Yep Ron nailed it I cant believe its a Philips head though ! Why ????
Cheap bastards !!!! Heat is your friend when you are working with something that has been loctited But its not always practical to use a open flame . Use a soldering iron as suggested or elbow grease

Oh, is that the type of elbow grease I can buy at Bunnings, Mario?

Yep go to the trade counter and ask for some elbow grease and a length of string to carry it home with

hahahha, Shame you don't eat many of those magic mushrooms. You should also add that you have everything you own from jumping and kicking turtles.

I heard he has a bit of trouble getting his hands on a bar these days, he got half a bar once.

Its always an education to read post from beginning to end.
Not only to learn (the other reason for a forum besides getting your point across ) but to see how many ppl READ and how many just POST for their own glory therby missing the CORRECT answer several posts back. Lord knows I am not Robinson Caruso here.

So ask your self, in a social situation, say a party, do you lsiten to other ppl to learn OR just wait so you can bless them with your brilliance??
once makes you smarter, the other just removes all doubt

And I didnt hijack the thread, the correct answer was some time back

if your offended look in the mirror

So which one is "CORRECT" ?
Dare say that Sulli is the Man , but Neil has the award . Photomike has validity with the soft screw .
Now just for the rest of us that have had all doubt removed ,
What type of thread locking compound does Kaw use . Is it aerobic or anaerobic , is it "Loctite" brand and if so which number . Also how do you know if the temp has got to 375 F in the area that the compound is . Does a small soldering iron get to 500 + F . What sort of torque would be required to undo said screw when compound is softened ?
Thanking you , judge of all things CORRECT , in advance for the CORRECT answers .
Off to the mirror now

When a member posts a question and I have some experience through trade and work I will reserch for the answer to provide an unbiased answer hopefully from the manufacturer or from an authorative source
I personally have "burred or bent or eazy-outed nuts.bolts and screws which was not necessary due to lack of information " or advice from friends who after it stuffed up walk away cause it costs money
Neil was spot on with his info and an excellent method of doing it

Did my bar ends a few weeks back & the fuc!ers that decide to use philips head bolts should be shot!
1) impact driver did not budge it
2) use large PH screw driver & wrench for leverage no good
3) get mate to turn PH screw driver while I push on the end... yay

Now if mr kawasaki had used a allen bolt the job would be easy!
needless to say I have replaced the offending PH bolts with some nice stainless allen head bolts yum
