I have a 18V Milwaukee impact driver that I use but this is the very top bolt in the pic that go's through the frame as well and cant get to it with anything except wrench or breaker bar, Just snapped a 14mm 6 point socket, now looking to see if I have one thats a impact socket (thicker wall)

this is where I am stuck at now, seems like the bolt has welded itself to the inner bearing surface, penetrating oil and hammer isnt working so I may have to move towards a torch and air hammer next but it looks as if this may be a common problem on these older bikes. I have been following Matt...

this is the end that I drilled out (no more threads), you can see where it starts to taper towards where the threads were, this had maybe 1/8" of play back and forth so it was a good thing as I had to replace it anyways

thanks for the info, just placed an order for the Boyesen rad valve for this (RAD-11D) as my intake manifold was shot and been looking all over just to see what parts are available, figured their would be a strong aftermarket for these older bikes but it seem like hit and miss
