Screwed
 

Help!

I have bought a tail tidy for my new K5 SV650, but I am having a problem removing the screw that holds the side panel to the subframe, I have tried WD40, rachet screwdrivers, hammer! etc but it will not budge.

I am also having the same problem with the screw on the left side bar-end.

Tips anyone, as I have paid for items that I cannot fit :evil: :evil:

find yourself a piece of brass and a hammer then put the brass drift over the offending screw and give a sharp tap with the hammer this can loosen off corrosion on the threads be carefull not to impact too hard as the frame is a cast alloy.

or get a decent impact driver and the relevant sized hex bit for the end .

when finished change the damn bolt if damaged or put copperease on the threads on reinstall
