Argh! Fork Bottom Bolt head stripped.

Dana » Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:48 pm

I've got a trackday at Tsukuba at the end of the month and thought I should get around to freshening up the forks. All of my experience has been with twin chamber forks (my CRF450 motard), but I knew going into this it shouldn't be any harder.

Well...

I got the one fork all apart and cleaned and ready to put back together, but the second fork was a party pooper. So I stripped the allen head bottom bolt (6mm). I even tapped a 1/4" allen into it but it only stripped it more. Keep in mind I haven't stripped the threads, but the head of the bolt.

Not sure what else to do than start drilling the head off. But what a pain since it's recessed into the fork lower.

Any other thoughts?
