CENTRE STAND ISSUES

[zackvis]

Hi
Im struggling to remove the bolts on my centre stand they are very tight .Do they use locktite on the bolts ?
Any ideas out there.
By the way just fitted a Sena bluethooth kit to my shoei gt-air helmet its fantastic .I always used earbuds but they have been irritating my ears lately.Not cheap thou paid $340 plus postage.

I believe loctite(tm) is used - some heat may help the bolts to release. I like to use a very large old soldering iron my father passed on to me (made for soldering copper roofs) - but careful use of a torch would probably also work. Just don't get things so hot that paint starts melting.
