Hi All-- picked up an ST70

These screws always cause trouble... even when in good condition.
The easiest way to get them out is to drill the head off.
If you do this with the right tool, nothing will get damaged.
And... if it would, I've got plenty of spare parts for semi clutches.

going to try an ez out first if that's no good I'll be drilling the head off- then I'll just have the problem of getting the stub's out

Hi Sid,

I had the same problem, although I have left it how it is as I don't have time to fix the bike (another story). A good mechanic friend on mine suggested welding a socket onto the head of the screw and removing it that way. You need to be careful though...

Good Luck!

If you don't drill too far, the stubs will be sticking out.
An easy job for the

got the buggers out with the ez out- will be looking to use hexhead's for replacement I think - just got to knock up a tool for the lock nut below and I'm away

Yes, hexhead or even better: torx

Well got a Chaly as a donor bike today cost $50 -will be doing an engine swap (until I can get the original running)-and using a few other parts, Including(hopefully) the lower fork legs - these are bent but I may be able to straighten them, my originals were bent and rusted to hell - there's tool marks on there from a vice and one of the nylon sleeves had been replaced with a home made Bakelite(?) bush which had to be cut off -
