Pug67 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I can get hold off the Allen head as there is a bolt that has to come off. And the rounded Allen head is supposed to supposed to stay held while the bolt is loosened off.but as the Allen head has rounded ..both are just spinning....

Grip the rounded Allen bolt with maul grips and then undo the other side👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pug67 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Seems the only way but then will need to buy 2 new drop links as I think the other side will be the same... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give it a go with maul grips first if they can grip around.If not and you are confident enough to use a grinder then as said before that’s also an option👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0CUE Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I once used Dremel with a grinding stone and it melted the bolt off Practically 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
