I've done the same thing as he's saying with the SAE's, but with a star bit. I've also drilled them out. And I've said fuck it and bought another fork from eBay. LOL

hurco,
if you got a hold of a few Large torx bits before you drilled it couldn't hurt;that one there sounds stubborn. drilling is the last thing I'd want to do
Did you drain it completely? possibly some old Loctite is jamming the threads,if you heated the end of the bolt and then hammered the bit on and gave it a go w/ a ratchet,the heat will melt the Loctite and should release'er.
I have a bunch of the other kind of Easy Out that goes into the hole rather than around the outside like those do. They are yours to use if you want, brother.
No problemo! I didn't tell you about the "helper" I had to use to get the bottom bolt out of one of my fork legs. Once I got the 6mm allen wrench I still couldn't budge it. I looked around for something to slip on to add a bit of leverage and the only thing I could find was the drag bars I used on the 360. Way long and a huge amount of leverage to be sure! I pushed and pushed and when the thing finally broke loose I thought something had broken. Fortunately the second one wasn't as bad!
I went the opposite way. The first one came right out. It's always easier to blame someone else, but I really do think the head was stripped by a p.o. the seals actually don't look to bad, but at this point I'm committed. I can't just put em back together with the head boogered up....
When you get this done and up for sale (If you can bring yourself to part with it. : ) somebody is going to get a sweet little corn popper. You're doing a nice job.
I like voodoo arc magic... small tube two tiny o-rings on tungsten inside tube slide into position and give er the pedal! weld small t handle to now welded tube... yes maybe?
