One of the rubber saddlebag isolation mounts on my 2013 Heritage has shredded due to my over-tightening the nut.
I've bought the replacement...my question is: is there an easier way to remove the stuck remnant base of the old mount than drilling it with a speedout or something similar?
That's the one. It's right hand threads - I have the replacement in hand. The rim is pretty narrow, so I didn't think it was wide enough for vise grips to gain purchase, but I'll give it a crack. Thanks!
