I just loosened my comp bolt so I can put the new chrome housing on. The bolt wasn't hard to get off at all. I made a locking tool and just used my large torque wrench...no heat or banging. Maybe the bike being new has something to do with that. I guess I'll put a few drops of red on when I reinstall...probably can't hurt!
