Step 1 of 5

Using and allen key, loosen the bolts on the cross bar you wish to remove.

For best results:

  • Ensure the allen key is correct size for the bolt head.

  • Ensure the allen key is seated in the bolt head fully.

  • While applying downward force on the bolt head, apply a firm anticlockwise force. Sometimes a quick 'crack' motion will help to break the loctite.

Using Heat: If the bolt still won't budge, i.e. if blue loctite has been used, heat can be applied to the bolt for 30 - 60 seconds using a soldering iron or gas match.
