Ryan. Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 basically i've got a stuck isis bolt on the driveside crank, reason i'm removing it is because the crank has rounded slightly. but the bolts is more or less rounded but enough to put SOME pressure on....is there any other way of getting it off??

stevecoust Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 maybe try an impact driver (not the air powered one) with an 8mm allen key on it. worked for me. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 angle grind straight at it to make screwdriver? bad point is youll lose bit of your crank but hey! itll be lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenhopper Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Are you planning on keeping the crank in it's rounded state?Just put a grinder to it & when the crank is gone take the bolt out with a vice-grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani. Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Try putting come coke can around your allen key, push the b*****d in TIGHT and give it a go. Or you could loctite the allen key as said previously, don't forget to buy some new crankbolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
