Removing rocker cover bolts Knack to it?

[Stewart H]

I want to replace my rocker covers, is there a special trick to getting the bolts out of the old covers? I have a set of new rubbers but the bolts will not pull through.

1 2 3 and push.

Either pull harder or try and push the rubber seals through... may damage them as they go hardand brittle so best get some new ones

Be careful ...

... when replacing them as they are quite low torque; 8nm springs to mind

blingy stainless ones look really good.. and whats more stay looking really good. just a smidge of copper grease on the threads and job done.

(these from Ebay - seller has a post in the 'vendors' section here too I believe.)

Job done I must have been too gentle with it
