Wunderkind Turn Signal Instalation

Protonhound said:

I installed these Motorcycle LED turn signals for Triumph Rocket 3 and since they ship to every country except the US I had to get them from Spiegler. They look great and are definitely bright enough however installation was a pain in the arsch. On the front when I started feeling to see where the right signal wires go they just fell out of their connectors and it took me a while to find those black plugs hiding in the last place I expected. On the rear it was another story as shown in the picture below. The genius assembling them was very generous with the blue loctite so that the plastic holding the nut was useless and it turned and turned and even trying to jam screwdrivers in there was pointless. Carefully trying to soak the threads with WD40 and even carefully with acetone did nothing so I wound up using the Dremel to cut a slit as far as I could and then busted the nut with a screwdriver. I cut the connectors off and used the supplied heat shrink solder seals which worked great using pieces of cardboard as heat shields. The tail piece will come off without disassembling everything like the instructions state though getting to the 4 bolts is more difficult. The bike looks a lot better without those ugly spear head stock turn signals.

How did you get the top cover off before the Dremel work? I've unbolted the right and left side from below but the cover doesn't pop off real easily and I don't want to pry too hard in case there's something else holding it together.
