WildBoneZ Posted Tuesday at 14:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:53 Any tips guys on removing a threaded allen screw?  I didn't even tighten this much and it's practically fused 🥲  Need it off to work on the internals any tips appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherBill Posted Tuesday at 15:05 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:05 either a flat head screwdriver tapped in or a torque head WildBoneZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted Tuesday at 15:06 Moderators Share Posted Tuesday at 15:06 You could try tapping a torx bit in to it, they're tapered slightly so go with the next size up that the Allen key was. Probably a good idea to try to get some wd40 or similar in to the thread for an hour before. Failing that, you may have to drill it out, not sure you'll find an "eazyout" kit that small though.

Andy905 Posted Tuesday at 15:37 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:37 If the above doesn't work use a hacksaw blade and cut a slot into the top then using a larger flat blade screwdriver you can then use it as a normal screw. WildBoneZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted Wednesday at 02:23 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:23 Before doing anything that could cause permanent damage try putting a rubber band over the end of the allen key for extra grip like this DJsnipe, ButcherBill and WildBoneZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
