| Thanks for the sypathetic words chaps.
I think most of the problems are just due to age as the bike has an excellent service history but things like disc carriers etc dont get taken off very often and steel and ally dont mix well long term.
compared to the amount of time and money I had to spend on the Guzzi to bring it back from the dead this is nothing in comparison.
are there any words of wisdom on removing the front wheel bearing and speedo drive?
Rob fortunately I can weld ally myself but thanks for the offer.
RightSaidFred tried impact driver and snapped one allen key and stripped the hex in the bolt with the harder one.
I think drilling them out is the only route left.
