    stripped fork lower bolt

    ran into a problemreplacing the bent fork on the 200X
    wheel and forks came off easily
    did break a bolt on the lower tree just a matter of getting a replacment bolt

    replaced the left tube

    went to remove the bolt on the bottom of the right fork lower and the allen head bolt stripped the 6mm allen bit spun

    now how do I get the bolt out so I can remove the tube

    yea. drill it first with a 1/8" drill bit for a pilot hole and the use a bigger bit. be careful not to damage the slider when you are drilling that bolt out

    If you can't get it out or damage it, then stop on over. I have a bottom piece.

    What I Would Do

    I would drill it out. Tap it. And heli-coil it. Or it might just be easier to get a fork bottom of of Howdy.
