I'd like to adjust the camber to neutral (I'm slightly positive camber), but the Holeshot skidplate I have covers up the adjusting nuts & rods. There are 2 screws up front, but the rest are rivets and there's no reaching those nuts with only 2 screws removed. The skidplate will not bend down far enough and if forced, will probably break. How does one get at those?
 

You can pull your pipe, and then take the bolt out of the bulkhead that holds the radius rod you need to adjust. Yes it is a pain, but it can be done. It is pretty easy to drill out the rivets and replace them too, just don't hit anything like the wiring harness with the drill bit. I think I used a crows foot the last time I did it to adjust the radius rod after I got it close.
 
I think I'll drill out the rivets and replace them with screws&washers, then it will be easier next time. I tried a crows foot but can't get enough torque out of it to loosen the nut. Thanks for the help.
 
The screws are a pain too because if you use machine screws you can't reach the nuts, and if you use sheet metal they usually loosen and fall out. Rivets aren't really that bad to drill. Just drive the mandrel out first.
