I've tried a search but not had much luck.

Can anyone recommend a small engineering shop in Auckland (preferably around Glenfield, where I work) that can help with getting out a stuck bolt?

It's fairly easily accessible and I think can be removed by welding on a hex nut and using that for removal - the internal allen key fitting is just rounding off (even with a good git and decent tools).

Cheers, Rob.

What you need is an 'easy out' - it's a tool for removing munted bolts.

None of the companies listed in that wiki page are 'engineering' companies except perhaps for the exhaust company.

Might help if you say what you need done?

I've got easy outs - not suitable in this case, the thing is in too tight, I suspect the easy out will just shatter leaving me with a bolt filled with hardened metal which is a REAL bitch to drill out and remove. Been there, not fun.

Thanks very much for the offer - I actually managed to come good with judicious application of a propane torch and extreme force!

I may still seek out the engineering shop to rebuild my original side stand - the alloy probably needs sleeving.

Cheers, Rob.

Pm me my man as I have a fully kitted part time W/S and MAY be able to assist for a reasonable price.

Just a quick follow up on this - ended up getting my side stand rebushed by the guys at Select engineering. Not cheap but came in at less than what they quoted and they did a great job, highly recomended.
