I've got a Harley-Davidson FLTCU 1990. I want to know the procedure for removing the radio/cassette and caddy from the frame mounted fairing. Also the size the nut on the central bolt which is accessed by the cut way after removing the Windshield. The procedure isn't identified in my old or brand new Clymer manuals and I complained to the publisher who said they used and FLH not an FLT as reference to write the manual big help!

My main concern is that central bolt and nut, as I can see the other two bolts either side of the fairing when I remove the Headlight. But don't know if the bolt heads are fixed or will turn if I loosen them.

I reckon the central nut needs a bent spanner but I don't know the nuts size and I can't get my hand inside the cutaway to prevent it dropping inside the caddy assembly. The Bolt head is accessed on top of the caddy. I thought the nut would be a captive nut but it turned when I went to remove it. I want to repair/replace the radio /cassette.
