M416 Restoration part 1, disassemble.

Unread post by Mr. Recovery » January 9th, 2010, 5:25 pm

I started the tear down this morning, I am glad I took the time to spray all the nuts and bolts last week with PB Blaster. :) I took the fenders off 1st. 5 bolts each, took about 10 minutes, then 8 bolts holding the tub to the frame, 3 across the back, 3 down the center of the underside and 1 on each side at the front corner, took about 20 minutes. So, 30 minutes and the tub was on the floor :D 8)

Harley tool kit - one pair vice grips, one adjustable wrench,one medium hammer and one screwdriver.
Pretty much the same kit for BSA and Triumph with the addition of an impact driver.

Can sleeves are for wussies! A die hard Harley man will never let a beer sit long enough to get warm, No sleeves needed.
