2018 959: Stripped Ferring Bolt Help

majprussell · Jul 27, 2020

Hi All, wondering if anyone knows the best way of removing these bolts or if using an extractor is the last option?

I've heard of a dremel cutting across the bolt to allow a screwdriver but i think the recessed nature might damage the ferring.

Ugh--such a pain in the butt.

(drill it out a little and) try a torx.

Ok, thanks.

I opted just to use ball end allen wrenches as not to scar up the fasteners.

edit....they make left hand drill bits. I would assume they are specific for this type of situation. a right hand bit will tighten it more.

Got it out. Had to use a screw extractor set. The key to success was making sure there is a pilot hole for the 3mm extractor to get a good bite on, the rest was pretty simple. No damage.

ball ends are the bomb.
