Oil cover stud - replacing with new

[Barneycanoe]

Replacing all three on my wife's 1979 GS425E.

I know the depth they have to go in. I am going to use blue threadlocker on the crankcase ends.

They won't go in with my finger pressure. If I use an acorn nut to put them in, how do I get the acorn nut off without unscrewing the stud back out inadvertently?

If I am right on what your doing, then you can use two nuts on the bolt, once you have it tightened down, put a wrench on the bottom bolt, and unscrew the top bolt with a secondary wrench, then the second bolt will come off as well, probably by fingers...

tighten the two nuts together, this will allow you to turn down the bolt

kinda like this, but the 2 nuts on one end only...

Thank you. Although I have ten thumbs, that looks like something i can do

yup very simple.....even with 10 thumbs....hehehe

once the 2 nuts are tight against each other, you can use the top one to tighten down the bolt, and follow the rest of what I mentioned earlier to remove the 2 nuts...
