So this happens to me a lot, it seems. I was taking the gas tank off a few weeks back with a socket wrench when the head of the bolt just snapped clean off! I've tried making a screwhead out of what's in that little shaft, lube, extreme head. No dice.
Now I can live with that one for now. The tank stays on just fine without it.
But just now I was trying to get the front sprocket cover off and started stripping heads.
I'm so *%*#$%(#@#$ tired of this. I've never once had a screw extractor do its job. I've had them break often, though.
How about those helicoil things? Would they be useful?
