taking off frame F4i i'm taking apart my bike to get everything powdercoated but i'm having some trouble with the right side frame bolt & lock nut... the one that connect the frame to te swingarm... i took out the axle and the left frame side is loose from the swingarm but the right side is still stuck :banghead it seems to be a 21mm size allen bolt with a special lock nut over it... i went to the hardware store but had no luck finding a allen wrench from 21mm... is there a way to get this loose without having to buy some special honda tool? thanks in advance kristoff:cheers |
Re: taking off frame F4i go to your local honda dealer and ask them if they can rent it to you for a day. :2cents |
Re: taking off frame F4i When I do my frame swaps I use a big bolt....The head of the bolt is a allen....Find a bolt head that is 21mm and use a big ass pair of vice grips or weld it to a socket....It is a ghetto way of doing it, but I promise it works well....:2cents |

I welded a grade 8 bolt that fit the allen size to an impact socket and used a breaker bar. and be careful when it goes back together and do not over tighten, could overload the bearing and break it. had it happen when I got this bike i have now. the previous owner when they had the swingarm polished it was put together WAY TOO TIGHT and snapped that bearing on the right side. |
