trouble w/ bars

Ok so I got my fast50s bars today which are pimp :YEAH Well when I started to take off the stock bars I got the 2 screws in the front off but like the big one in the middle won't turn at all and I don't know what to use to get it off. It's really pissing me off cuz both me and my dad couldn't figure out how to take it off. I WANT TO RIDE W/ IT AND I CANT. I lost my owners manual so I don't know if they say how to do it in there. So can someone please help me out. I'd appreciate it ALOT!!!

I used the old impact wrench, but since you implied that you don't have one, channel locks wil do just fine. Just be careful not to bust up your hands and the bolt.

That nut is not ALUMINUM it's stainless steel.

Use a big *** adjustable wrench, Channel lock pliers, best would be a socket that fits the nut. Then you won't strip it.

Last but not least pull some nut out of your underwear and reef on that goddamned thing like you mean it. It'll come off.

it just mild steel fellas. it has been coted with some sort of anodizing or galvanizing from the factory to prevent it from rusting. a magnet dont stick to stainless. lol. just grab it with your teeth. u should be able to get it that way.
