...you've WD40'd, taken off the fairing around it to get complete back and front access to it... but STILL cant get the nut off to remove the fairing?

Is it rotating when you undo it? , ie the brass nut (usually covered in rubber) has seized? , try some pentrating oil then mole grips on the brass bit (hard as the brass bit is completely round) while undoing the fairing bolt.
If it doesn't come out you get a nut spliter thing for £5 and split the brass thing.
If its in a place where you can't get a nut splitter in like my Africa on its screen bolts I sawed the off, but in doing so generated so much heat it melted the fairing slightly.

hi,
i removed a fairing bolt from a cbr the other day.
was seized pretty solid.
got out the dremel & smallest cutting disc.
making sure i didnt cut the plastic, i cut a slot in bolt head & removed the offending bolt with a huge,flat bladed screwdriver.
(maybe the vibrations off the dremel loosened it slightly, but it slackened with a satisfying "crack".
if that hadnt worked, i was going to grind the head of the bolt off, with the pointy grinding stone attachment, remove the fairing & thenremove the leftover bolt stub by cutting a slot in it & using the screwdriver, or molegrips.
worked for me numerous times.
if your going to do this, surround the area with masking tape, so the sparks dont mark the paintwork.
cheers,
GAZ |
