Rounded head

(1/4) > >>

Carb17:
Hi guys , I've hit my first hurdle which I'm sure will not be my last , when trying to remove the front wheel I tried to unscrew the speedometer which already had a slightly rounded head and made it worse . Any tips on how to remove the screw and also where I could get a new one would be great thank you

Have you tried an impact driver? A really useful part of any toolkit when dismantling bikes.

Krzychu:
Hi there, You can look up on flebay for bolt removing kit. They are not all that expensive and You have a good chance You will need to use it few more times in the future 😉

ive used either a small chisel or a screwdriver to remove these. persistent tapping rather than a good wallop. place your chisel as close to the edge as possible and work your way round.

Drill a small hole in the center of the cross about 8mm deep and
get a good  quality torx bit slightly larger than the hole tap it in and undo with a
small socket.
