There was a thread on here recently discussing some of the ways of doing this, but I can't find it again for the moment. I fitted the Bizzy Lizzy kit a few years ago and it has been good. I tried all sorts at the time to stop the stud from rotating, but the only one that worked for me, was to remove the rear side panel on the Tourer and use a long fine nosed set of pliers through one of the small holes to hold it.
I hope someone comes along with a easier option, but this one was the only one that worked for me. |

Hi Bergen.
You could try a good sharp centre punch north, south, east & west, round the edge of the of the rotating fixing point, which may stop it from turning enough to remove the bolt. You could also try drilling two small 2ml pilot holes and the add a couple of panel pins through the holes to stop it form turning highlighted by the green dots in the photo below, blue dots indicate NSEW points. 1

Arctic (who else?) recommends punching small dimples north, south, east and . . . west on the rivet you can see as it may grip sufficiently for you to undo those pesky bolts. I had the same problem recently but failed to get them out without distorting the hole. I've had to use rubber rivnuts (see eBay) to provide a safe replacement. Good luck.
