stripped out allen head bolt in oil filter cover

Postby Little General » Thu Dec 17, 2020 5:08 pm

The top right bolt in the oil filter cover is stripped out on the bike I just bought. Its behind the exhaust pipes and the don't look like would come off very easy. The only way I see is to drill it out and try some vise grips to remove it . Any ideas?
