Been trying to remove the front clam today and stuck on removing two bolts which have lots their threads for the allen key... New bolts ordered
Any advice on how to remove the bolts without damaging the clam?

upper door post bolts - either cut them off with a reciprocating saw or remove the door and drill them out

I used a Dremel to cut a big slot and then used a really big screwdriver.

That one is pretty easy with a 13mm spanner on the top nut and a 2nd spanner on the one below...

Apart from replacing it just for sake of going stainless , I've never touched the bonnet one.
