It's out?That was my exact thought last night as I smashed the torx bit into the bolt. Thank god this isn't carbon, smash, thank god this isn't carbon, smash. Really validated my life long decision to stay with metal.

Nope came out a few mm then just started spinning in place. Got a few new suggestions to try on tonight's episode of 'this fing bolt'It's out?
This is better than reality TV, screw the bachelor bring on Litenbror - when are you going to start live streaming this shiz? & do you have a PR guy yet..Alright so
Drive in torx bit with big hammer, check. Heat with hairdryer till it's to hot to touch, check.
Start turning, check.
Repeat because it still so tight I only get a couple of tiny movements before head threads, fing CHECK.
After a couple of goes I now have the bolt part way out (3mm or so) but we now have our next installment in fuck this bolt and the bike it came in on.
The bolt is now just spinning in place after coming out maybe 3 turns. Gone from stripped bolt head to stripped thread I think. Any ideas on getting a bolt out that doesn't wind out when you only have a few mm of bolt head to work with?
You definitely need assistance now, one person to pull and the other push. Could be a fun activity for two people.Nope came out a few mm then just started spinning in place. Got a few new suggestions to try on tonight's episode of 'this fing bolt'
This!when are you going to start live streaming this shiz? & do you have a PR guy yet..
I'll set the web cam up in the garage, it'll be like watching a live stream of a monkey in the zoo with a hammer and expensive bike parts. Now we need a title I'm thinking 'Big monkey says more hammer'This is better than reality TV, screw the bachelor bring on Litenbror - when are you going to start live streaming this shiz? & do you have a PR guy yet..
This is a group activity I can get into, one puts it in and pushes while the other twisted on the other end till you get a nut off...You definitely need assistance now, one person to pull and the other push. Could be a fun activity for two people.
I'm expecting a new bike in PYR.I'm looking forward to the thread repair phase with a Heli-Coil.
I like it but you forgot hammer monkey, I'm leaning towards hammer time I have a source with heaps of happy pants I can feature a different pair each episode.First off the showntitle isn't catchy enough. It needs to be shorter. I say:
Now to the issue at hand, how good are you with an angle grinder? I reckon it's time to slide a grinding disc (or hack saw if you're a pussy) through the bolt, between the shock eyelet and the frame tab.
- Monkey Hammer
- More Hammer
- Hammer Time
Fortunately it's off the bike and the shock and small bit of linkage are on the work bench, this would have been impossible if it was still on the bike.Wow - this has turned into a clusterfuck. Whatever caused this, it’s a bad design or choice of materials.
Can you undo the other end of the linkage and other end of the shock to get the combined shock and linkage off the bike?
Might free you up to lay in on a bench with a cutout under the bolthead then push the bolt through from the other side with much hammer?
This has the added bonus of not killing your frame when you’re tired, angry and the hammer deflects and smashes into something else...
