Rocker post removal

Should have been an easy job, to upgrade the post to a better quality post. However looks like CB Performance had seated them in with thread lock. 

The original post was very soft with threads simply not allowing enough grip to torque out. (Threads quickly turned to moosh, hence why I was changing them)

In the end resorted to the extreme but proven method of welding a quality steel 15mm nut on the end to gain some leverage. 


Not a great fan of threadlock for this very reason, especially in areas like this where vibration that would unseat a fastener isn't present at any event. 


New posts in but would have been whole lot easier, had they not been cemented in with thread lock.
