Quick advance cam question

I need to remove the advance cam assembly but the bolt seems very tight in either direction. before I break it off, is it by chance a left hand thread?




Thanks

It's the standard bolt type (turn to the right to tighten,left to loosen) Soak the bolt with PB blaster or similar penetrating oil followed by getting a block of wood and smacking the bolt with a hammer to break it loose.

Once you get it off use some silver anti-seize to make it easier to remove next time

You want to apply the torque to the smaller bolt,while you hold the other one with a wrench...13mm,and 17mm,if I'm not mistaken.It's been a while.
And yes,it probably IS corroded down in the threads.

And there are rubber parts on the advance mechanism,so don't depend on any serious heat to break it loose.

Kroil is a super penetrant that will get under rust. The larger nut on mine is 17mm. I think you can put a 17mm box end on the larger nut and then put a socket on the little one.
