how to take out the points?

[GSQC]

Hey folks I am in the process of replacing my points by a dyna-s unit Can you help me with the technique of unscrewing the center bolt holding the points?

Is it counter clockwise or normal bolt?
I have tried to loose the screw by blocking the wheel but it did not work

your help will be really appreciated

Uhhh, the center bolt does not hold the points.

The points are held by two screws each to the mounting plate, which is held in place by three screws aroung the perimeter.

yah you do, get a spanner on it and give it a sharp wack with a hammer, it may have been loctited on, the smaller head bolt not the larger one

Yes left to loosen. Your dyna s prolly comes with a new rotor which you will have to install so yes, remove the small one and the big one, both left to loosen.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty, tighty whitey, it's all much too technical. Just get a bigger hammer and go at it.

It's just a detail, but the bolt does not hold the points.

It does, however, hold the advance mechanism, and you will have to remove it, but it does not hold the points in place.
