    Unhappy I finished up a partially stripped hex bolt.

    Any ideas on how to get this out? It was partially stripped when I went to take off the rotor, and then when I tried to move it, well, let's just say it's all the way stripped now. It's number 2 in the realoem diagram. I'm afraid I'll have to drill it...

    Sears makes a special bit that will get it out.

    Somebody help me out here- out to dinner with the wife and she's giving me the evil eye for being on the phone.

    Lol, pay attention to your wifey- this isn't urgent. :D

    I'll check out the sears bit though.

    I think my po thought that tiny bolt held the entire wheel on or something. Damn is it tight!

    It's all good. She's still smiling.

    It's called the Craftsmen Screw Out, iirc.

    Had the same happen to me. Had to drill out. Damage threads on hub getting it put. No bigger. Screw is not needed and will be replaced when I change out that hub.

    simple fix my friend.

    usually called an "EZ out."

    predrill to the dimension required for the ez-out you'll use, then thread it in and turn away.

    Yeah...that's what we were all alluding to, but failed to say. It's going to be tough to drill that without damaging threads. Not saying it can't be done though.

    It just depends on how the head was stripped and where the bit decides to go.

    Yep- ultimately, the screw serves no purpose other than to hold the rotor on the hub on the assembly line, afaict.

    I would soak it with some PB Blaster or WD40 and then use the screw out.

    I think that will get it out without damaging the threads.

    The screw out bites into what's left of the stripped recess. Should be better than drilling it out.
