dann2707 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've tried mole grips, tried cutting a slot in it but it just won't un screw regardless Is it f**ked completely?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Gentle persuasion tap with a hammer to loosen it slightly? I'm assuming you're holding the other side so it's not just spinning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza1414 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 are the hub centres removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) drill it hollow and screw it out with one of those,dont know how theyre called in english: drilling it hollow will also take out some pressure of the bolt,and those thingies are left hand threaded edit:bolt extractors,as simple as can be haha Edited March 5, 2014 by FamilyBiker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 How did you break it off in the first place? Ez-outs that are pictured above work quite well. Have you tried warming the ally axle up and then trying to screw the bolt out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alecwray Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I have had this problem few times when younger my dad just used to weld somthing to the end and unscrew it like jack said Edited March 5, 2014 by alecwray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebryan Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Easy 1 File broken bit flat and smooth 2 Center punch/dab bang in middle 3 Drill pilot hole with a small as you can drill and dont brake the drill, just drill light and slow 4 Use next size drill and keep it straight so almost size of broken bolt, so little of bolt left 5 If theres little left, some times if can be picked away or unscrewed 6 If a lot of the bolt remains and holds together DO NOT USE any easy out as above if they break you cant drill them and stuck with it in trust me been there 7 Get and old bolt slightly bigger than drilled hole and buff/grind a square tapper on end and chap into hole and unscrew the broken part 8 If threads are damaged helicoil repair kit needed Have done this many times with different kinds of bolts ie exhaust hardened steel bolts baked in hole and sheared/eroded off or bolts in aluminium have sheared and seized You can weld a nut to it and fill hole in nut but is kinda small for that or bolt idea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) welding works well.. but not if the axle is ally (can't tell from the pic) The clap? Deeper slot or Left hand drill and the easy out *they are shite on a seized bolt but that isn't what you have so it will work as long as you choose the right size Alternatively, get brads brother to knock it out Edited March 5, 2014 by *gentlydoesit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsalot Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd go with the heating up the axle and bearing cover. Aluminium expands faster than steel doesn't it....not too hot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd take the axle out of the hub first, then you can work on it more easily.Should come out fine with what you've done, unless there was threadlock on the bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
