    hacksaw a groove in it and use a screw driver to remove next time 🙂

    Really don't talk to me about fustration, though 3hrs on one bolt is pretty damned annoying. A weekend of trying to make some (admittedly old) disk brakes work has blown my mind! Ended up riding my hardtail as that's the only one working – though as I knackered the head of the retaining pin in the rear brake, that'll be fun for another day. GrrrrRRR!

    did that but recessed head meant it was a no go had to use impact punch to shrink the head.

    Anyway got out on the bike and stacked it big time just got back after an hour pics later
