Hi,
I bought my bike a few months ago and it was serviced just before I bought it (apparently).
Now I have used it quite a bit and want to service it (oil & oil filter change).
So I follow the Partzilla guide on youtube. I got the oil reservoir drain bolt successfully (I did struggle) and now I needed to do the crank case drain bolt. I used a 12mm socket to try to loosen it (counter clockwise). I tried for ~10 minutes to loosen the bolt, but it just kept on stripping the bolt (it even cracked my 12mm socket).
Now I'm stuck. I can't drain the rest of the oil and I can't get the drain bolt loose.
Does anyone have any advice on how to remove the drain bolt or another way to drain the rest of the oil?
Thanks in advance,
John
