Hey all. I got my PRM skids yesterday for my 04 Rappy and I got to the last factory bolt of the factory swing arm skidplate and I can't for the life of me get it broke loose. I've used vice grips, channel locks, hit it with a hammer and the head of the bolt is almost round now. I think I'm screwed and I have a big ride Sunday. Any quick advice on how to get this thing out would be great. Thanks

 

Try putting some heat to it.

 

dont heat the bolt though.. heat the spot where it goes into the swingarm.. gunna be tough with the plastic skid pans...

just get a metal chisel and hit up under the bolt a couple times REAL hard and it should come loose, it has worked every time for me.

 

I agree with the Sears bolt/screw extractors. Also you might want to try some Hoppe's gun cleaning solvent on the threads. Let it sit a bit and penetrate. It's magic. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

PB BLASTER penetrating catalyst, they sell it at wal mart. spray it on, wait a few minutes and it should come right off with a little help from a chisel
