Good advice. Also, I just acquired my online KDX manual (thank you pay day) and noticed that it calls for a #3 Phillips.BobbyZ wrote:if you have to resort to drilling the bolt find a good left hand twist drill bit,you'd be amazed at how many buggered screws will break loose and unthread when drilling the heads with a reversed drill.

Jad, thank you SO much! I just logged on to say that I am having no luck getting these bolts out. I went and got a torch, but was still unable to get it done. Then I saw your post Jad, and tried a #3, and that did the trick! Cyclepedia said to use a #2 only. Anyway, it sure feels good! Thanks again!jad628 wrote:Good advice.
