I used a socket wrench with a long breaker bar handle, came out pretty easy. On the Muzzy's they recommend using anti-seize and loc-tite when installing new.

What size socket wrench did you use ???
- I was approximating with my allen wrench and I didn't want to strip the bolt.

Finally got the bolts out - they had "Red" loc on the bolts - makes sense. The size of the wrench needed for anyone who wants to know is 8mm (basically took an 8mm allen and dremel'd it down to about 1 1/2 inches and then used as a socket wrench with a long ratchet (that gave me plenty of force). Putting in the Muzzy Frame sliders were easy from there. And, they look great - like they belong on the bike.

sometimes a little heat is good for red loctite, to prevent pulling the aluminum threads out with the bolt.
