Title: Seat to Back Fender Hex Screw - Stripped Post by Igggy on 07/11/13 at 10:20:29 I stripped the hex out of the screw head. No wonder, they are installed with lock-tight. Any recommendations for getting it out without making matters worse?

Title: Re: Seat to Back Fender Hex Screw - Stripped Post by Dave on 07/11/13 at 10:49:25 If you are talking about the small screw at the center of the seat that fastens the rear of the seat to the fender.....they can get really tight. The only thing you can do is: Try cutting a straight slot across the screw and use a large flat blade screwdriver. ....or...... Drill off the head with the next size drill that you have above 1/4" and hope with the tension is taken off and you can then just thread the screw stub out easily.  I think the screw may be stainless and it is easy to accidently round out the hex.

Sometimes that will grab it good enough to get it out. If the torx bit is hard enough it'll work kinda like an eze-out.
