Hey all,

Would like some help with this if anybody can.
I have a new R50X and wanted to do a bit of a clean up on the welds etc on the pipe just to get the best for less. But when I looked at detaching the expansion chamber/muffler from the pipe, it has something like a HEX bolt (6 sided) but its only got 5 sides, therefore the std HEX/Allen key wont fit it   ???  Have asked at the local tool suppliers and bike shop round here but no good...any ideas???   :o

Cheers Steve

Why not weld a hex nut to the bolt?

or just cut through the bolt.
