if anybody has taken off their r/r there's the metal plate right behind it and i'm trying to ge tit off

the problem is there's one bolt surrounded by a black circle but it's been cut off or it was flat, i have no idea how i can get it out so i can drill holes for a new r/r

anybody have any ideas or suggestions? if you've done so already can you describe the tools and procedure? i'm pretty desperate, wish i could just take a hammer and bang it out, don't even care about the threads

 

I was able to turn mine with a small pair of channel locks. If it's rusted soAk from behind with some bust o nut or some other penetrating lube. Good luck!

 

I just drilled holes for the gsxr r/r that i got with the plate in place. I used a piece of aluminum to space the unit off the plate to clear the infamous flat screw. Just make sure you get the bundle of wires out of the way that are behind the plate before you drill it. Or you can just cut a slot in it (the flat screw) and use a flat head.

 

i'd prefer to take the plate out to drill into, i don't feel safe with my own accuracy if i were to leave it on, might go right into that wiring accidentally

 

Heres what idodirt did I would listen to anything this guy says when it comes to these bikes https://cbrforum.com/forum/cbr-600f3...problem-85851/ he took his off via flat head. I unhooked the two plastic rings that hold the wires up behind the plate and just moved the wires out of the way. And used the aluminum spacer i made as a template to mark the holes.

 

+1 to Cr250r67's comment on IDoDirt's chops. He is defineitly 'The Man' with a
wrench! Moving the harness aside is a good suggestion, too.

Personally, I just ground the head off the bolt, with my angle-grinder.
Then, re-mounted the new one.

A tip, to get your hole spacing right....drill and mount from one hole, then while it's mounted, use the actual bracket/mount/etc. to layout the rest of the holes. Less
chance of a layout error when you use the actual part as a template.

good suggestions guys, guess I'll go tackle this sometime in the next day or two
