Topic: Oil filter bolt stuck

[rotortiller]

First thing we learned as teenagers with these bikes was to use 6 point sockets to remove oil filters. The second thing we learned was not to put them on so tight!

Once you do get it off, this sure makes it easy next time.

i have to second ekpents solution for those that run into this problem in the future.  11 mm 6 sided socket hammered over the gnarled head.  pretty sure he was the one that tipped me off to this a couple months back.  i have yet to order a replacement bolt as the socket is still firmly attached to the bolt head.

I’m having the same problem on my 81 CB 650.  I appreciate all the ideas of how to get the bolt out, but where does one order a new one?
