E Eric Magray Steel Member May 11, 2008 #2 use a hack saw to cut a slit in it and get it out with a flathead screwdriver
E ENERGY TURTLE Member May 11, 2008 #3 Is it actually stripped? You do know you need an allen key for each side or it will just spin in the fork and wont even loosen. Or it could be stripped...
