horrible video

real quick

Diablo blades no joke. They make wood shop carbide tipped blades and they are the only thing I put on my table saw, miter box and circular saw. They cut through oak and any other hardwoods like butter. I don’t know why I didn’t check to see if they made other styles of blades. I’ll definitely have to give these a shot for my frozen lower strut mount bolt. Thanks for sharing!!!

Can’t see what you’re talking about.

finding a replacement bolt is the impossible task with this method.

I have the exact same saw and HF blades lmao. I’m glad i saw this cause i am cutting my control arms out this weekend. Just ordered diablo blades. Thanks for saving me some time

Thanks man!!!

Same year as my Sportster 1200 custom and will keep this in my library. The video helped me locate where the oil hose goes into that fitting with clamp so thanks 👍🏼 sorry this happened to you for I know you miss riding, good luck with your repair and I subbed on. The Texas heat is approaching and I'm not looking forward to it 😎

I went thro 20 blades too...headed to home depot on easter...damn control arms!!!

What if its the one that goes to the frame?! I'm stuck

These are the worse motors in the world to remove. I hardtailed mine. Painted my frame. It was a freaking job to get it back in and not destroy my painted frame

Fantastic right to the point after a quick explanation!! I have the same sawzall. Pick up blades and bolts to get er done tomorrow!! Getting the old 97 Jeep XJ ready for a 1000 mile move!

Harbor freight blades of any kind are garbage

3 years? My Sportster engine blew out at 47K miles. The Harley dealer wants to charge me $7,000 for a new engine and installment but I was thinking about buying a used engine and installing it myself. Why did it take you so long? Was it the learning curve? Since I myself have absolutely no idea how to do this.

I was getting ready to have a shop remove the bolt for me because I felt stuck. Gonna head to hardware store to pick this up ASAP. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Was stuck in a bind yesterday went to buy the Diablo blades but all out. Had to go with the Milwaukee similar to the Diablo ones. Hope they work. But ordered the Diablo ones will use these from now on.

How's it holding up?

What if bolts are discontinued?

Hey my 05 sportster died on me while riding. Filled gas and changed oil. After I tried starting it again there was a rapid clicking noise. So I jumped it with my car and it turned on but it would die when I released the throttle. Turned it on again and had to keep the throttle steady idle. Also after that my speedometer blacked out and my back brakes became soft.

This video was a tremendous help diagnosing my own, thanks a ton.

Thanks for the straight forward video and the thoughts on the Diablo thick metal blades. I had some ceased bolts on the rear track arms of a 2011 BMW 328 in western PA. Thank God I found some at a local place and tried them against several Lowes blades that I had on hand and the difference was amazing. The Lowes ones were binding and one actually broke. The Diablo blade went through the bolt and the side of the arm. By the way I was using the same Harbor Freight $20 dollar saw. Thanks again!

After u install a new motor and getting everything hooked back up. Will it just turn back on or do u have to mess with the odometer

I did cut the bolt even with that still can't get the control arm to remove

Thanks for the tip! Diablo blade worked well cutting the upper control arm bolts on my Escalade.

I was trying to remove bolts from 2009 ram 1500. After hours, I watched this video and did the same. In few minutes I cut all bolts w Diablo. At the end, checking the bolts I notice that it would be impossible to me to remove them. Thank you for your video!

Where did you get the replacement bolts, i need to get the one which is behind, bolt and nut the one where the bolt goes through bottom and top is the nut

The bolts you cut off cost more then the control arm itself

Thanks for this video! I'm going threw the same situation on my 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6r Limited. I was trying to figure out what tool to use properly to cut the bolt off since I don't have a plasma cutter. I've never heard of those Sawzall blades before but I am going to look them up thanks again.

Im currently in the same situation, I just ordered me a sawzall to cut the bolt off

Takeaway for me is that I wont be buying that 1200 conversion kit

I saw a video where they laid it down on the right side and unbolted then it slid out and they stood the bike upright with no issues. Did the same thing with putting it back on. Would you recommend that? Engine had no liquids.

Thanks bro that was it!

I’m stuck in the same boat I have 09 Lexus control arm bushing Noam won’t come out F#%# my life Thanks I will have to try theses blades 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is good to know! I've been using a fuse tap adapter on my headlights fuse since power doesnt get sent until I turn the lights on. Then have a time delayed relay to turn on 6 seconds after it gets power.

What if it doesn't start when I jump it that way? I see it works every time in every video I see but when I go to try it nothing happens, any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you for this video, I had a seized lower shackle bolt, watched your video Amazon dropped the blades and we done, thank you 🙏

Looks like I need to try this blade. I’ve been stuck on this for days. I was using the Diablo vehicle dismantling blade but that did do it.

Those Diablos were also the best at cutting cast iron pipe, at least 50% faster than the Milwaukee Cast Iron blades.

So I have an s&s chopper and it sometimes won't start, won't click or anything, not a sound, all the lights and power is on but nothing. Then later I go back to it and it starts. Gonna have to park it until I figure out exactly what the problem is. Don't wanna get stuck at some damn gas station

I just used a Diablo blade exactly like that one to cut thru a lower shock mounting bolt and I was done in 5 minutes, what I had spent hours trying to do the day before.

Very educational and very precise we need more brothers like you on KZfaq Thank you for the input and the information safe riding

Just what a beatup engine needs, bigger cylinders 😆

Thank you for making this vid duder... I was about ready to destroy all the engineers at Harley and destroy my engine with a 20 lb Maul hammer I've been fighting this thing for 3 days been tilting the bike going straight in going in crooked still couldn't get it in... But tilting the motor besides the bike worked

too bad we couldn't see the mph gage..

Good look🤙

How did you source your motor the ones online are crazy expensive

My Harley doesn’t even turn on the lights ! Can’t figure out what it is !

Thanks bro. Very helpful!

Yep...Mines 20 yrs old...This is what im gonna do...DIABLO is the best
