Removing rounded bolt?

[Littlewebber]

Hey guys, today i went to remove my restrictors (throttle stop and washers) to pit restricted ecu in, but in the process managed to round bolt thats holding in the throttle stop. I knew it had loctite used on it so heated with soldering iron and all in one releasant stuff?

But as it in such a tight place, at the end of the throttle cable on the carbs i cant think how to remove it? Any ideas would be great :) thanks in advance

I don't know what the access is like for your bolt or what its like, but when I've rounded bolts off (I'm heavy handed, but have learnt through bitter experience) I've hacksawed a slot in the top & undone them with a screwdriver.

if a hacksaw is to big a small file can help flatten the edges enough to get a spanner in sometimes. but all dependant on the amount of room in there.

try soaking it in some penetrating fluid ( eg plus gas ) as this stuff is worth its weight in gold from the rebuilds ive done.

Space is very tight, can only just get screwdrover in there, it where the theottle cables connect to cars, ive disconnected cara from cylinders to get a straight lone at it but dont wanna have to completely disassemble carbs

I had same issue. I used plenty of WD40. Then used a hammer with the screw driver in place and hit it hard to make a deeper cross head dent. Or use a sharp chisel like hard metal and bang a gap for a flat screw driver. I was lucky to save mine.

I managed to get it today after soaking it overnight in releasant and using one those easyout tool bits

nail polish remover for the threadlock and hit the bolt with a impact driver.
