seized bolts on alternator cover

<< < (2/3) > >>

SteveD CB500K0:
They're not expensive - just go to Halfords!

I bought one when I was at Uni and still use it (that was 1976...)

Dave M:
An impact driver is a must for a Jap bike.

I've had mine for nearly 30 years and wouldn't be without it.

JonnyB:
Ditto, to all of the above + penol (Penertraing Oil) and a blow lamp. If a bolt is looking a bit stubborn I soak it over night in penol and next day try again, if this doesn't work after a couple of attempts, I lightly warm (not blasting hot) the aluminum casting around the offending bolt then try.

OLIVER1GEORGE:

OLIVER1GEORGE:
