I agree, I use either Halfords Professional or my US Craftsman internal hexagons with a ratchet or bar. The issue here is that the threads have not moved for 13 years, even when I managed to get the first bolt moving it was tight all the way. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Addendum: This bike keeps fighting back! The left over bolt shaft just would not move and eventually snapped off almost flush, so I had to drill it out. It was stuck solid, it didn't move using left hand twist bits - even when I got as far as the 5mm drill. I had a M6 helicoil kit to hand so I replaced the thread. The master cylinder is all apart now, but it was a struggle. I'm still not really happy with it so I've found a good used replacement for £20 from eBay.

Thanks for all the tips guys.
This is what they looked like after brushing on some Harpic ![]() Looks like my Arrow pipe has cracked again on the other side. I'll have to get it welded up and get a brace put in between the two pipes. The wise Bibio foresaw this happening last time it broke ![]() Then tried the coke and aluminium foil treatment which further improved them. I think they might come up good with some polish now ![]() I've still to do the cat section too |

You can bring them up even better if you use a Brass Wire brush drill attachment but if you use this method you MUST wear overalls and safety glasses/googles.The Brass wires can come of and stick in cloths and scar the skin and the Safety Glasses/Goggles for the eyes.
Brass wire brushes can remove a lot of the final corrosion and leave a nice,"Burnished" finish or if once used and you don't like the finish the Metal polish usually works even better after the Burnishing. https://www.toolstation.com/wire-bru...xoCZjgQAvD_BwE £2.51 ![]()
