Hey Guys,
I recently purchased and received some Fehling crash bars that I began to install the other day. When I tried to remove the 6mm hex bolt from the frame, the damn hex socket snapped in half and the bolt didn't even budge. :bom_veryangry2:
So today, I buy new hex sockets and try the whole process over again. This time, I'm paying close attention and I can feel the hex socket starting to fatigue and give. WTF? Does the factory use red loctite on these bolts?
So before I break another hex socket, do any of you guys have a better way of getting the damn hex bolt out without breaking the socket or the bolt itself?
Thanks for the help
