Hi,

Just got my FZ6 this summer and, being a newb rider, I've decided to add frame sliders "just in case". Anyway, I ordered a set and tried to fit them this afternoon. However I'm having trouble with the existing bolts. Assuming I'm trying to remove the right ones, they seem to be fitted *very* tightly to the point where I'm worried about breaking the alan-key tools or the bolts if I apply more pressure.

I was wondering if you guys had any trouble or advice on how to best remove these bolts?

Thanks!
 
Buy a torque wrench. They are tight, but not THAT tight. 55 Nm or 40.5 lb/ft. The Craftsman wrench I have displays both simultaneously. If you can take pics of the bolts you are looking at, that would help us to know you are getting on the correct ones.

Notice the right slider is the short one.
