Torx 30 removal help Needed

[gnatwest]

I have two bolts holding my ignition sensor in place. The sensor has gone bad however the mounting bolts are torqued down so hard I cant get them out. They are Torx size 30.

Anyone able to help?

Im in east york and my bike is not rideable. I would like to avoid a tow if possible.

is it stripped or you just don't have the proper size? or you can't simply move it?

Let me check tomorrow. Think I have a T30 for 1/4" drive.

I just cant move it. I stripped a T30 Impact I had from Princess. I may have partially stripped one of the heads, but I think its recoverable.

Did you actually use it with an impact driver, or did you just put it on a ratchet?

Ratchet.

My impact driver was too big for the torx bit I have.

Heat is likely the best way to break it free. Can you get to it with a penlight torch without melting other stuff? If so, that would be my first choice.

I got a new impact torx and used the gun. Worked perfect.
