Removing rounded bolt?
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 |

Re: Help- rounded bolt
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.

Re: Help- rounded bolt
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. |

Re: Help- rounded bolt
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.
