AlanFJ Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 One of the fairing bolts on my 600 Divvy has rusted, and when I try to unscrew it the retainer underneath just turns round with the bolt and so won't unscrew. I'll bet I'm not the first to have this problem, so what's the answer? I can't seem to find a way to grip the fitting under the fairing. Go easy on me, I'm new here.

Difficult to answer when you cant see it but i'd guess that you will have to drill the head off the bolt then remove the retainer thats not fixed properly any longer, Soak the etainer and headless bolt in penetrating oil for a day or so then try to remove the bolt shaft. When (If) it comes out wash all the penetrating oil off and araldite it back where it belongs,,,Sounds easy does'nt it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
