Need advice on something

[ksquared]

I would like to remove the bolts that clamp the steering stem so that I can refresh the reflector brackets. Can I remove both bolts on one side and not mess up the stem position on the fork? I'm talking about item 8 on the attached graphic. My reflector brackets, item 2, need paint.

You can take them out no problem.

Thanks tevan. Would you or anyone here know how much torque should be used for those 4 acorn nuts?

Thanks! After seeing that figure, I realized it was probably in the shop manual that I haven't yet had a chance to view.

No worries. Manual has torque values at the beginning of each chapter
