Help removing a stripped screw in a markers body

JUGGERNAUT69 · 03-24-2013, 07:25 PM

Hi guys,,,,does anybody knows here on the nation that removes stripped screw? I stripped the two little front screw in my Vanguard Demon, I was dissembling the marker, preparing it to get it anodize and I stripped the two little front screw in the body. Thanks

Rubber band plus same size key? Put the band over the screw, push in, and unscrew with your hex key. This has worked for me in the past, but I can't promise it will work for you.

Send it to Stephen, I heard he is really good at this....Lol

I can guide you through it if you want just let me know.

A rubber band will not work, but a torx bit that is ground down to fit might. I have used them before on lightly stripped screws.

I say a rubber band will not work because I can say with relative certainty that these are red loctited in.

screw extractor?

Try making a notch in the screw with a deburring bit so you can use a flat head screwdriver to pop it out. Worked for me on a gauge plug, but it wasn't locktited in.

Tried that it, didn't work the screw is solid the extractor drill bit just kept spinning and doing more damage on the screws.
