Moto Hooligan Butterflies

Looking for some tips on the removal of the stock secondary butterflies, specifically removing them from the shaft to replace with the Moto Hooligan units. I've tried heat to help loosen the locktite, but any pressure at all the the philips head of the stock screw starts to strip....Help!

Thanks!

had that problem just recently when i did mine.

Do you have diffrent sized phillips head screwdrivers..? I first started with one I thought was right on but it bit and stripped bits of the screw head, I then used one a little larger and was careful but got it off.

Other than that maybe use some multi-grips and lock onto the head of the screw.

Or take the TB's off and work on a bench where you are safe not to let any debris into the cylinder.

Plus one on the slightly larger screwdriver. Apply a good amount of pressure down onto the screw when you turn them off. And pray to the GODS.

Other than that maybe use some multi-grips and lock onto the head of the screw. This is what I did, Used a small pair of multi grips.

After much heating and no success, I noticed that the primaries have the end of the screws peened (sic?) over (mushroomed) on the back sides so they can't back out, and, lo and behold, so are the secondaries...all the heat in the world won't cure that! So it looks like I'm going to gently grind that off with a dremel tool...tomorrow...I just can't figure out how they do that with the shaft assembled...obviously you can't put the butterfly on first and then insert the shaft into the throttle body. Oh the world of special tools!

Thanks for the tips guys...

As for the pressure part, I'm afraid of damaging the shafts in some manner....

You must use a 'brand new' #2 phillips from a reputable tool manufacturer, i used a 'snap-on" and mine came out and i actually used them to go back in. Two of the new supplied screws would not start properly. Loctite RED too!

Been thinking of leaving mine OUT ,,,

It might be wise to pull the throttle bodies if you are getting that involved.
PITA , but easier than a top end tear down if you drop something.
Me? Left the stock ones in, so far.

weird....mine came right off but it did require some effort. wrong driver size?

one of the supplied screw stripped! I used the OEM one instead.
