ICS help

[Anton]

Aight so I got a french ID fork, ultra pro deck and baby slayers and its all stuck together with a stripped ICS bolt. Any ideas on how to get it out?

 

[issac miller]

well here's what i did when this happened to me.
i loosened the clamp all the way and just stomped on the deck as hars as i could while holding the bars but it has to be off the ground obviously.
it should break the starnut and be able to be pulled off

Use fire

 

[Anton]

what you mean?

 

[Bennett_J]

what you mean?

Take an M-80 or M-2000, stick it in your fork, light it, and the rod should probably come loose.

Or take a flamethrower and melt the headtube as to allow for you to manually unscrew your bolt

 

[Anton]

oh thanks bro ill try that

Break the ICS cap. Your forks will come right out.

Is the head stripped or are the threads stripped

 

[Anton]

the head

 

[Parker AZ]

I have an idea loosen the clamp as much as possible, secure the forks in a vice or something then unscrew the bars

 

[Anton]

I tried that but I didn't have a vise so I put the a tube between the fork legs and started spinning the bars but the bolt was just spinning with the bars.

 

[Anton]

Can anyone help?

Break the ICS cap or drill the bolt out... there's really not that much to be done. Last case scenario buy an SCS and cut your bars off with a saw, 2 inches up.

drill the head of the ics bolt out till you can slide your bars off then break the starnut.

profit.

Wait, the HEAD is rounded? Wow, that's not what I thought you meant. Just cut a slit in the head of the bolt and unscrew it with a screwdriver.
