Goldtec Hub Bolt issue

I use nails...

my pedros 6mm fits perfect in mine

Surely a screw has to be pointed, for piercing into things, and a bolt doesn't - whatever moog says. Commonsenseinnit?

M5 is width of threaeded area, then you need to thing abot the type of thread ie course and fine.

knock a bigger torx bit in to the bolt, is what i do. I have a great experience of poor quality bolts.

And again?

Ed, my allen set is a pedros

The fucker is still not turning with the slits cut into it - screwdriver aint working...

fuck

Drill. HTFU. Beer.

Are you turning it the right way? Lefty loosy righty tighty........

WD-40. Try again. Then drill.

He's from Southern Hemisphere. It's opposite.

all i need is a midget with the amount of wd40 ive used

anti clockwise....

dont like the idea of drilling

Those guns of yours have failed you? For shame...

is there some urgent mechanical reason to get the wheel off?

they destroyed it in the first place

i replaced the cap head bolts on my phils with some nice stainles bolts they now work a treat, the allen head fitting is very bad at high torque applications especially small sizes.

Good point, and it only took 38 posts to get there!

Long ride ahead and the chain-lines off and im almost thru the rear tyre

oh bugger.
Try the torx wrench thing lynx mentioned, I've made it work before.
or get a large flathead bit for your ratchet set + an adaptor.

See post #44

Get a HSS drill bit slightly larger than the diameter of the screw shaft ad drill into it until the head comes off. Pull the wheel out and take the rest of the screw out with a pair of pliars.

They are all screws,
This is a bolt

Chainy want me to ride to the rescue? (with the torx bit)

Not right now dude. Im shattered and will give this another go in the morning... Thanks for the offer though:-)
