I have not swapped the engine mount bolts out yet ,I attempted to do so

the top one came out "fairly" easily but the bottom one is going to be trouble ., it seems it is so tight that the 6 point socket i had was in danger of stripping the bolt head out ,I am going to get a 12 point socket which should fit tighter, soak it in LPS or WD40 for a few days then try my elec impact wrench with the 12 point on it.I really do NOT want to have to deal with a wrung off bolt thats in there that tight .Soon as I do manage to get it out I will post what bolts I use to replace the stock ones with. My OEM Grom chain adjusters that go inside the swingarm and loop the rear axle bolt are due in on UPS today, so later i should be posting me re-doing the back end of the bike though, so thats something i guess lol.
