I can't get either a ring spanner, or a socket round it. It's a poor show. Really, the EU should have banned such engineering by now.

Us bodgers tend to botch things with mole grips firmly locked on and give it some clout.
Of course us bodgers tend to botch things by shearing stuff .
I'd listen to my learned colleagues for sage and more apt advice ... but good luck.

I had a similar problem with a suzy 400 twin. The studs came out of the head. Head stripped. Made some new studs out of stainless threaded rod and glued in with JB Weld, a slow setting superstrong epoxy. All was fine after that.

Made some new studs out of stainless threaded rod and glued in with JB Weld, a slow setting superstrong epoxy. All was fine after that. Was that a two-stroke? No a 4. With full fairing and panniers, longest trip was across to the west coast of Eire, camping. Prior to that I had a 250 Kwacker. In my youth I started with a 1959 Triumph Thunderbird and moved on to a Triumph Saint (ex police). Both were improved along the way by a twin carb Bonneville head, higher comp pistons and cams. Used to add a third wheel in winter, or in summer going camping, my canoe would fit on the sidecar chassis.

Honda rarely do anything so egregious. If the nut won't move the stud probably will. They normally only become terminally stuck after ten or so years. Why can't you get a socket on it?

I suggested taking the stud out hours ago.

So how are you going to get the stud out if the nut on the end of it won't turn?

Not Clinton Cool bike but this is the layout it would seem. They do look a bit large so maybe they are indeed M12. Although the way it was described sounded slightly different so this could be a different one. Image found on a grom forum. I would be tempted to use a junior hacksaw (The Ding Dong is a good one) and cut off the stud other side of the flange. then remove the studs with a stud remover later and replace with new.
