Tourer rear light screws removal..How????
 

I got a new rear light cluster for my Zt-t but the joy of It stopped me when I could not get the retaning screws that are boltet to the chassis out?:shrug:

Its just spinning around and having a hard time holding I In place while I turn It and soforth....:duh:

Anybody got a walkthrough or tip for me on this?

Thanks!

Hi Seb.
The rivet nut which the bolt enters as a tiny lip try centre punching this North, South, East & West, it should then slightly attach its self to the body work, add some plus gas let it soak then try to remove the bolt.

I read on here a member successfully used super glue to bond the threaded washer thing to the body and letting it cure, before applying penetrating oil. Let it soak overnight.

I was going to suggest a bit of super glue but you beat me to it

I hold a small flatblade screwdriver against the edge of the rivnut, then gently work the screw back and forth using plenty of penetrating oil.

Thanks guys!
I will have another go at it soon..:)

If you manage to remove the screw from the Rivnut fixing lubricate the threads then using a longer screw and a suitable spacer and washers, you can get the Rivnut to grip tighter so it doesn't spin by tightening up the screw ;)
