Title: Fancy a screw...?!
Post by: Devilock on April 25, 2012, 06:54 PM

Basically one of the screws on my XC II's has been slightly rounded off so what solutions do you lot have for removing the bastard?

Nice punch there Mikey  :daumenhoch:

I drill a small hole through the screw being very careful not 2 drill straight through the ally body aswell  ::) then hammer a tight fitting alley key into the hole and that should get it out by turning very carefully . Try and tighten it a little first as this normally cracks the stickyness  ;)
