Gents,
I have terminally rounded the SOFT 12 mm head on the oil filter bolt on my 1981 GL 1100 trying to remove it. I wish I could blame overtorqueing it on someone else, but they don't call me gorilla for nothing. It's still not out but I'll get it somehow. Since it will need replacing, I have seen references on this site to aftermarket replacements with larger, harder heads. Any suggestions as to where to purchase these would be greatly appreciated.
