Rear break disc bolts

[Gezzer Glide]

I bought some '06 FLHX wheels for my '03. I need to use my pulley and rear
break disc but I can't get the bolts loose on my rear wheel for the break disc. Is there any trick to this or am I just weak?

They are usually loctited. If you have a soldering iron try heating the bolts one at a time and break them loose.

You can also try to use a heat gun but than you have to be very carefully and look on the paint.

Heat and an impact gun

Heating the bolts will make they come out much easier. I use a benzomatic torch on the head.

One time on my old Sportster Ironhead I heated bolts using gas-jet. It worked great but it is very extreme method.

Thanks for the help. I will give heat a try.....

As most have said, you have to use heat because it is likely Red Loctite was used during assembly. On some of my metric bikes they used metal lock plate and bent up a tab to lock the nuts in place.

heat rattle gun and replace the bolts
