parrish enough with the stupid postwhore stuff. I'm going to warn you every time you post a dumb / useless post.

And are they both super tight? if not, tighten the loose one, then loosen the tighter one

the other is .. whats called a cheater pipe...just take a big wrench and put the oprn end on the allen and use it as an extention

They are both tight. The heads of the bolts are starting to strip. My idea was to cut the middle if the bolt where it shows then get new bolts

did you swap those bolts for different ones from a hardware store? they seize if they are different metals i think. happened to me, the guy at the hardware store got it out. if u have a blowtorch, it will expand the knuck and u should be ableto get the bolts out

okay it might be your allen wrench. I suppose the wrench size for the knuck is in imperial sizes, if you have an allen wrench in metric size it won't be the same. It will be smaller and when you use it enough it will seem as if it were stripped. If you have an imperial size one, than i dont know haha
Also if you use a torch to expand it, how would that help? If you expand it, that means you put MORE tension on the bolts.
