| I do not have a tool to remove passenger footpeg socket bolts. So what is the size of the socket to remove it? |

| 8mm Allen, there's a lower support hole for plastic side covers with a rubber grommet on footpeg mount, kinda push upper part of footpeg in after removing bolts, then slide aft, be gentle, soapy water helps. |

| Get some silicone grease/spray onto any rubber grommets that you come to. Thank me later. |

Very important tip to prevent breaking plastic parts, Plumbers or food grade silicone seal grease works good, no harsh chemicals that could attack plastics and very waterproof, usually cheaper and available in small tubes, all my scooter grommets, panel metal clips and even the floor rubber mats nubs have a generous coating. |
