    Do you know any other tips to remove a stripped allen bolt?

    • @BenS925

      A method ive used many times in the past involves a dremel rotatory tool and two regular cut-off wheels inserted on the supplied shaft to use cut off wheels (I don't know the actual name of this part). Next cut a notch across the head of the fastener. A 1/4" flat head screw driver fits in this slot easy. Its not pretty because you can cut into the surface of the part you want to remove, not just the fastener, but it does work. Works with other fastener types as well.

      Yes, you can use a centre punch. First, punch it straight, on the edge. Then at an angle in the punched hole in the direction to loosen the bolt.

    Enjoyed your video....but I actually didn't use any of the methods....but your video game me an idea. I definitely use the first 2 methods because the bolt was recessed. On the last method, the first 2 places I went didn't have such a kit..(although my 3rd stop was going to be Harbor Freight) I couldn't afford to buy an entire kit of something (even though I'm sure I'll need it in the future.) Enough rambling....the bolt in question was an M5 .80 thread. The head used a 4 mm hex. I ended up successfully using a T25 torx bit and it worked! Your 3rd method gave the idea! This was for the clamps on a motorcycle handlebar riser...Thank You!

  • @BrewCityRider
    @BrewCityRider 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Very helpful video. A couple other methods that I have used are an impact screwdriver with a hex socket attached, and probably my favorite is using a torx socket and tapping it in the hex bolt to get some bite. The latter is what ended up working for me on a stripped transmission hex drain bolt on my Softail. Thanks.

    I viewed numerous viideos and wish I had come across your first. The "stripped allen removal set" bit was the only way it worked for me on a shower faucet. I bought and tried the standard screw extractor set which may work fine for standard flat or Phillips head screws but on a small allen wrench "bolt" it just went round and round. Perhaps when I drilled it for the aforementioned screw extractor I created the opening to be enough to get a star-shaped bit (with teeth, as you put it) to fit in and stick when I tapped it with a hammer. Then slowly and prayerfully I turned the ratchet and it stayed nice and snug and was able to unscrew it. Thank you very much. - Allan

    1. Instead of using the rubber band method, use aluminum tinfoil. It's an harder material than the rubber obviously, and will fill in the gap between the allen key and the stripped bolt. place a small piece of the foil over the bolt and push in (or hammer in) the key, OR, place a little piece over the allen key and push it in. When you feel that it's tight, turn to open.
    2. Torx. Best method for me. Place a Torx BIT over the hole and hammer it in gently but firmly. Tap tap tappy tap until it is IN. Then turn it to open while you're pushing it in. You'll be modifying the allen into a Torx hole. Worked for me just now. Stripped M4 flathead and the 2.5mm hole was stripped. The 2.75mm hammering of the allen (7/64" allen) didn't get in. But the #15 Torx which is actually 3.25mm got it because of its sharp corners.

    A method I use a lot (depending on available space) is to cut a slot into the head with an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc, so it ends up like a slotted screw. It may come out with a screwdriver then, or impact driver. As it’s stripped though it’s probably tight so usually end up knocking it round with a small chisel.

    Something that works for me nearly every time is to use a Torx bit. The teeth of the Torx will grab the inside of a hole.
    Also, if you get a green stone Dremel grinding bit and first flatten then slightly cup the center of an Allen key you can hammer that into the head of some bolts and broach the hole a little. I try the original size first and then the next size up. If it's a metric choose a standard and standard choose a metric.

We soaked the bolts in Kroil penetrating oil(highly recommended) and that did the trick, but we had to be very ginger about turning the EZ out. First we tried to use an impact driver on it but we ended up gently turning the EZ out tap with just a Crescent wrench until it cracked and then hit the impact drill/driver.

      I use a turpentine laser torch with a flux capacitor tip that super heats the bolt to 2000 degrees it vaporizes the bolt everytime along with the project but hey at least its out

    Watched this video and didn’t have any of the options available to me at the time. Another way I just found to be successful is to hammer in a spline socket! I was taking my calipers apart to rebuild and It was my last resort before I was about to throw my calipers out. The spline too it out easily

    I don’t think I’ve seen this in the comments yet. I’ve tried the dremel across the middle to use a flat head but didn’t have any luck with my last one. Solution: used a dremel on 2 sides of a button head to give myself something to attach vice grips to.

    Your set, looks wary much as Torx, maybe worth trying.
    There are other methods, try to place some rubber between the screw and the bit, it do often help a lot.
    Or try to use reverse drill bits at wary slow RPM, that do also help a lot. :-)

    if all esle fails you might be able to braze or solder a nut or top of a bolt over the srtripped thread, then undo gripping on that.
