#75528 dogman539 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I started removing my stock exhaust and i have to remove the old exhaust bracket. In doing so, I partially stripped one of the 8mm allen screws. Any suggestions on how to get this out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #75529 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3174 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Use a dremel and slot it, then put a pen torch on it to heat it and give it a go.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/09 20:58 By javawave.   \" A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75532 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3174 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I've cut flat side on the head of the bolt and used vise grips too. Both will work.   Logged     \" A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75536 dogman539 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   this two screws are recessed it will be hard to get in there. They actually hold the bracket for the exhaust. not the two that hold the exhaust in place   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #75537 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3174 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   let me go out and look........those are going to be tough. I have tried easy outs, but not with alot of success. I would still try to slot them as much as you can use a standard screw driver. I stripped one on my floor boards because I used a standard allen socket on a metric bike. Pretty brite of me. My bolt head extend just beyond the bracket, but barely. Not compeletly recessed.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/09 21:10 By javawave.   \" A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75538 dogman539 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   What a pain in the butt, of course its the last screw, before I can start mounting my new pipes. I will give it a shot in the morning. Thanks for your help   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #75540 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3065 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Use a hammer and a cold chisel and split the nut in half. You will have to get a new nut and bolt but you can find metric bolts and nut at auto stores, Home Depot, Lowes and hardware stores.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75541 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3174 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Sorry I dont have a magic answer for you. One of my only disappointments with the Roadie is the quality of the bolts and screws they use. I have found them all to be very soft.   Logged     \" A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75542 dogman539 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   You are right, the bolt is real soft it will come out one way or the other. Thanks again for your help   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #75545 dogman539 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:need some help 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago   The head is recessed quite a bit will be hard for a chisel to get at it   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
