Lower Farings~ removal
I've got a 2017 Road Glide Ultra (twin cooled) that we're taking to the paint shop. We've pulled everything apart except the lower fairings. The HD manuals says the lower fairing can be removed without draining the entire system (according to the manual the components will just hang about) but we can't get the two screws (both sides) at the bottom-inside of the fairing to come out. The screws spin on one side while the washers spin on the other, we thought we'd stripped them but both sides are the same.
Anyone take their lower fairings off? Any advice? Is there a special tool?

found the answer...manufacturing defect caused the brass nuts to fail. They are heated into the plastic, the technigue was done improperly.
Solution: If it is under warranty, they have to break the lower fairing and replace them. If it isn't under warranty, drill it out and replace with a regular nut, bolt, and washer.
Thankfully mine is under warranty!
