OT : ZX9R foot peg mounting bracket

    Is held by an (almost) flat bolt with a hex hole (socket) in it.

    Hex socket is (IIRC) 4mm.

    Its torqued upto 35n/m.

    The (almost) flat bolt has 1mm height at the edge, not enough to grip.

    How the hell do they expect anyone to remove the stupid thing without
    the hex key just rounding it?

    Any suggestions or do I just drill the fornicating bolt out and find
    something new that fits and looks ugly? (assuming after I've drilled
    the head off I can grip the threaded shaft in the vice and unscrew it)

    Bloody Sod and his laws, I'm determined to get the 9R ready for the TT
    in time.

    Impact driver on it until it has moved 1/4 to 1/2 a turn then the
    normal hex keys to undo it all the way.

    Or a more usual response Angle Grinder.
