    I have a 03 ultra I'm having trouble getting the bolts out of the rear rotor is there a easy way? I broke one torx bit so far and figured I would stop and ask questions first.Thanks

    if you have the rotor on the bench, use a drift and hammer to tap the head end of the bolt, this should break the "tension" of the bolt. personally i have never seen the pad pin bolts tight enough to ruin a torx wrench. was the wrench of a quality grade?? hopefully there isnt any green or black locktite on the threads.....that will require some heat.

    Hey Chuck...I think he is talking about the bolts that mount the rotor to the hub. :confused: I think the pad pin bolts are a 12 point socket.

    Heat them up to loosen the locktite, will come out much easier!
