Yeah so i bought a £160 scorpion exhaust and a £100 tool kit to use to fit it.
But there are two bolts that look a tad bit rusty that are seized.
So i asked my local yamaha dealership how much would he charge to undo two seized bolts, then as i predicted he put on his serious face and told me 2 hours worth of labour = £140 .
So I'm wondering could any of you experienced memebers guide me through the right path... maybe point out a dealership/ product i could go to/ use

Hang on... your bike was smashed up on November the 21st, and you claimed you were skint until December 8th.
Well, you must have had the world's quickest insurance payout and repair since you then somehow got it running again for your mod 2 on November the 30th.
It's rebooked for "the 8th", which I assume means this Saturday?
And now you've magically found another £260 to put a loud can on your plastic fantastic, just prior to absolutely needing it in running fettle for your test? A bike that you'll doubtless chop in the instant that you get your license?
You are Warped's apprentice, and I claim my £15,000 worth of upside-down welding vouchers. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Guilt has clearly compelled you to do it. I hereby dub thee "Hugo".
Aaaaaanway. Have you started feeding in PlusGas or another release agent (not WD40)?
How seized are we talking here? If your butler is trying to get them out with a regular weeny allen key, forget it. Get him to try an allen bit on a 3/8" or 1/2" socket, or get some grips or a length of pipe onto a key.
The other thing to try is get the under footman to give the bolts a good smack, towards the engine. It probably won't free them up, but it'll make you feel all manly, by proxy. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Yeah , but not as severe as i use 'gunk' 'wd/40' on the engine etc..
the pipe/ wrings/ bolts on the other hand have a bit of surface rust... once i replace them i will give my new pipes a nice spray of ACF/50 once it comes through the post. ____________________ Theory: PASSED Module 1: PASSED Module 2: PASSED 12/2012!!!

Plusgas and some strength (depending how hard they are to remove)
Two tips for you;
1. Next time post into workshop (don't post in here if you only get one reply) bump it after a decent amount of time.
2. In the future take picture/video of your problem;- Go out tomorrow take a picture of the actual nuts you are on about don't use examples off the internet it saves useless replies. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

ME = HAPPY BOY
scorp fitted, nice and loud . Buzzing down the high street people turning there heads, cars giving me much more room for me to execute an overtake if safe.
This is all thanks to nice mechanic that i found at a garage literally under nose 2-3 miles away from me. 'Motorcycle surgery' based in streatham. The mechanic removed my seized bolts for free , so i decided after to let him fit my exhaust as well as he said it would only take him 30 minutes = £25 in labour.
