V12man Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I have a sneaky suspicion that you arent joking... the question is will you get an appy to do it? he is not joking - soapbox can just drop the frame with me tomorrow and it will be done for him. Dips is a man for all seasons...
Guest notmyname Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Why not use a thread extractor? Drill a small pilot hole, put in your thread extractor and reverse the direction. Works for stripped bolt heads.Isn't that what an easy out does? Drill small hole. Screw in easy out. The tool has a reverse thread and that's the magic.
DIPSLICK Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 This thread is lasting muchhhhhh looooonger than the process, get it to V12 I'll get a driver with a passport to fetch it, remove it I'll go get my yellow fever jab and drop it off across border again
Guest notmyname Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks all. I've completed my feed and will now get working on this frame. Thanks for all the input and offers. You Hubbers ROCK!
Ampandy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 You also welcome to bring it past my shop, unfortunately also in the East. Not far from another person in the East offering help.
Guest notmyname Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Right. So I've tried the steel wool, an inner tube, I tried a brand new Allen key which is now trashed and all have failed. It just so happens I work for a company that produces some of the world's best epoxies and putties(you know the one). I'm thinking of trying the quick set steel method tomorrow eve as an experiment. I'll post some pics if I'm successful. Thanks for the offers Dipslick and V12man and all the others that took the time to make suggestions and offer advice. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

Guest notmyname Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 You work for the SA company that has had one of their products on the moon?Yebo. But I work in the minerals side of the business supplying perlite to the agricultural and forestry sectors. Sticky business is not my forte. Neither is electrical for that matter.
Lexx Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I had the exact same problem, but it was the Bolt on my Cleat. Had to take it to my Father in law to drill it out with his titanium drill bits. What a damn Mission...
cadenceblur Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 What do you know? I have the same problem - stripped the head on my stem bolt - anyone in CT have this tool?
droo Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 An EZ-Out? I have one, but what kind of stem do you have? Some of them have Ti bolts, which just eat drill bits for breakfast...
RocknRolla Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 What's the latest in the Soapbox stripped bolt head saga?
cadenceblur Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 An EZ-Out? I have one, but what kind of stem do you have? Some of them have Ti bolts, which just eat drill bits for breakfast...Hi Droo It's a Thomson MTB stem.
DIPSLICK Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 An EZ-Out? I have one, but what kind of stem do you have? Some of them have Ti bolts, which just eat drill bits for breakfast...thats a different type of job, not impossible just another level of difficult
droo Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Hi Droo It's a Thomson MTB stem. No problem. Bring beer. thats a different type of job, not impossible just another level of difficult I know a guy who has the tools and the patience. It's a proper mission though.
V12man Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 thats a different type of job, not impossible just another level of difficultEasy enough to grind a slot in usually - then use a screwdriver bit....
