Seized Bolt

[Patscooters]

I SEARCHED
ok so first I am using a proto half knuckle with rad crows and lucky hic.
by the way the clamp is upside down if it matters.
I used wd40 and triflow and all that.
So one bolt comes off and the other is stuck I cannot cut the bolt because it is so far in even if I do cut it I won't be able to get a grip on it.
and rob I tried your technique of tightening the other bolt and losening it but it doesn't work. And my dad tried it and he couldn't get it off please reply fast.

try using leverage, like a pipe over the allen wrench. that should help

 

[Patscooters]

are you being sarcastic? If not can you explain

 

[DavidCronin]

umm, like have the allen wrench in the bolt like you would when your trying to loosen it, and the end that isnt in the bolt, stick a longer pipe over it and use it as leverage.
idk if that made sense

 

[Patscooters]

sorry I read it wrong I thought you meant try using an allen wrench

 

[DavidCronin]

ohh okay, but what i said should work

 

[Patscooters]

ohh okay, but what i said should work

well I tried it and it just completely stripped the place where the wrench goes and it's like not able to loosen

I don't know dude. I've never had to fix a seized bolt. I grease everything

bike shop? not much help but that probably your best bet on getting it fixed.

Get a slightly bigger allen key, hammer it into the head of the bolt and then hit the allen key fo yo life with the hammer

Had the same problem. Drilled it out and fucked the threads and now I can't use it

Be careful not to strip it, make sure the allen key is always in properly.
If it's sticking out far enough the other side you can cut the bolt in half through the middle of the clamp, and then cut a slit in the end of the bolt and screwdriver it out.

You can push real damn hard lmao.

But yeah, hope that helps.

if the threading is sticking out even a little u should be able to grip it with plyars or even fingernails just cut it a little more to the side where the allen head is so that side will just fall out
