How to get the regulator off?

[Farmboy]

Hey, my regulator, and my grip from are not aligned, i think it might be a factory default. So i'm wanting to take the regulator off, and see if i can try and align it, or if its an actual default. Any ways i need to change the eyes, the previous owner was stupid.

I forgot to post, that since they are not aligned properly. My eye covers will not slide snugly and tight. They stick out.

Did you get a manual with that A1?
page 20 and 21 will cover the removal of the reg.

Ok, i did get a manual. And i have a blank warranty card also. I removed everything inside the regulator, but once it gets to an empty shell, and there is one Allen screw left. I can't get that last one out. I think it is jammed. I got pliers, and tried. But i resorted to stopping because i didn't want to destroy it, and strip the screw.

use a long reach 4 mm T bar hex key.

There are some screws on the A1 that can't be stripped easily. So, a high torque hex key as frazer suggested should work.

Believe me; I broke 1 hex key, and stripped 2--yes, I actually stripped 2 hex keys and NOT the bolts until I got a high torque kit!

good luck

Not Needed Remark, I'm trying to fix my angel, not destroy it.

Any ways i need to change the eyes
I know why i have to change the eyes now. Since my regulator is not properly aligned, it sets them on an angle, so now, when i put my eye wires in, and then the eye covers on, it pinches them, thus causing them not to work, it also pinched them down by the regulator also.

Do you mean electronically? With an electrical powered drill, with a Allen wrench, and have it so it screws out? I'm sorry I'm not to familiar with your wording.

Its a T-Handled Hex key, basically something you can use to get extra torque compared to a regular L looking allen key. Just do a google search and you will see what they look like.

Thank you. I will do that right now.

Thanks to all for the help.
