Sheared bolt time!!

Postby SLOSR11S » Tue Apr 23, 2019 9:47 am

I'm fitting the Shaw Stainless Kit on my R11S and so far so good until yesterday. I got to the last bolt on the front mudguard and snap! it sheared off. Damn! None of what is left is protruding from the bolt hole sadly. Anyway what is your recommended tool/method to get it out folks? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I'm reasonably confident enough to tackle it myself with the right tools. I'll let you know how I get on. :wink:
