Hi there,
I've got a new Beowulf stainless steel Radiator guard waiting to go on the FZ6, however my attempts to remove the old one have so far failed.
The new radiator guard includes side panels that I will replace the old side panels that hold the plastic guard in place, so I set about trying to loosen the 4 (2 on each side of the radiator) 4mm hex bolts that hold the side panels in place.
The 4 bolts seem to be either stuck fast of they were last put in with a dab of thread lock.
I don't to wreck the heads of any of these bolts getting them out as that would create a bigger, more expensive problem to rectify. Had thought about using a hammer (assuming it's thread lock) to try and loosen it, but I don't want to damage the radiator or the cooling system.
Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone have any suggestions for removing the bolts?
