#954 mtbdave (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Allen bolt stripped 4 Years, 2 Months ago   Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove a stripped allen bolt from underneath the left floarboard. Stripped it today tring to install a crashbar.. How to remove it yourself? Can the dealer do it and what do they charge? Any other places where I can take it to?

Those bolts are soft and strip way easy. I have replaced mine with SS bolts. I was doing a lot of removal making my floor board extensions. The left ones, first time I tried to take them out striped. Impact hammer, impact gun ... everything I had available failed except the Dremel and a cutting wheel. Cut a plus sign deep into the head and then you can just pop the head off in quadrants.   Logged     - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CRASH Visit my Hellriser Garage and check out my bike!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #998 Midnightstarman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:Allen bolt stripped 4 Years, 2 Months ago   Another way to remove this or any other bolt is to use an &quot;Easy Out&quot;. This is basically a backwards tap. You start by drilling ahole in the bolt, insert the &quot;Easy Out&quot; and thread it in. This will cause the bolt to back out (usually).   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1001 CRASH (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Allen bolt stripped 4 Years, 2 Months ago   I had a real tough time getting my easy out stuff under the board. I suppose I could have pulled the board at the hinge and then done it. After a quick mental calc, decided I could Dremel them way faster. Why don't they use real metal in those bolts?   Logged     - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CRASH Visit my Hellriser Garage and check out my bike!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003 RSMGreg (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 22 Re:Allen bolt stripped 4 Years, 2 Months ago   I have the same problem on my right floorboard. One bolt won't budge. Yamaha must have use a bottle of LokTite. The other bolt was stripped to start with. I can't get any traction with the allen wrench.   Logged     Buzz   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1903 billmh (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Re:Allen bolt stripped 3 Years, 9 Months ago   I had the exact same problem. Took it to the dealer and they did it for nothing. Even put the crash bars on for me.   Logged     Bill Hendrickson 05 RS Silverado Presently in Kuwait Sometimes in Florida Want to be in New Mexico   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1907 Motostar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:Allen bolt stripped 3 Years, 9 Months ago   They are a pain to remove, let me guess its the left side front bolt ? Once i stripped it with the impact I cut a slot (where would we be without a dremel) and used a chisel and hammer, piece of cake.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
