- Video I took when I was changing my oil and oil filter on my vintage 1981 Honda Goldwing GL1100. The filter bolt became stripped so it was pretty nasty getting the filter cover off. The "author" (me) has NOTHING to do that this video will not play on ipads or smartphones-- this is TH-cams great "syndication" policy. They want me to change my audio music (which I payed for) in order to allow the video to be shown on other devices. I have worked too hard on my videos to give in to this stupid policy.........something they GREATLY need to change.
Thank you for getting a clear view of the alignment. Clymer manual isn't clear enough
You are welcome. Glad anything could help. These old bikes are becoming extinct but they just keep running! lol
Good job Tak, thanks for this. I just got an 82 Aspencade, changing the oil for the first time this weekend before I bed 'er down for the winter. I've got a '79 CX500 too, and never even considered this problem. The oil filter covers comes off very easy, no need for someone to have tightened yours so hard. I would have done pretty much the same thing. Safe and happy riding to you man.
Thanks for taking the time and posting the video, now have a better understanding of all the parts and what to look out for when I do mine, going to view a GL1200 this week.
Best wishes

In all cases like this use a fluted socket set. Purposefully designed for removing stripped head bolts. Vice grips are designed to wreck the heads of stuck bolts :-)
I am dealing with the same problem on an 83' GL1100. I have damaged the heads trying to break it loose. I didn't consider the torch. Will try that next. Thank you for taking care of this problem for me.
Good luck and I hope it works! There were a lot of great comments from other people.....I like the idea of welding a socket to the head, but I am not a welder and have no tools for that. I just did what I could and the heat helped. I hope you get it!
I feel your pain there dude! Good job in the end. I`m only watching this to figure out how to check my oil. I`ve an 82 1100GL. Been told small window, flashlight, centre stand (ball acje to put her on centre, backbreaking). Cheers.
Good job! I have the same bike 1981 GL1100, so far never had that problem. For emergency in your case, using a pipe wrench on the round outside part of the bold helps, also grinding down the bolt head and welding another bolt head to the bolt will work but the best way next to getting a dealer original part is to look on Ebay, all parts for GL's are very cheap, you could find that bolt, filter housing, spring and washer for about @10.00 to @ 40.00, look it up. I love my 81 Gold Wing!
Weld the biggest nut that will fit, over the damaged end. No more problems.
Lol my man if he couldnt get a socket to fit, AND EVEN WORSE, USED A PAIR OF VICE GRIPS, WHAT IN THE WORLD makes you think he can use a welder or even begin to fathom what the process ensues?

I have an 81 and live in Montana this place is so nice to ride and see the views🤘🏻
Thanks pal for the info on changing the oil.
84 gl1200A happened many times. Used a small pipe wrench to get it off. Only use 6 point sockets or box end wrenches now and have had no problems. Buy a good named brand tool for quality and tolerance.
Thanks alot for the video I have a Honda goldwing and had the same trouble but with ur video it made it alot easier. Thank you and God bless
I had the same issue with my bolt on my 82, I sacrificed an old 10mm wrench, bent the closed end. Then I welded it to the bolt head. Of course this was only to get by until I could get a new one.
Same problem my 1983 GL1100. A GOOD service warning of the danger in oil change :-) and steering out of the skid. Mine looks same too - Samsonite on a black. The carbs got pretty clumsy when cold and it took about a year of fuel additive and but apparently some blockage dissolved and now all cylinders firing when idle and cold. BTW 1200 starter LOOKS the same but won't fit. Couple thousands larger shaft diameter.
Thanks for info going to change my oil In my 83 Honda goldwing .
that is a okay video...I would have not put it back on though...but patience is a virtue....
You are awesome. thank you so much for this video. I just changed my starter for the first time by myself and that was a rough venture. Since i did that, im pretty sure i can handle this. hopefully not with the troubles you had though! thanks for the video!
Just bought one with this engine, your vid was very helpful. Thank you Sir!
Glad it helped! Have fun riding and be safe!!
happen to my gl1100, I used pipe wrench on the out side of the nut ring, came off very easy.
grind the end down smaller and put a nut (bigger sae if necessary) over what you ground off and weld a good bead in the middle, keep the bolt as cool as possible so as not to damage the rest of the bolt.
I'm having the exact same issue with over-tightening of an oil bolt, in my case an oil drain bolt, and the thing just won't break free. I've had PB blaster sitting on it for a week, but I guess I'll try the grinding and heating next.
For all you beginners out there that have a "rounded bolt" on your task . Almost every tool maker out there has a set of sockets made just for rounded bolts that in most cases WILL REMOVE ROUNDED BOLTS. They are fairly inexpensive and will deacrease the time needed to remove the damaged bolt head .
As for this specific bolt . simply find a nut bigger than the bolt head and take it to a welding shop and ask them to weld it . Probably $20 but well spent "DONT REINSTALL DAMAGED BOLTS!!! " .
Hi,did you baught the oil filter from Honda? did you use synthetic oil? where is the check tool to see if you have the right level of oil on a GW ? thanks
Gef
Thanks
Thanks for the video and tips...doing mine atm and good to know what to look out for
Glad it helped and good luck!
You could cut a big line right the middle and use a big flat screw driver. Or the welding trick is the best
I had the same problem with the oil filter on a 78 750; big bolt and little head. I brazed a big nut on the bolt, which solved the problem.
thanks for the head's up
try the "shake the baby" method? Where ya get a socket that fits on it and jerk it back and forth fast and hard till you get it off. A squirt of WD-40 helps too. This video at least helped me locate the drain bolt on my 1983 GL 1100, so thanks for that! :)
Appreciate the comment. The "Shake The Baby!" Lol Good to know.
how do you bleed the clutch on those bikes
nextime try using the grips on the wash par of the cover. gives you more area to bite.
i would weld another bolt head on the broken one :) thx
do you use 10w40 oil for this im doing a oil change and fogot the type to use
nice video
11 years later I'm in the same place with an '83 GL1100. oh joy. my problem is i hit everything with the mini impact wrench....wrong tool for that bolt. it needs finesse.
buy an irwin bolt grip kit people, they save a lot of stress
+Heyalth Hey there- Thanks for mentioning that kit! I looked that up. I did not realized that they had such a thing. Very cool. Will have to look into that. Thank you again.
Dry heating it they do make lock sockets 4 stripped knots
Next yr use breaker bar or long handled ratchet with proper socket heat if needed
What’s the part number for this bolt ???
someone should have told him about an impact from northern tool for 12 bucks.
Breaking bad bolts lose. Tap on the end of the bolt with a hammer. If the nuts starts to strip, DO NOT use a vise grip. Instead use heat and then a pipe wrench. To repair a bad bolthead, find a large nut that will fit over the old bolt head. Grind the old bolt down if need be and then weld the inside of the nut to the old bolt head.
I have never done that. I'm sorry that I cannot help there....?
turn the motor on heat up the oil two if it don't work use wiz wheel cut it off
If you insist on using a pair of Vise Grip's to remove this specific bolt just simply clamp the big round part behind the bolt head and you may want to hit the head a few times with a hammer first though . good luck !!!
Just weld a larger nut over the warn one,and u end up with a new bolt with a larger head
yeah thoughs dam nut/bolts suck i did the same thing with the generator nut they made it out of suck soft metal
wheres the sight glass ???
mack painton Look over the engine block between the exhaust and the pedal brake.
Just go to Lowe's, Sears, or somewhere that sells bolt extraction kit for that size which should be 12mm metric and then buy a new bolt
The kits normally around 30 bucks
Use an impact driver.
Weld a socket to it.
Just weld a socket to it.
No comment
Lol my man if he couldnt get a socket to fit, AND EVEN WORSE, USED A PAIR OF VICE GRIPS, WHAT IN THE WORLD makes you think he can use a welder or even begin to fathom what the process ensues?
"I'm not blessed with patience." Oh, really? No shit.
Before you completely chewed the shit out of the bolt head, you should have tapped on an SAE socket to the end of it, and used a conventional ratchet.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. If the vise grip isn't working.... stop. It isn't going to get better.
