David20 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) This happened to me once to its so annoying. But this is what I done to solve it. Take a hack saw and cut a across the bolt to act as something to use a screw driver with, make sure you cut deep into it. Once you have done that take a big screw driver and use it too loosen the bolt by gripping it in the cut you made. HOpe I have helped Cheers David.

Thurston shut the hell up, the guy didn't want too know what happened(even if what you said is bull). He wanted too know how to fix it and now he does, so stop coming out with your smart ass coments that are not relavent to the topic.

JT! Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Whatever you do think about your hub while your doing it, try not to damage that in the process. If it has rounded, chances are it wont be in too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
