Fan Cover

joe100 · 10-15-2010, 07:31 AM

I recently got a 79 H-D gas for nothing it needs to be restored I'm having a hard time getting the fan cover off. So far i've broken two driver bitts on the end of a hammer driver and have soaked it for a few days and have tried heat. I'm thinking as a last resort of drilling the heaad screws off what does anyone think about this? Any secrets or somthing I haven't thought of. Thanks Joe

Lots of penetrating oil, not WD-40. Then I used a ratchet and driver bit, lots of pressure and lots of leverage with the ratchet.

If you are able to heat them safely. Try putting water on them to break the rust. get them hot first then the water. Remember safety first.

I dont think this is a good idea. Sorry. You risk cracking the cover.
