michael5556 247 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Either try hammering a torx bit in like dan said or put your Allen key in, get a massive set of mole grips and tighten them as tight as you can, it will crush the bolt around the allen key and it should turn out Link to post Share on other sites

Gazbarber1982 3 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Set of footprints or 6" stillies on the outside of it. That's how I got my bolts out of the rear brake caliper! Replaced with new bolts and covered the head in copper grease so they last a bit longer. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 if nothing's flammable around the area, heat it up till it's hot with a descent blow torch (like a rothenberger torch if you can get hold of one), then do the Torx trick. Never failed me yet.Obviously remove the battery 1st lol. Link to post Share on other sites
