Removing Stripped Set Screw

[Its Alex]

How do i remove a set screw from the top gear square if its stripped out. (its the shaft with the clutch bell on it

 

[rcspeedmart]

usually tapping a star set bit will get tight enough and let you back it out.

 

[Its Alex]

do you mean torx????

and this screw was that tight backing it out that it just slipped and stripped

 

[rcspeedmart]

Ok torx should work.

didnt work ay other ideas?

 

[Its Alex]

i got it i had to heat it up and pound an sae ito it backed right out

 

[TerraKill]

usually a torx bit and a drill on hammer mode gets mine out, but a bit of heat for the stubbon ones work

The heat softens up the locktite.

i know that this doesn't pertain to your post but on your website you have the dunerunner wing and bumper for 100$ a piece and on redcats site they are 10$ a piece i was just giving you a heads up asz to the typo or price difference.

if you have a dermal and a cut off wheel cut grove in the middle of the set screw and remove it with a screw driver
