Muel Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Shouldn't be stiff if you're stripped the threads out of the frame, should just come out no trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presuming it's the brake mount bolt has it not got the threads from the frame stuck to the bolt? No the threads on the frame are fine for just now, i think the threads on the bolt have been pulled down while taking the bolt off, i cannot get the bolt off and there is deffinitly no threads on the top of it. Shouldn't be stiff if you're stripped the threads out of the frame, should just come out no trouble? I havnt stripped the frame threads, just the bolt thread.

Muel Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 You've stripped the thread off the bolt? Or rounded the head out of it so the allen key can can turn it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its deffinitly the threads man, the allen key fits in fine, as i said there is no threads on the bolt because they have all been stripped off.

Alex Dark Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 The top portion of a lot of bolts is bare of thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Put the Allen key in then use some leverage, if your nervous about the Allen key comming off the bolt glue it in then take it out after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
