Bolt on controller RXV

[Billynjuls]

Please tell me the trick to loosening the outside bolt on the controller. It’s a 2010 RXV. I can get a 6” crescent on it, but can’t get enough leverage. About to pull the body.

Have you tried a socket?

Yeah, unfortunately there’s just enough room to get the socket, but not the ratchet.

The center pins insert from the top after putting the push pins back in the holes) so the cover can be lifted out. Take plenty of photos of how the controller is mounted and wired. Take notes if required on how the controller power cables connect to the battery pack...

Remove the black battery cable from the negative pack terminal. Remove the red battery cable from the positive pack terminal. Remove the bolts from the controllers B- and B+ terminals. B- holds the black battery cable attached, and B+ holds the copper strap from the controller side of the solenoid. Remove the top two mounting bolts from the controller, one on each side. This will allow the resistor mount/heat sink shield to be removed and laid to one side. Revove the bolts from the resistor terminal and the 3 motor terminals. Those 3 are color coded and lettered to match the markings on the controller. Remove the bottom 2 controller mounting screws, one on each side. You should be able to push the controller rearward, more to one side, then tip that end up and pull it out. The run/tow switch stays in tow with the key off until after you re-assemble the controller to the cart and complete the wiring work.

To put the controller back in, reverse the above instructions.

Thanks. I followed all the steps, it’s just the one controller mounting bolt. I got the inside one after some busted knuckles, but the outside one is kicking my butt.

Got ya. You'll have to wait on one of the RXV tech to help on that

Tried that too, but not enough room.

Maybe crowfoot wrench?

If he isn't the motor cables at last resort cut the cable. Just make sure it's a cable that can be replaced.
