Lucky SMX starnut removing

[Bartek Pachota]

Hello
I'm in big troubles, i don't like making unnecessary threads but i really need help. I put starnut in my lucky smx forks, but it wasn't exactly straight and when i was tightening it the parts with threads just "unglued" of rest (I don't know is it correct) and everything is spinning know. Is there any way to remove this broken starnut? As you probably know smx has got really thick walls so i can't just hammer it up.

A long screwdriver from the bottom and hit the flanges should work

drill it out

 

[parrish]

hammer it a little deeper in and then just put a new one in

[Devin Parker]

drill it out or if u dont have a drill, then just put another starnut on top of it...are u going ics or something?

You can't put another starnut in it, I think.

Best bet would be to smash it up and out from the bottom. Good luck

I call this ^

 

[joshie.does.tucks]

what i did was i used an ics bolt through the bottom and hammerd it out

^ thats what I did and then I got a 1 inch starnut and not a 1 1/4 one.

 

[yoyoflavored]

how about hammering it deeper to bend the flanges inward, then hammering it out?

Oh... and put some grease/oil/wd40 in to?
