- March 30, 2010, 08:23:26 AMTake a drill bit that's the ID of what's left of the bolt's head, sharpen it to drill BACKWARDS (grind it the reverse of what you bought so that it drills in reverse, being careful to not overheat it, water cooling it as you go slowly), put your drill in reverse and, after putting some liquid wrench on the bolt and tapping it, drill the thing in reverse until the cutting edges spin it out to you.
Buy the new bolt, swab it with never seize and tighten it to the correct torque.

You will have to buy a new bolt obviously, but whatever works. A wire feed welder works the best, with gas shield instead of flux-core; be sure to cover everything you don't want sparks on or heat for that matter; I sometimes use wet rags to protect paint and perishables.
Good luck;

- March 28, 2010, 18:57:19 PMOk, went to remove my exhaust nuts and the rear exhaust nut closest to the cylinder of course is rounded (inside), there are no edges for the allen key to grab. Ive tried heating etc with no results. I had to buy an over the nut easy out for the others, but there is no room for this to slip over the nutas it's to close to the rear cylinder.
I need help!!!!!!!!!!
Just one of the little(big) things to watch out for when buying your used motorcycle....check the nuts to make sure they are not rounded, could cause problems for you down the line
