Question re: Push rod retainer screws
Bike: 2010 Forty Eight
I have been switching out my zinc bolts for stainless. Is there anyway to get these 8 screws switched out with doing a full disassembly? The rear screws are awkward to get to.
I have a service manual.....just asking for advice....maybe someone has a simple solution I am not seeing.
Thanks

What type of allen wrench are you using? If you get some with a ball-end, it will be easier. Break them loose with the short end then flip it around and use the ball end to remove them. Just replace them one at a time.
You can wrap the wrench with electrical tape or something to protect the pushrod tubes from being marked by the wrench in case you slip.
