Head bolt - gone

[David Templeton]

I was just thinking, from the triumph list there has numerous times been
suggested to feed rope into a cylinder then turn the crank to compress the
rope against the head to pop it off. Would this work in this case or do I
risk the damaging the head?

Thanks

Hi all,

I picked up a cobalt drill bit that was the same size as the bolt shank.
Used a puny 7.2 volt cordless drill and the head of the bolt came off in
less than 5 minutes of work.

Tried then to pry the head off and it will not come off. Is there something
I am missing?

Thanks for all of the advice so far
