Has anyone ever removed the stock undertail?
I am removing the tail subframe and it looks like the whole undertail has to come off to get the front bolts out. I am very dismayed. I thought that tight spot between the subframe and the undertail presented a great opportunity to use my new gearwrench. Now the gearwrench is trapped because the bolt is threaded out until the head butted up to the undertail. My gearwrench has a one way ratchet. I would have to take the gearwrench off and turn it over to turn the bolt back in, but as I mentioned, now the gearwrench can't come off. I'ts just hanging there trapped.
So I need to take the whole %$$(& undertail off? ... or maybe just the front fasteners under the fuel tank? ...or will that under tail flex enough to thread the bolt all the way out? No way, the edge of the undertail is ribbed there for extra ridgity.
This is not the gearwrench but you can see what I mean. Shoulda stuck with the open end. I'm screwed.
