sstein Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Grind/hacksaw a groove in the head then use a screwdriver.agreed. If the bolt is too tight, drill the head off and there should still be enough left of the bolt to remove with a set of pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesnt work for you, then you've got problems lol.Kiwi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Willis Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Either drill it out yourself or take it to a bike shop and do it i had a rounded off bolt and they just drilled it out for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty r Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 hacksaw a groove in the bolt head to fit a screwdriver then boil the ketle and poor it over the hub where the bolt goes in it will expand the metal of the hub so the bolt comes out easy as pie and because its not a flame heating the metal it wont burn off any paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
