Is it sheared or has the allen key twisted in the top of the bolt and rounded off the allen key edges?

If it is rounded off where the allen key fits then take a T30 or T40 size Torx and hammer it in where the allen key should fit then use and impact driver to loosen it

If it sheared punch mark the centre good and deep and use a left hand drill bit to drill into it slowly (using a variable speed drill with reverse on it and the heat will break the and and the left hand drill bit will spin it out. Start with a small bit 3.5mm  and work up. there is less chance of breaking the bit if running slowly

Cheers unfazed




It has just rounded off......well it is majorly round now........i tried various different bits bit it just made it more round and i couldnt quite squeeze in the next size up allen key.......but i couldnt get a good angle or a good enough swing with the hammer as the air box kept getting in the way.




Ill soon have the engine out and then i can get a proper look at it but it is good to know that it is perfectly possible even if to me it will be a bit of a mission......i look forward to it.
