Heel shifter bolt
I want to remove the heel shifter from my 2014 street glide special but I am having a hard time breaking the Allen bolt that compresses the shifter on the spline. Does anyone know if this Allen bolt is "right handed" ?

No, it's a normal bolt. It does have locktite on it so it will take a little extra effort.

They're right handed threads, just very tight, it feels like the bolt will snap. Try to use a 3/8 socket wrench with the proper Allen bit size .

and be sure to tap the socket in place of you'll feel like it us stripping when in fact its just not seated.

Can't be as bad as those PIA front speaker pod bolts

At work I use a heat gun with a temperature of 750 deg. get it nice and toasty then remove the bolt.
