Uh-oh! It looks like a flat sunk bolt with an Allan head got itself into a bit of a jam. The hex key just couldn’t get a grip, and pliers were having a tough time too! This bolt is a chunky one, so drilling it out is going to be a real challenge. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
