Last thing to do on my '91 ZX7 to be ready for the track is to remove the front wheel & have a nice new Q3 tire fitted...........
Unfortunately the 6mm hexagon head cap screws at the bottom of the forks are damaged.
I have managed to get the inside one on each fork leg loosened but the outside ones no way.
I even tried with a 1/4" allen key (6.35mm) but still no way will they let go.
Needless to say the hexagon head is totally foooked up now.
I cant be the first person to suffer this so how did everyone else remove these damaged cap heads or what is the best method of doing it?
Why oh why do people put back even slightly damaged cap head screws, they cost pennies each for gods sake.
Anyways ladies & gents, all help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Smudger
