"The threads are not stripped......rather, the Allen nut head is rounded off...... "
Are you saying that the Allen nut head won't except an Allen wrench, to tighten or remove it? IF so, you can by special extractor bits "easy outs", that allow you to remove bolts/screws with damaged heads. SEARS sells a nice set, fits in electric drill. Some require you drill the head out a little, the better onces are machined to dig in when you reverse the drill, extracting the bolt. |
