I’ve been doing an oil change (For the first time since I got it) on my 2013 C650GT and I’ve hit a bit of a snag: the head of the strainer bolt is quite badly smeared, to the point where I cant get it out with a 17mm socket. I managed to drain most of the oil via the filter and main drain plug (it took about 2.6 litres to refill, so only 0.5 litre left in), so I’m happy to ride the bike until I can get a new bolt and work out how to remove the old one.
Has this happened to anyone else, and how would you recommend removing the damaged bolt?
Thanks
Mike
