yea so im outside attempting to put on my cage and i come upon the locknut bolt (long bolt) on the rear engine mount bolt. I got the honda book it says I need special locknut wrench and gives a part number for it...ughh...is there any other way to loosen this thing without that tool I kinda wanted to get this thing on like now.

Black03R1

Is anybody out there??

I dont think I can just take the nut off it feels like something is guna snap so I must need this stupid tool. again the nut is the right side rear engine mount bolt. bolting up or atleast trying to bolt up SI cage

Not sure what you're talking about. What cage do you have?

DirtyToes

i took that **** out with a regular wrench and socket....

what kinda cage are u tryin to install?

btw, once you get the nut off...the 10-14""(i forget which) is real easy to take out. u gotta kinda pull on it as you loosen.

I have an SI cage putting it on my 01 f4i prolly shud have specified. The Long bolt aka rear engine mount bolt..well on the right side it has a locknut. now I went at undoing the nut like i normally would but its tight as hell and it feels like somethin is guna snap. in the honda book it says somethign about a locknut wrench and shows a picture of it. do i need this thing to unscrew that nut or what?

DirtyToes

oh btw, use a big *** wrench to open that **** up.

if i remember correctly, i broke the gears of TWO of my wrenches trying to loosen it.

DirtyToes

lol

as i said in my last post. that things is extra tight....the only thing that can snap is your wrench?

Black03R1

yea thats what im sayin it feels like either the bolt or my wrench is guna snap. I was guna put the beefier wrench and maybe a pipe on it to undo that bitch but i didnt wana go nuts on it if i need some special tool. tryin not to F **** up ya know

DirtyToes

wait...

are you using your wrench on the long bolt, or the nut on the other side?

ur supposed to loosen the nut first...then the long bolt will come off.

Black03R1

yea i was on the nut. i moved up to the bigger wrench and it broke loose pretty easy. I guess I was just bein a ***** cuz that 3/8 wrench felt like it was guna snap sumthin if i went any harder on it. Im all good now thanks man

DirtyToes

glad to hear u figured out

DaHammer

put a car jack under ur motor and lift it up about a **** hair, it will release the pressure on the bot n will make it a whole lot easier

or just use an air impact because that's what they are designed to do, break loose bolts.

Good choice for your cage :YEAH

binder929rr

ya, dizzle is right, that cage is awsome. be careful if it starts bending though, once it bends to the point of no return you have to cut that ****** off....mine is at that point after a few SS coaster crashes. bike is still perfect though!

fbodyhp

si good choice

yea about an hour after dirtytoes made me realize i just needed some extra TQ to break that loose everything went pretty smooth and i had the cage on. My bike is FF so the majority of the time spent was hogging out the plastics. Cage looks tight as hell tho I'm very happy with my choice. It was an EZ decision tho since everyone here says they kick ***. Also thanks to HAI once again for their great service!
