Rounded Allen Key Bolt

Whats the best way of removing an allen key bolt that's rounded?

Being the dribbler that I am, I kinda went abit keen and rounded it "/

 

put a pic up of it so we can see were it is so you can get the best advise to do it

 

usually by hacksawing a notch accross the top that you can get a screw driver into so as to undo the offending bolt

 

there is that or a set of mole grips but as i say its were it is

 

Plus 1 , or use a dremmel if uve got one m8

 

Is it one of the exhaust bolts?

 

Weld a nut to in, then spin the nut

 

to much gone for an impact driver?

Start it of with a centre punch on the side of the head,

 

Tap in a torx bit of similar size.

Job jobbed.

 

Is the head of the bolt exposed? You can sometimes bash an old multi point socket over the head of the bolt - works a treat on Bandit header bolts

I agree with Woody - welding something on works really well

 

fkinell kev thats a bit extreme mate... he's only rounded a nut off, i think a slapped wrist would be more appropriate :O

 

Nice one Bunny :lol: :lol: when you coming for this helmet ?

 

soon matey, when i get a minit lol

 

what he means to say is whack a bigger torx bit in, never fails

 

I claim no responsibility for the insinuation that may or may not be taken from any comment that could result in the flattening of digits and subsequent tourettes. :whistle:
But that about sums it up, bloke. :thumbsup:

 

i bet its not the first time hes had your helmet :lmfao: :lmfao:

 

I use a hacksaw on 2 edges to square it off an get a pair of mole grips on it.
