Stem help !!

(1/5) > >>

tobytyke:
My new build arrived today

The stem Allen bolt is fooked, rounded out & rusted to Fook

Need it off  as to get the forks off

Any tips  :-\

Lee  :idiot2:

Peter J:
Drill (better if you know someone with a pillar drill)

A steady hand

and a rubber hammer  :daumenhoch:

Oh and WD40

theRuler:
If it protrudes from the stem, an external stud extractor would do the job.

tobytyke:
The bolt is not protruding
Just tried drilling with no impact what so ever
 :idiot2: :'( >:D  :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:

theRuler:
Get a hold of some spline bits.

The one for VW driveshafts is just a fraction bigger than a 6mm allen key - you should be able to get this spline bit at a good car accessory shop.

Get this VW driveshaft spline bit, and hammer it into the the allen bolt.

Also before you do it,  pour a kettle of boiling water over it - the heat may help you out.
