Janson Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I rounded my bolts off when fitting some lock-on grips a few months or maybe a year ago.Today was the time to change the grips, and not surprising, the allen key just spun around in the bolt.The best way to remove these bolts is NOT trying to cut them in half or cut a groove for a screw driver, because the bolts are tiny.I'm pretty sure the bolts have a stupid UN thread, and not a metric one. Should be 1/8", but not 100%, I'm crap with inches. Anyway, what I did was grab a T15 torx key, and with the help of a small hammer, tap it into the head of the bolt. The T15 fits like a glove, and with a bit of caution the bolts came out no problems, and were replaced with fresh ones. if you're ghetto you can just put them back and tighten up the same way, but I wouldn't. I stretched a bit and got new ones off CRC, because I couldn't find that small bolts over here..Bolts... Expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
