rear engine bolts

mizpah · Jan 5, 2010

can somebody please help,ive bought a set of crash bungs for my(07)rsvr had a go at removing rear engine bolts only to find the inside nut is just turning,ive tried always to get a spanner or socket on the nut but theres no room,do you have to remove the exhaust to get to these nuts or is there an easier way,:confused

any help would be appreciated, cheers lads

I did the reverse. Took off crash bungs and put new bolts in. Its a tight squeeze but can't remember there being a major problem getting at the nuts though?

You can do it mate no problems. I even used a standard spanner to do it- keep at it mate, its just tricky.

I took the little plate off the exhaust to give a little more room, and so I didn't cut myself as it's ******* sharp

Watch out for the little toothed washers, I never did find mine...

I don't remember it being difficult, except I had to borrow a 15mm spanner to get the Aprilia bolts out. Fitting the bung bolt was easy, I had to threaten the bolt with a rubber faced persuader, but once it was in twiddling the nut on was easy...
