FENDER BOLTS
Break the thread lock loose BEFORE you try to remove the bolts.
To break the thread lock loose
· Heat the head of the bolt with a soldering iron to melt the thread lock
· Hit the head of the bolts with a hammer (first, cover the bolt with a piece of rubber or cloth so you don’t damage the bolt or the bike)
· Break the bolts loose with an impact driver
· Hit the Allen wrench (hex key) with a hammer to force a better fit into the bolt
· Turn the Allen wrench clockwise – this might help to break the thread lock loose
• If the Allen head is damaged, try a larger Torx/star bit and hammer it in. This worked for me recently.
You need a: 6mm metric Allen wrench (not U.S.)
