I have a question. Iam getting ready to remove my stator on my 2006 Dyna. I read the material Harley uses on it boltsto prevent loosing is very corrosive, destroys threads, and must be totally removed from thethreads. Is this true.
What does the service manual tell you to do? I would look it up for you but my manual is in the garage and I can't get to it for a while.
Not sure what you were reading but I can't imagine that HD uses a threadlocker that destroys threads.
You can always just get new bolts.
However, I'm sure those who have done it will be able to tell you.
