What size Allen wrench removes '23 Heritage rear footpegs? How do I get the one I buggered up? TIA

Thought it was a Torx, like a T45, not an Allen.

 

Its definitely a torx, T45, just had mine off not long ago. I had to get a longer T45 key and a cheater pipe. Broke my T-handle, and the hole was too narrow to fit normal ratchet bit down. Only thing i found in town was longer torx keys instead of longer bits. I ran out of PB blaster, but I wouldve tried to spray some behind it first. Sometimes helps loosen up factory loctite.

---Had I stripped it, I would have but the bullet and just cut the bracket down with sawzall, so I could get my screw-out/extractor on it. I eventually want to replacement the rear pegs for footboards so wouldnt have been too big a loss.

Good luck

 

I confess that after reading the various horror stories on this forum about removing the rear pegs, I had the dealer do mine while I had the bike in for a minor repair.

For some reason the MoCo decided to drown every fastener in Loctite.

 

+1. I wish I would've took a pic, almost the whole bolt has loctite on it when it came out. Few threads, maybe half on the heavy side at most. This was like they dipped the thing and wiped off the head lol

 

I was rather gobsmacked by the amount of loctite on my saddlebag screws. It was indeed like they were dipped.

 

I have done a lot of unbolting on my bike. Pegs and peg brackets were not bad. The kickstand bolts were the toughest by far.

 

Got it fixed. Once I chose the right tool and positioned it straight into the bolt everything worked out. Thanks for your help.
