It's much easier to heat the steel bolt than the heat sink that's the aluminum fork bottom. Using any kind of torch whether it's aimed at the bolt or the fork bottom will surely discolour the bottom, not something OP probably wants. That might be avoidable if the inductive heater works. If it...

Not unwieldly:

Expanding the bolt can help break it free from galvanic or other corrosion that may have welded it in place.

The typical loops that go around a fastener don't need to touch to heat them up. I don't know if it's the saee for the pad style that mimics the way an induction cooktop works. Maybe someone can try lifting their pan a few mm's off the cooktop with a sheet of silicone and see if it still heats...

Another thing I'd do before trying to unscrew that bolt counterclockwise from above using whatever method is to check the end of the exposed bolt for corrosion and brush it all off. That could be what's holding it in there in addition to the tension.

I guess I just assumed someone must make them for popular standard sizes. There's definitely a market.

I'm still lost as to where exacatly this stands. Is the extractor still stuck in the bolt head? Or is it out and the socket head is completely rounded?

I'm thinking a profesional quality one a machine shop would use, as opposed to something from Princess Auto or Amazon. Won't be cheap.

If he cuts that bolt through the slot, won't that leave at best damaged threads or worst a burr that won't easily go through the threaded bottom hole if he wants to "push" it through? And possibly also block it from being pulled up the non-threaded hole?

Seems like you're hitting dead end after dead end. Have you gotten a quote from anyone to bring the bike in and have them handle it for you before you back yourself so far into a corner that nobody will be able to get you out of? Even if it's only remove the broken extractor so you can use a...

Or (theoretically) you could use a free-form loop and wrap it around the fork bottom. You want one long enough to wrap around it a few times at least. These ones, as an example, are 36" long: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/372953504388

Sadly, buyer beware whenever dealing with anything used (or even new for that matter) where the price is too good to be true. If I were you I'd buy a induction loop heater with a flat pad - it should heat up the steel bolt and not the aluminum fork leg, assuming you believe heating it will help...

Did your public IP address change?

I'm hoping it's just the wild lifestyles these recent celebrities may have led. My grandmother made it past 100 physically, but her mind slowly started going maybe 10 years earlier.

I will give integrated comms one advantage - if your helmet ever hits the ground, the nestled unit has a much higher chance of survival. I was very lucky with my old helmet so my Cardo just has some cosmetic imperfections now. I try not to look at it too closely any more, and using voice...

Damn, everyone's dying in their 70's?

Sorry to keep pushing, but is this the add-on you're referring to? Seems the only problem is with the latest release, and I see from the comments people were able to go back to the previous release to get it working again. I think the functionality outweighs the bugs, and I'd be happy with a a...

Wow, that's almost the distance between the Gardiner and 401 along Yonge! By Dundas or maybe Bloor, my nephew would have been very happy to get a new set of clubs.

And speaking of Supernatural (Jensen Ackles), we're enjoying Countdown. Need to wait for weekly episode releases on Prime, otherwise we'd have binged: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32559610
