 |
|
Hi there I am trying to unscrew the bolt that holds the left footpeg on my SB8R - see on the image
Seems completely blocked and I would prefer not to break anything
Is there a trick or something special here ? Am trying to turn anti-clockwise but is this the good method ?
Thanks |

Salut,
En plus c'est une empreinte 6 pans => très facile à abîmer
Tu as mis du dégrippant apparemment => ça ne suffit pas ?
Il faudrait une clé plus longue pour avoir plus de force quitte à essayer avec de l'outillage facom (douille alène + rallonges + clé à cliquet)

Applying some heat might also help. But as Damien says, good tools are also important. If you end up with a round hole in the screw's head, the only resort would be to drill it out.

Merci everyone
I finally managed to unscrew it after heating for a moment with a hairdryer and using a quite long lever… and pulling gently … gently😅
Pop !! It came
And the screw is not damaged
The bike is now with a reverse gearshift - which I find more intuitive- like my other bikes |
