Handlebar Help

Putting in a radio, oil temp and oil pressure gauges and switching handlebars to the Kromeworks +2 on my 2009 Electra Glide Standard. Everything was going perfect until I got to the bottom two handlebar clamp screws. They are under the lower edge of the radio enclosure. I managed to break them loose with a ball tipped Allen wrench, but even turning the screws with my fingers and pushing and pulling on the bottom edge of the fairing they are not coming out. I don't want to break or mar the fairing. Any ideas?

It looks like your only a turn or two from having them out. I think when I did mine I lifted that lower fairing piece with my thumb to make room for the bolt. I did one side at a time without any presure form the bolts against the plastic.

I would take off the 2 screws per side that hold on the blinker brackets. This will allow you to tilt the inner fairing fwd. and get the screws out. If your this far already the rest is easy.
