After twisting all my 3mm Allen keys and going through a can of WD-40 I let it rest.
Big respect to Thomson, the bolts haven't rounded, but I still want it off those forks.
Any tips.
3mm??
Impact driver/hammer setting on cordless drill.
Or flames.
Tighten the other slightly to give it some slack.
What Rich said.
Hammer torx into it then remove - had to do this a few times despite using the correct torque to tighten them.
Those 3mm bolts are pretty stupid imho
The 3mm bolts are Thomsons defence against users cracking face plates
Can you remove the other 3 bolts and then try rotating the faceplate?
Not sure why you'd want to hammer a torx bit in to a heard that's not rounded?
Impact driver and/or a liberal dousing with boiling water would be my suggestion.
