Aside from drilling them out, what is the best way to remove bolts ? (mostly
around the exhaust area, so they are hard to get to).
Ive tried using penetrate (like WD40) to get in, giving the bolts a quick
tap, but that hasnt worked.
Ive also been suggest heating up the bolt.
any suggestions ? |

Get an impact driver. You can buy them pretty cheap in the usual cheap
tools places. more WD40, and a big hammer...
If that doesn't work, then heat might, but I've never had it work that
well.
IF still no go, give up and get it to a pro. They have even bigger
hammers! Not a usual dealership type, but a wrecker of old abused
bikes.

Don't heat the bolt...heat the surrounding area and use plenty of WD40 (allow to soak).
Otherwise use a socket with an extension of about 12-15 inches and crack that mofo.

....and then reach for your drill and tap-and-die set when you twist
the head clean off the bolt.

It just came to me today, Patrick. Very witty Wilde. Had me pissing myself
laughing riding home in traffic.
