This has to be one of the harder jobs I'm doing on my bike!!

i don't recon it's been off for the life of my 91 softail, tried centre punch and 5 pound hammer, they will not budge!!!

will use the propane and impact driver over the week end!!! Barsted of a job F@&k!!!!

Last time I did it I snapped an Allen key and then just welded some bolts on and got them off that way. Rotor was fucked anyway so I didnt care.

they will be loctited in for sure, a little heat, tighten loosen, tighten loosen type action usually works, if it's an allen head go get a descent inhex drive for your 1/2" drive breaker bar
good luck with it

Breaker bar or impact driver (my choice) with a good bit. Never had to resort to heat, but better to get the fuckers off than to make it harder.

thank you for all the tips, I managed to get two bolts out before the allen key tool piece snapped, cheep tools let me down, I have go into town to order a better quality allen key bit!

 

thank Fark for that!!!

finally removed all 5 bolts, the last bolt had to have a nut welded to it corse it stripped! just waiting for the new rotors to arrive!

new disks arrived,new brake pads thrown in, damn lucky I changed the rear rotor! On inspection I found a hair line crack about 5mm long on the back side, the bike has done 98,000kms and im sure they were the original rotors,

I've thrown in a couple of pics, the finished product.....i'm farking happy

 

 

 

Looks a treat.

Nothing like a bit of bonding with your bike in the shed !!!!! +1, she looks a treat !!!

Looks good.

Thanks Mark and Neale,

I definatley agree with 1 on 1 shed time with bike, i've had the last two daysoff and spent alot of it in the shed, replaced head light plug, removed rotors and replaced brake pads, rotors on! farking heaven i recon...

she looks awesome. youd never pick her for a 91 based on condition.
