ran into a delema, the little tamper proof bolts that have the small hex head on them, and when you tighten them down, they get to a certain torque and that little head snaps off, so there is a smooth domed shaped bolt head....how do you remove these? center punch and drill? if wondering what its on, they are the small bolts that hold the ignition lock cylinder on the top triple tree of a motorcycle. im installing new raked triple trees and need to transfer the lock cylinder over to the new set. thanks guys.....beers are going down as we speak til i find a way to get this done tonight :rollside:
Two ways... one is a reverse drill that may do it on it's own. This isn't mandatory, but sometimes does the job all by itself. The second way is with an ez-out after the hole aforementioned is drilled.
Third way I just thought of is to epoxy a nut to the head of the bolt and use that to back it off. I have done that before with some success. Weld on a nut too. Make sure you prep your bolt first.
