Header Removal
I throwing this here again in hopes of more traffic and help......
'16 FLTRU what are you guys doing to remove the headers? With this being a liguid cooled bike, I'm a bit leery to pull off either of the lowers in order to get to those exhaust bolts. Can anyone share some pics or suggestions to what you did or what types of sockets, wrenches helped you with this process? HD didn't give very much room on them to get in their and do it.
Maybe some pics if you have them? Haven't found much in the way of a helpful video on it.
TIA

Same here with my '15 Limited... 1/4" drive socket & extensions, wrench for one of the front nuts although I have used a ratchet/socket with no extension for that one also.

Ok.....just down there looking it's just a super tight space to get into for the top bolt and didn't know if you guys were doing anything special. Please keep the tips and tricks coming though. No telling who might have a winner winner chicken dinner idea!

I used a 3/8 with an extension. Put a towel on the fender for the front bolts.
Just take your time.

Going to be working on it this weekend. Removing my Rush system and going with the Pro Pipe along with my FP3.
