How do I get this bd out.
I've drilled a lot with lots of luck previously but after a drill piece shattered taking a nice chip out my fairing and nearly blinding me (yes I'm a tt always wear safety specs) I'm hesitant to drill any more. Especially as it's threaded into the frame.
I tried one of those easy out thread things. It laughed at it and chewed it to fk.
I've tried hammering a bigger socket in. It goes in lovely then just rips it up.
I've plus gased it and left it to sat a few times.
How do you get it out without damaging the fairing ... Further
I will never own another Honda cheap nasty ste. Took me 30 minutes to whip my dad's daytona fairing off and do and oil and filter all in. This always takes me two fking days.

Last nights Classics on the Common meet..nice crowd enjoying the sights and sounds of everything on display..
This 1.3GL Escort had covered 5,000 miles from new!
Loads of Ferraris /Porsches /top end cars there but when did you last see a Nova Cab ?
Origina Viva
Some lovely Fast Fords.
Fantastic! !!!This 1.3GL Escort had covered 5,000 miles from new!

Some lovely stuff but the Viva is the star for me. Totally unassuming but such a throwback.
Cheers Bryan,

I've tried a torx piece. I drilled a size roughly the same od then hammered the fker in but it just ripped it again.
It looks extremely dry..Have you tried a little lube ?
I have a set of mole grip pliers with narrow long nosed jaws, if you can find something similar there's a very good chance of unscrewing from behind the panel.

I might just nip to my local mechanic And slip him a tenner to do that with an impact driver. I don't have one. I utterly detest seized stuff. Im useless at it.

The problem is that it's a steel bolt going in to a aluminium tab on the bottom of the sump, you get a reaction between the two metals and they seize, that's why I never tighten it up too much. I'm surprised Honda didn't put a steel threaded insert in.
It's every fking one. I spent two days removing most of the fkers at winter. Making sure I copperslipped them. I forgot one bugger. One. Since you can get access to the head, try these or similar:

Reverse thread so best bet of undoing it. I've used them before to remove stuck bolts much bigger. Just be gentle when you first get going so as not to chew up the head.

If you cant do the torx bit thing. You can try. Try and get mole grips on it ( put masking tape on the fairings first though just in case it slips )
Cut a slot in it and use a flat screw driver.
Weld a nut onto it.
Whatever you do soak it in WD40 first.
