Or a length of pipe over the end. I would also take a center punch and strike the inside of the allen bolt to shock it and break the bond. Similar affect as an impact driver.

 

If you're doing any of your own wrenching on a Harley, you really need to buy a set of allen head sockets. Even a cheap set will get you by, with a socket and 3/8" ratchet you would probably be able to break that bolt. Almost impossible with a hand key wrench.

 

ya i better buy a set of allen sockets hummm.. Harbor Freight.


MUARY my bike does have two positions for the front and rear floorboard bolts .

i moved them both up on the right side . now working on the left side .

lots of good suggestions so far.

 

Just go and get the propped socket. Buy just the one you need and it will only cost a couple of bucks. That way you do not have to MacGyver a fix. Also as said before PB boaster is much better than WD-40. Buy some when you get the socket.

 

Allen sockets are a "must have" with a Harley!!

 

Try to find a 1/2 drive one. It will be stronger especially if it is impact rated.

 

I got a set of hex sockets from Lowes when I put my Harley Goodies footboard extensions on. My Allen set wasn't cutting it. Especially the left side..... Even the BFH wasn't helping.

 

Try Kroil penetrating oil-one of the best. Use a socket and Sears sells a hand impact you hit with a hammer.

 

Not sure if i can get a socket or a impact driver on the bolt as it is in a very tight spot on the inside of the frame . i will take a few measurments before i go tool shopping.

 

Just pick up a universal swivel with the sockets. It will get you on to the bolt at a bit of an angle which will be what you need.
