Topic: Rounded allen bolts - arse Posted: 23 Apr 07 at 20:44 |
Remembered i hadnt cut a rib of the bump stops so went back to do them
Somehow i managed to round off one of the allen bolts despite me actually taking them off a couple of weeks ago
I could do with getting it out because i've already done the other bump stop,dont want to split the ball joint....any other options?

0.5 mm smaller or a comparable(but slightly smaller) imperial - then hammer the clopper in with a BFH!

I have spent the evening removing 3 of the rounded allen cltuch bolts...absolute swines I tell yee!!
Have you got a welder? This was my prefered method...welded hex head bit to bolt... even snapped two of them! Welded on socket seemed to work, but ruined socket!

as said try a quater inch allen key.. .. and wach it in.. try that and grips together..
should do it.. if not.. if you have a torx bit set then there normaly is one just bigger than 6 mm so try wacking that in..

Wleder was the onlyt hing that was going to work with mine! (Including welding oversized torx bit to one.) Guess it's my own fault for tightening up the bolts without torque wrench (in litterally freezing conditions over Christmas.)
