Worn hex screws - your solution

[Scars]

Friends - doesnt this fcuk you off!!!

Anyhow whats your answer to at least get the little bugger out replace it.

usual answer for me is to saw a ridge in it so i can use a screw driver but were talking a grub screw thats threaded underneath the body so cant get a Jr hack saw in

Anybody??

try hardware stores for screw grab/or similar.its a gritty solution that fills the gaps between the screw head and srewdriver,should work on a hex

 

[le-pig]

or screw extractors,there reversed threaded so when you srew them into the head it unscrews the screw itself(but you need a pilot hole)

go hardcore!!!

drill that sucker, drop an allen key into it, lockitite the fuucker and then unscrew as per normal.

man its cool, and there's a huge chance you could screw your marker up which makes it proper exciting

I use super glue, but otherwise, same as Mario.

much as I love the excitement that mario offers, I'm with Le-Pig. Stud extractors cost about a tenner for a couple of different sizes, and as long as it's not horrifically threaded or anything, it'll come out sweet as a nut when attached to a normal cordles drill on 'unwind' setting

as long as it's not into tight, bang a small flatbalde screw driver in there and turn.

failing that get some other bugg*r to do it for you

next size allen key up, bang it in with a hammer, hey presto
