My biggest complaint while working on this bike the annoying socket head screws... I am trying to install my interface and top cover chrome kit, and need to remove the transmission top cover.. They are in there so tight that I nor anyone else I have had try can get these screws to budge, we even broke the hex key that we were using trying to break it free.

Anyone have tricks or special tools that makes these easier to break free and remove the overtighted socket head screw?

 

These work good.

Will this work with a hex key?

 

I have one just like this one. I have both allen and torx bit 3/8 drive sockets sets. You just set the bit in the socket head and a light smack with a hammer and it's loose. Not sure if you have room for this tool after reading your post again. It's still a great tool to have if you do your own work.

 

Maybe a little heat would help!

 

They probably have loctite on them. Try tightening then Loosening. Do this a few times until they break free. If this fails heat might be needed but be careful not ruin any finishes or burn anything.

 

If you find you need heat, try a soldering iron.
