Hi This bike is fighting me at every turn. 2 of the 3 allen key bolts holding the oil filter cover are stuck. They have an internal 6mm key which has been rounded out. Partly by me but mainly before I touched it. Has any one any experience in removing these stubborn bolts, that is the lowest (the most difficult to get at) and right hand top bolt. My thoughts are drilling the heads out or using a centre punch to hammer the heads around, (could this crack the engine housing where the bolt threads are??) also drilling and using screw extractor. Any thoughts and advice would be welcome.
