jeramie Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 In the middle of doing a pancake bearing install and decided to do the shifter star mod. The screw is stripped to shit. Cant really get a dremel in there to put a notch in it for a flathead. Any ideas where I should go from here Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 You could try a thin pointed punch and hammer and tap it counter clockwise out. Quote
Starwriter Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 It's probably loctited. Heat it before you try to remove it. If all else fails, try drilling it with a left hand drill bit in a reversible drill. Quote
DEREEL Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I had the same issue with my star screw. I used a impact screwdriver and it came right out. Just dont kill it when you hit the screwdriver, a good solid tap and it should break it free. Mine was completly stripped out! Quote
jeramie Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Alright finally got it out. Drilled it out and tapped in a torx bit and put a ratchet on it. Now, to try to find a new screw today..... Quote
m671054 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Got mine at the hardware store. Got it at lowes. The head isnt flat but it doesnt seem to hit anything. better hardware store probably even has allen head that would work Quote
