My favorite trick is to put a notch in the side with a drill, dremel, etc. and then whack it with a cold chisel and hammer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Stuck bolt

Soak it with PB blaster and use Impact if available. I agree with a new socket as well - old worn sockets = rounded bolt heads. Using Mapp gas would be the additional step. It burns hotter than Propane. You'll find the little yellow bottles in the hardware store next to the little blue propane

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Stuck bolt

I can try and take one later. I'm at work now. It's not completely stripped, but the corners are definitely rounded. It's one of the two 12 mm bolts on the underside that connect the pipes to the frame. So, to get to it you come up at it from under the bike. Not a ton of room to work. I

[Nighthawk Lovers] Stuck bolt

I bought a replacement exhaust for my '83 NH 650, and while taking the existing one off, I ran into a stuck bolt. One of the 12mm bolts on the underside that holds the exhaust to the frame. I tried a breaker bar, my impact driver, some liquid wrench, and some of those Craftsman Bolt

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Coast-to-Coast trip

First, I recommend that you get rid of that top box and strap a piece of Samsonite on your bike with bungees so that you can be cool. Then make sure your headlight goes out once in a while (I actually finally installed a new right handlebar assembly this week, so that's hopefully history). You
