Hi guys, im new to this forum and i have a quick questions, i recently bought a 2006 thunder mountain keystone and i want to replace the tires on the bike because i do not like the ones that came with it, i took off the back one in my garage with no problem, but im having a lot of difficulty taking off the front one. I have broken 5 wrenches trying to take off the screw, and still nothing, i used craftsman so the store replaced them but i dont know what to do, please help.

I wonder if those bolts were put on with the loctite that requires heat to loosen? Have you called the dealership where you got the bike?

[Keystoneboy]

i did not buy it at a dealership, i bought it from a friends friend who stopped riding

[Keystoneboy]

i bought it from a friends friend who stopped riding, not from a dealship

Welcome aboard,K-boy

You did'nt say which bolt/screw you're having trouble with and/or what size..which may or may not might help

And (long shot here) are you sure it's not left hand threaded ?

[unclepsycho]

Could they have possible used a left hand thread??? just a thought....

oh and welcome to the forum, you are in the right place to solve this challange.

I have no clue what a 'Thunder Mountain Keystone' is, but as has already been said, if (red) Loctite was used (rolls eyes) then you'll most likely have to put a little heat to it. Don't use the plumber's propane bottle, get one of those little butane jobs that are smaller and put out an isolated-concentrated heat.

Keystone - Thunder Mountain Customs this is the bike i have, the screw is the one that goes thought the front forks below the shocks that goes through the middle of the front wheel

Keystone - Thunder Mountain Customs, this is my bike, the screw thats giving me problems is the one that goes through the front forks below the shocks that also goes through the middle of the front wheel, this is getting a bit frustrating by now
