OK, I've managed to round off the dogbone bolt on my DHi. Not the one that bolts to the mainframe, the one that bolts to the eccentric. Is a 3mm head and although I kinda knew it was going to go and was careful to clean the head out before pushing any harder, and squirted some plus gas in from the other side etc etc, it still went.
Buggered if I know how I'm going to sort it. Drilling it out wont be simple, I can't simply drill the head off, need to drill it out from the threads end if anything. Virtually impossible action to cut a slot into the head of it, even if I had a dremel (which I don't).
Any ideas? Would an engineering place have this out for me in seconds using cunning tools/tactics that I don't have/know?
(Eccentric hasn't been rebuilt in about a year, I figured it was time as I was stripping the bike down today. Sounds very gritty, but if I have to put the bike back together as it is I can probably live with it, hopefully new frame/bike time later this year anyway...)
