i need help on how to get a stripped screw out

thanks

go buy an "easy out" set from sears, they are about 20 bucks, for me though, if i have enough patience and trust in myself, i will stick in a small dill bit, drill it out, move to a bigger one, keep drilling. You start to weaken the bolt by removing the center, , then just tap it with a hammer or eventually it will crack off. MAKE SURE you are in the dead center and go in level, if you go off to one side you will ruin your threads and then youll have bigger problems

Another thing you can do is if you have a cut-off tool, cut a slit in the head of the screw and back it our with a flathead screwdriver.

if your got a wire or a stick welder, tack weld a nut on the end and turn it out i`ve done that 2wice now
just make shure you dont weld the screw in

my friend was telling me about this putty stuff that is just like JB WELD only you put some of the 'putty' on the stripped screw and place a screwdriver into it and when it hardens you have a good screw...dont know if it works or not though

Easy outs are tough to use, you gotta be real careful and hit the center just perfect. Cutting a groove for a flathead worked for me last time. And the welding a nut onto the stripped screw works sometimes. When all else fails you gotta use derek's drill and redrill technique. Whichever way you go take your time and hit dead center.

go to sears and buy a a thing called screw out and if its a bolt then ask for the thing called bolt out it grabs ahold of the bolt/ screw with the drill in reverse and pulls it out. works god for me

Its so anoying having to do it... Luckily every time I have taken a Head off a screw they came out pretty easy. Just drill a pilot hole and put the easy out in it... :D

easiest way if the heads are stripped it to take a chisel and make a lil notch and put the end of the chisel in there and hit it it it comes loose

on one of the screws that goes through the discs on my e-series silencer, the head came off. what should i do to get the rest of the screw out?

[300exQuadracer]

cant ya just take all the rest of them out and then take the disks out and it might be easy nuff to just turn it out maybe i dunno

[.:01_eXrIdEr:.]

ok i will try that, thanks for the input

how would i get a screw i broke off in the frame right by the exhaust it is that little wire type bar that blocks your plastic from the exhaust.

there is 2 screws one on top one on bottom they screw into these little box type things on the subframe.

how could i get it out

it is even with the hole it goes in so i cant grab it.

you can use a heli coil, or you can take a hack saw and make a slit in it, and use a flat head screw driver, or you can heat it, thats what i always do....

[honda 400ex 69]

what is a heli coil and how would i use a hack saw if the screw is all the way in with no head?

i broke the same one off, i just put 2 zip ties on it after i drilled it out, its snazzy now:cool:

someone told me while ago that if its a philips that is rounding off, just to file it a bit til a small flat-head fits in it...

or if its a bolt just drill it out with one of the bits thatdo that, and just reverse it out..
