    Rad Shround Bolt.

    by dirtbikermicah » Sun Dec 16, 2007 9:18 am

    Is there anyway of removing these Radiator Shroud bolts, without damaging the gas tank? I saw the "How-To" article from Skoot, that was for the 450x. but i was wondering if i can do that without damaging my tank.

    My Problem: the shroud plastic slipped off the bolt, and i cant get it back on. so i need to remove the bolt and put it back through the plastic then put it back on.

    Any one understand this post? :lol:

    If you have the bolt stuck in the hole still, try to get a small flat tipped screwdriver in there, and hold it tight while you extract the bolt. If you can get the bolt out, use a washer to prevent it from coming back through the plastic. Let me know if that helps any!

    Did you try giving it a good coat of WD-40 or some other kind of oil, and see if it will help it break loose?
