VROD rusty clutch cover bolts

by Editor on 10/29/23

As if I needed another reason to swap out my OEM bolts to Colony Chrome...
Two of the 14 clutch cover bolts were very badly oxidized BUT look at the heads, there’s no sign of a underlying problem
Luckily they came out without breaking!

I cleaned the female threads going into the case with Q-Tips and alcohol and was able to turn the bolts by hand when I was done.
