Hi, first post here. Though I would share a few pics of how easy the pinch bolt was to remove with the right method.

I came here originally browsing to get information on the best way to get it out & was daunted by the fact they were notorious for not budging.

Well, needless to say I found a post in the forums where someone simply said 'Cut the head of the bolt though the gap and wind it out with the nut' - of course! Ashamed I didn't think of it.

Here's some pics

Bolt cut and split from the shaft


Bit of heat... never hurt anyone even though my mate said it was pointless.


Slap of grease


Wind her out and space it every so often so you don't reach the end of the thread.


Voila!



My only regret.... wish I'd done the other side like this instead of beating it and drilling it for 4 hours :|

Good luck!

p.s Thanks to whoever said to do this originally. Top man!
