Carlperkins Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 just as some extra info.. 4mm allen key will fit M5, 5mm allen key will fit M6 6mm allen key will fit M7 and so on... and the x 25/ x45 the 25 or 45 etc relates to the length of the bolt in mm.

dave33 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Low cap heads normally have a bigger hex as the depth is less So m5 is 5mm I've had 5mm allen key fit M5 threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 And dome heads often have smaller hex so that M6's use a 4mm Allen key! But yeah, use a vice and hacksaw to trim the too long ones if they're in reasonable condition otherwise and file the cut end slightly to clean the thread up and remove burrs. If they're screwed ( ) buy new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Put a nut on the screw first cut it and then undo the nut, ta da, perfect threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
