is no fun.Did you try a breaker bar?
So that's why they call you dead eyeI use impact drivers as a last resort. The reason being that you have to hold the driver while you hammer it - you can guess the rest.
Mine is ancient and doesn't have the 3/8 socket end. I guess it's time for an upgrade.the impact driver has always worked really well for me, the impact shocks the threads and usually breaks anything that has bonded it in place
its a great tool to have in the tool box and
Ive only ever seen dirtbikes by them, did they make street bikes ?Mine is ancient and doesn't have the 3/8 socket end. I guess it's time for an upgrade.
I think I bought it to take apart CZ cases. Probably only a few people even know what a CZ is.
Not only do they make still make guns, but they make guns so hard they were able to buy colt.CZ made good firearms also. CZ still exists, they just don't build bikes and guns anymore. They make forklifts now, and maybe some tools? Not sure on that last part.
The riser nuts shouldn't be loctited, but they do use locking-style nuts. Spray some pentrating lubricant on the threads, should make em come out easier.Definitely not reverse threaded! I pulled my clamp yesterday to flip my risers around, and all 4 bolts of mine were actually various stages of tight. 16 Ft-lbs is the torque spec on those.
Never did get those risers flipped around either. Riser bolts at the bottom of the triple tree, which I think are only supposed to be about 30 Ft-lbs, were on the tight side. Those I think are loc-tited
