Stripped Bolt!!!
« on: September 09, 2006, 08:42:15 PM »

I was trying to remove the allen bolts holding the seat on and stripped one of them.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the dang thing out?  I tried a screw extractor kit, but it is not made for this type of application.  I would like to avoid having to drill it out.  Please lend me your advice!

Thanks.

Hammer in an appropriately sized Torx bit and you can get it out.

when you get the bolt out, do the seat pin mod. i've done it and it makes a world of difference getting the seat off. here's the link.  http://bareasschoppers.com/seatpin/
