Yeah, whip off the wheel, chainset, drill a 6mm through each bolt, left hand tap into the bushing and knock out, replace and rebuild. 20mins. I’ll time the next one I do without rushing etc.

I’ve found that when you drill the head off one side, the other bolt rotates when you try and decapitate the other bolt. How do you stop it rotating? I usually saw it off at that point. Also, what tap do you use? You screw it in and punch it back out from within?

Just drill both sides, rarely the other side spins, just hold the rear frame snug and ever so slightly to one side of it starts spinning. Slow and steady.
