i do need a tork wrenck! that beind said, i was trying to take the bolts out when i snaped it.
im not sure if its the same in canada eh...but in the usa it "righty tighty,lefty loosey" you goin the right way?
smart ***
thinking back 5 years...
i had the same issue.1 bolt broke off and the other wouldnt come out because the shaft kept spinning. i cut the head off the other one to remove shaft and put in vise and drilled them out and put new longer bolts in. i didnt use a tork wench but im only 1/2 the size of you and tony and mikey. so you big guys might need to use proper tork specs...lol

I put some scratches all over that new YZ450, now I want/have to keep it.
When we stopped and took a break from the muck we were steaming and you could see your breath.
There were several clifftop view points and the mountain peaks in the distance were salted white.
I think Rude will get rideable snow down low before the Northwest does up high though. Better hurry Jer!

i did a wet sand with 1000grit then use extra fine steel wool couldent get it any better
Your starting off a bit to fine.. go down to a rougher grit..320 and go finer with each grit up to 2000+ the finer the better.. then buff with a good compound.. its a ton of work and not worth it in my opinion..Blings for posers....

1000, or 2000. I would only use that fine for paint. I have used 120 (on aluminum)without water and then buffed with Flitz and ended up with a SHINY finish.
Its all a mater of expectations..2 to 4K will give you a mirror..
