guineasmithpig Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) East Outs (google search) don't faff about. get some/one o these. makes the job far far easier. similar to a thread tapping tool, but with an anti-clockwise thread. so u drill a hole smaller in diameter than the bolt through the head downwards, and screw in the Easy Out until it gets to wide for the hole. keep twistin and it unscrews the bolt. saves u supergluin the bolt in by mistake, or meltin anythin tryin to weld somethin to the top. Easy peasy. i would get a set maself, but i don't round bolts of tongue.gif smithy helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo? and again, if u can undo the bolt with a screwdriver (which has near zero leverage) how in the f**k did u round it off in the first place!? argh! i hate being a perfectionist (or do i just do things 'correctly'?) either way, usin the CORRECT tools eliminates any chance of wreckin other stuff. and generally, tools are cheaper than bike parts smithy Edited June 14, 2005 by guineasmithpig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 you can do stuff up pretty tight with a screwdriver...i used one on my 4-bolt mounts for a while.. got me a quality screwdriver though....tis a ratcheting stanley one with a "phat" handle..and interchangeable ends :blink: adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks adam for saying that. See smithy, you can use a srewdriver. Dont get bitter because you need a massive extension on your allen key just to do up your mag lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Scenario 2: I have the same issue however the top of the bolt is below the top of the chainring, so sawing grooves, angle grinding wouldnt work. Also the chainring bolt in there is ~2years old and was initially put in with loctite. :"> The chainring does need replacing so if destroying it with a grinder is the only option then so be it :blink: Any ideas on how to extract bolt and salvage chainring? Will. ← Get a file, file a spanner flat onto the edge of the bolt, use a spanner to unscrew the bolt. Same goes for the guy who started the thread.
