Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech How the heck do I take the taillight posts out ??p

I know what you are talking about. It is not as simple as just putting a wrench to the nut and removing it. I know the darn thing wont turn will it? Or the whole assembly just turns huh? I didn't need my long chrome light extensions anymore because I put way smaller ones in. Sooooo... I was able to put a monkey wrench on the posts and destroy them to figure it out.
They use some sort of glue (not locktite either) to hold the threads together. It was very hard, clear glue. I could not unscrew that nut without holding the post, and still, that was difficult. There is a slot on the end of the post but all you do is destroy that because it requires more force to turn the nut than there is strength of the slot.
I wish I could give you a option that wouldn't involve clamping down a grip on the post and scratching it, while turning the nut, but I had found no other option. I have no idea why they made this so tough.
But the post is threaded to the light and to the nut! So it is suppose to just unscrew like normal. F.Y.I.
