Laurence--Trials Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I stupidly over tightened my magura mount's bolt and it snapped and unsure of how to get it out, any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manus-Rider Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 can you get hold off it with mole grips? if not i think your only other option is drill it out, then get the threads taped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i did manage to get it out without using a drill. i got a hack saw cut into the bolt got a screw driver pushed VERY hard for the screwdriver to not slip and adventitiously managed to get it out WIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 sooo... 2 bolts in one day, that sucks... how do i get this second one out? (it wasn't over tightened this time) there's about 3mm of the bolt out of the top of the magura mount and its shaped like the top of a triangle - in a point. I've spent a good hour and a half trying to do this one, and have done every way i can think of to try and get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 File the triangle flat, then hack saw a slot and use u screw driver. Since 2 bolts have broken I'd change all the bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Id buy a decent quality set of Steel bolts if I were you. Tarty sell some m5x25 Steel bolts that are really good. Ive had mine for well over 2 years now, and have only just had to replace them. (used a set of really worn allen Keys and it begun to round the head). I do mine up pretty tight too, and they haven't snapped! Cheaper than Ti-Bolts too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
