Motorcycle Repair: Honda goldwing gl1200 ltd, gl1200 ltd, honda goldwing


Question
I'm replacing the stator on an 85 Honda goldwing and I am having trouble getting the last engine mount bolt out, it's the one that runs along the top right under the seat, an suggestions? I have a jack under the engine putting slight pressure and going up and down with it to try to relieve some of the pressure on the bolt itself but nothing seems to work and I'm afraid that I may damage the bolt, not wanting to replace it.

Answer
Hi Larry,

Really no trick that I can tell you. If the bolt is stuck you may need to
pry as you turn it or vary the weight as you have been doing to get it out.

Have a look at the engine removal page and see if it helps:

Also the stator replacement page:

Sorry I can't be of more help but this is a "gotta be there" kind of problem
and being online makes it difficult.
