kickstand..any tips

[scarylarry]

Anyone out there have any tips for getting those kickstand bolts off?

I ended up having to use an impact.  I have a fairly compact one I use with an air compressor.   I also have an 18v impact that I suspect would have done the job. It is not very small and I would have had to lift the bike inorder to get it underneath.  Maybe a friend has one you can borrow.

I ended up borrowing a friends 24" breaker bar.  Still a pain holding the bolt on top by myself but got it done.

why you removing the kickstand entire assembly?

If not going to use the parts on it, I need the spring and bolt underneath.

I had to loosen the bolts to add the jack adapted and as I recall used a 1/2" ratchet with a cheater pipe and held the head on top with a box wrench that spun around and hit something solid enough that I could loosen the nut.  I think I gave them a good shot of penetrating oil first.
