Who is the handiest mechanic in Cambridge?

It was a pleasant evening and I told myself - how about removing the mudguard on my beloved 800GS and wipe the fork a bit. So I removed 5 bolts out of 6 and guess what, the 6th was glued in to strongly and I teared off the head.
So now, bike bike is crippled
As I dont have the tools to get the broken screw out, I am looking for good advice on who has the best skills for this kind of job.

Remember if its not broke dont fix it

Cambridge motorcycles (near Tescos on Newmarket Road)

or buy an impact driver

Thanks Jim,

Why go to a motorbke shop?

Go to a local engineering firm and they'll do it for you

You've still got 5 bolts holding a mudguard on......, don't worry about it.

local engineering firm?

Sorry for asking. What sort of local engineering firm do you mean? Some sort of mechanical workshop, or local garage?

Cambrige motorcycles...

did it. After spending few hours trying to get it out myself, I took it to Camb. motorcycles. They welded extraction kit to the remainings and got the screw out.
Job well done!
