kinda looks like the wrong size tool for the job...

either that or he used a drill to get it out! LOL!

Use ScrewOuts from Sears. $20 and indespensable.

sorry about that yes... where. and how on earth does that happen. ez outs are your best option now. work like a charm

 

[Johnny Candles]

It's the 5MM allen bolt on the left side panel. I stripped it by not paying attention while I was taking it out and really screwed it up. Now I'll have to try the EZ outs or just drill it out. I do have a replacement, thankfully.

 

[hammbone]

its ok man... **** happens you'll get it out just take your time

 

[DenBoe]

wasn't there someone that sells bolts and stuff on here? should get some replacements.

 

[TOMIMOTO]

Just get some needlenose pliars and grab the outside of the screw really freakin' hard and twist. Or use needle nose vice grips. Do they even make needle nose vice grips? They should.

Explain how this is Honda's fault? lol.. Ive never stripped an allen screw, infact if your using the right size key I dont even see how thats possible. i did however strip one of the plastic windscreen screws because the preious owner tightened it down too much.. but that was plastic..

honda uses metric man..... time to smash in a torx bit and get her out

They do!

Yeah I have a torx bit set and I'm going to try that. If not I'll drill it out.

 

[hammbone]

i don't think anyone said it was honda's fault. i replaced my windscreen bolts with metal screws of the allen head nature. lol

 

[nutz]

remember, lefty loosy, righty tighty......

 

[Guest]

don't drill. It's more trouble than it's worth. use the screwouts.

 

[acldillill]

Get a chissel and make a deep line into it and twist off with a flat head screwdriver.
