I bought a new brake bearing carrier for my Rovan Baja 5b, and in order to install it, I had to take off a plate held-in by metal in metal screws to access the stock bearing carrier. Out of three, 2 came out. The third? It won't budge and then the socket stripped out. Sigh...
Now I have 2 known alternatives: #1, get a Dremel type cutting wheel, make a groove, and fight it out with a regular screwdriver, or #2: Heat the seized-up screw, let the threadlock soften, and then see if it backs out.
Are there any other methods of loosening stripped bolt/screw heads? HELP!
