Need a bit of advice about the best way of removing allen bolts or screws.
I'm having difficulty removing one of the bolts which clamps the fork leg in the lower triple tree. Seems to have seized in the aluminium. Also trying to remove the smaller bolts that hold the floating disc onto the front wheel.
Afraid of rounding off the bolt holes.
What's the best method? Heat? Would a gas blowtorch be sufficient?
Or what about an impact driver?
Suggestions please.
