Thanks but its on the katana and I have not even tried it cos I am waiting to fill the blimin cylinder back up but thanks...I cant even get the beast off its stand on my own

[Squiggles]

just buy a screw extractor of the right size,

i also find that impact drivers are the best way to get them out to start with, instead of your usual screwdriver, find the right bit (one always seems to fit perfectly fer me) and wack it a couple of times before twisting... havent had to drill out any screws since i started doing this....

Waitakere City for those who dont know where scott base it

[Blondini]

Thanks for all the great advice...I will keep you posted as to how it gets removed...

gimmeen a yeodle-- I have YE bloody big hammer--iffn that dont work I have ye-truely enormous hammer
once the whole cylinder is pulped-buy a new one and fit it--problem solved
Of course if ya prefer I also have an impact driver with a fine point on it and a couple of other tools desighned to sort out a problem just like yours

its easy to fix

Ahhhhhggggggg a screw extractor ,,,,,

get a phillips screwdriver that fits the other scew well .. ie the right tool .

Now 2 ways depending on the state of the screw , use a blunt punch the size or slightly over the core thread size 4, 5 mm dia smartly rap the top of screw with puch and hammer , this will reform top of the screw , also it wil shock the thread relaxing the grip a tiny bit

now WARM the area up with a warm air gun ,,( becareful)

use a goog screwdriver with a good handle and it should sail out


all else fails drill it ,

when refiting use a tiny amount of anti seize under the head of screw

must dash work to do

Sorry about hurried reply !!

With the right approach what Frosty says.
Else it will be rubbish bin material.

BD--sorry bro tis toolate for that fix--She's burred the entire head out--typical old suzi screw

[Max Preload]

For a start, throw away the Philips screwdrivers and get a Posidrive set.

Secondly, don't use a eziout extractor - it WILL break and you'll be stuffed. Simply drill the stuffed head off with a drill of the same size as the thread (someone mentioned they're M4, so 4mm even though M4 is actually slightly under that so if you have a 3.5mm use that).

Swarf will not go into the master cylinder because the seal is underneath the cap.

LOLOL... on the bright side there is a solution... I have an impact driver and it's just down the road. I'll drop it by with an 'ammer and see if we can get it out but...

first things first -you'll need a new one to replace it with - before you take the other one out.

As for Blondini having trouble screwing... errrmm... I find that hard to believe personally ...

[terbang]

But if it has a crater now (stripped out) then whacking it with an impact driver will only smoth things out a bit. Its also an ally housing so whacking it isn't a great option either. For christ sake don't go near stud extractors, it wil end in tears. Accurate, progressive drilling is the answer.

[imdying]

They're piss weak those screws... having said that, they give little trouble if the correct screwdriver is used... most people don't know the difference between pozi and phillips though.

I'm all for drilling it out as described above. Sounds difficult, but isn't. What's left of the cross will act as a guide, just don't be brutal.

People have been know to hammer a flat head down into it, and to turn that
