I cannot find anyway in hell to loosen up the jam nuts on my J&M UCA. I have it in a vice on my workbench with an adjustable wrench trying to budge it loose but it won't budge. I have put heat to the nut to see if it would help but it didn't. I can't believe it is this tight! Does the factory torque these of something?! SomeMaybe someone can come up with an idea to loosen the nuts up? And no, they aren't being turned the wrong way. I feel like I am missing something but I can't figure out how to get it loose.

Thanks!

 

Are they left hand thread? Try going in the opposite direction...

 

+1 one on the left hand thread

 

I dont think they are reverse threads. I cannot offer much help besides getting an impact gun on them like I did.
Just did the UCA and LCA relocation brackets Tuesday, 1 hour install time, never removed the Upper mount, nor did I have to drop the gas tank.

 

I have tried to loosen it both ways. I feel like I am missing something. I follow the threads on sideI am trying to loosen and figure out which way to turn it. I have turned it both ways and can't seem to budge it. IDK what the deal is but this is killing me!

 

I am wondering if anyone else has has this UCA and has had trouble like I am having and what they did to solve it

 

I took it to someone I know at Pepboys to use their bench vise and that didn't work. I am at a loss for words at this thing, must be torqued to hundred's of foot pounds. I am taking the arm to Steeda tomorrow to see if they have any ideas on how to get it. Maybe they have seen something like this before.
