Perhaps removing all strut bolts at the same time isn't so smart
|
|
I had already removed the front bolt on both sides and I was loosening the second rear bolt when I realized that the fender might do something rather interesting with NO bolts holding it to the struts. So I decided I should go ahead and pull the sissy bar from the bracket so I could handle each side independently.
No more pictures here probably because this is where I really ran into a booger. I removed the sissy bar from the bracket. That WAS the right thing to do, but I didn't actually do it before I realized it. Getting the rear strut bolts lined up was nothing short of an epic struggle. Here is a summary of a smarter way to do this:
Remove that sissy bar from the bracket (T27 torx I think). Take the front bolt out of one side, swing the bracket up and put that front bolt right back in (after applying Loc-tite). Remove the rear bolt and then the bracket is free! But get that bolt back in there right away. Repeat on the other side.
Should you encounter this rear bolt alignment challenge even doing it one bolt at a time, I used a screwdriver with a round shaft that was just the right size for the hole. It enabled me to work the fender back into alignment and then I put the bolt back in place with no trouble.
