Help/experience needed as I can't find much on google/forums - but apologies if I have missed it, please link!
I was planning on sending my FD to Mike today, but I have one problem - I just can't release the Final Drive pivot bolt.
I've heated it and it turned about 1/4-1/2 turn then nothing more, I also slipped despite taking measures to minimise slipping and so the bolt is slightly rounded but is probably still salvageable.

I'm not too concerned about the pivot sleeves & torx bolt as I have replacements.
Anyone had issues doing this and overcome it? Better way to go about it? I know it's been out before but unsure of what's on the threads etc.
In the meantime, I've called a trusted Indy to come and collect the bike or help onsite to see if he can get it out himself, but the satisfaction of me doing it is far greater!
Thanks
