On my moped one of the bolts that hold on the exhaust the thread has gone so the allen key just slipps and I've tried moule grips and it just wont grip. Whats the best way of getting the b@stard out?

Weld a nut onto the end, then undo it with a socket.

Cut a slot into the top of the bolt with a dremel if possible, then use a flat bladed screwdriver to undo it...

Thanks
