[QUOTE="Rheal, post: 862771, member: 27327"] MajMach! I figured such a big socket would cost me 30 to 50 buck! but I checked good old Canadian Tire! Bingo, 36 mm socket for $11.59. (plus the $25 for the torque wrench I purchased 2 weeks ago.) So the rain let up yesterday afternoon, so I got to it and installed my GenMar risers. Great improvement in riding position. As an aside, I was going to add Locktite to the case lock screws. Those are TORX screws (no problem, I got those) but I still could not get them off! There is a small center stud in the center of the screw head that prevents us from inserting the TORX wrench! What the F**K? My screws look nice and tight (09 model year) but I've seen the postings, so I expect that sooner or later they will become loose. How is everyone getting around this problem? is everyone using pliers or something to get those TORX bolts out and then replace them with something easier to manage such as Allen head bolts? Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
