I've been trying to get the deck plate unbolted soI could re-grip it but so far i've only managed to get 8/12 of the bolts out. Don't say i'm weah because i've already stripped 2 of the axels trying to get it out! I Alsotried putting WD-40 on the to try to loosen it up but it didnt work.
Also is there any place where I can buy new deck plate bolts for them? I'm pretty sue one of them is stripped.

Mark,
I'm sorry for the problem with the bolts. They tend to strip if you tighten them TOO much, which I know EVERYONE Does. Because when it's tight it's stronger right? lol. So this is what you can do my friend.

Since your bolt keeps turnning and it still won't come out, that means now that your "pop-nut" (steal threaded insert in the frame) has also stripped and will just turn and turn and turn, No luck getting that out.

What I've told everyone before is that if this happens, SEND IT BACK TO TSI AND WE WILL FIX IT FOR FREE!!!. That's because we have the tool and extra pop-nuts to replace, and since this is such a problem I have no problem with doing the service for free. As long as YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING.

In the long run, it's worth the wait. Most people don't send in their stripped decks, because they just wanna ride! (kids, lol) But if you really love your TSI Deck, We will fix it up for you if you want.

Hope what I said might help.

Regards,
KC Corning
