P1000m3 Tail Light Screw stripped

[MuddHonda]

I have a tail light screw that turns but must be stripped in the nut any suggestion how to get it out.

Those are just well nuts behind there, so it's possible the rubber is just spinning. You could try prying up on the screw while turning.

I usually order them in a 10 pack off ebay. Usually cheaper than 1 from a dealer, good to have a few around.

The M6 wellnut is usually found attaching bottom fairings together or used to mount the upper fairing. The smaller M5 wellnut is usually used for attaching the windscreen. If you have a slightly larger wellnut chances are it's this M6 wellnut.

I posted m6, can't remember exactly which size was on the tail light, probably smaller.

Nailed it! Mine did the same. I removed the other screw and then pulled on the light assembly while turning screw with a cordless driver.

Did not work will have, to drill off the head when I need it out

Yeah, pretty much whatever drastic measure you have to take is no big deal because you'll just need a new screw and well nut.
