Bolt's Ruined

[connornub]

The bolts on my clamp are a little ruined (Stock Madd Gear Pro). The inside of the part where the allen key goes is rounded from excesive tightening. Are there any ways to tighten/loosen this bolt

 

[Michael Rankin]

do the bolts stick out the other side of the clamp at all? if so, use a hacksaw and cut a little slit in the ends of the bolts. then use a small flathead screwdriver to unscrew them.

if they dont stick out, use a hacksaw to cut the bolts thru the slit in the clamp. then unscrew the pieces, and replace the bolts.

hope that helped

 

[connornub]

aww man. so theres no way to do it without cutting it?

 

[Michael Rankin]

not rele? are you trying to salvage the bolts or something? cuz if they are sripped, they are useless

 

[connornub]

No im not trying to salvage them lol. But I need to tighten it. Otherwise i'll just wait to go to the hardware. Do you know what type of bolt though? (size)

Conor told me M6 before I believe.

 

[Michael Rankin]

i believe it is m6

 

[connornub]

So I look for an M6 bolt with the Allen key hole, or does it already have the Allen key hole in it because it's M6. I'm confused. And thanks btw guys.

 

[Michael Rankin]

the term m6 refers to the thread size and type. if you buy an m6 bolt, it will most likely have the allen head on it.
