 Posted: 15:08 - 04 Nov 2016 Post subject: Removing a rounded off grub screw? |
 |
|
I have a grub screw which is slightly recessed into a hole. The allen head is completely rounded off.
Any ideas on how I can remove it?

I've done it with a Dremmel before now (once) - bit of a faff but I couldn't think of any other way.
Drilled it out with a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter and then worked the remaining threads out with needle nose pliers.
Took about 30 mins.

Ahahaa...
I had a look inside the thing... the grub screw is stuck because it's a not a grub screw. It's a casting that looks like a recessed grub screw and therefore impossible to remove!  ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.
