Update - Steve came round with all the tools/blow torch. Result;
- ANOTHER busted Halfords Hex socket (im not joking!!)
- Rounded out bolt head
- ABout an hour of drilling the bolt out (after removing the pipes/balance pipe etc
And it STILL hasnt fecking come out
Steves popping round this morning to see if we can finish the job - what a top man (at least 'er indoors kept us fed and watered eh mate ??!!)
Incidentally..the captive nut at the end (which I assume is sleeved through he swingarm)..how far back is the 'collar' that threads through the swingarm...? From Rickys note looks like we might have to drill out bothe sides. Stupid question, but theres no thread to damage inside the swingarm castings is there ??
All going well..I will have a nice shiny new Ohlins on the bike later !!
Ah well..look on the bright side..at least I managed to flog Dave a carbon tank cap when he rang to see how it was going...
