Trying to remove a fork leg but cannot get the rear section of the front mudguard screws undone, they are just spinning. There appears to be a plastic/rubber washer on the back which I cannot grip. Having already sheared one bolt elsewhere I am being cautious! Is there a knack to this or something obvious that I am missing. Any advice (polite) gratefully received.
The parts catalogue https://www.worldoftriumph.com/collections/100066969-0-2?type=sprint-st-from-vin-208167 shows the mudguard as secured with a mix of wellnuts and non captive nuts......so they will spin unless held. I’ll leave you to work out how. Water pump pliers?
I had the same problem last winter and a small saw and careful working was helpul.Don't buy these wellnuts from Triumph! I got my from amazon for some cents!
