Removing knackered allen bolts

(1/2) > >>

the stag:
…rescued another bike from the tip today – anyone got any ideas how to remove an allen bolt from the stem, that has worn away inside and the key is just spinning in there?

Thanks for your help

kdw712:
If you can get a dremel in there what about grinding out a slot to get a flat blade screwdriver into
or grind awway the entire bolt head  - i had to do that with XCii and the hex head cage bolts

the stag:
i like the slot idea - good thinking - will give it a bash when i get home - thanks very much :daumenhoch:

kdw712:
can't beat grinding a nice slot  >:D  :daumenhoch:

theRuler:
get a slightly larger splined bit and whack that in
