If the bolt is stripped, you can try using a different tool or method to remove it, such as using a screw extractor or tapping a larger size bolt into the stripped hole. If these methods don't work, you may need to seek professional help to remove the stripped bolt.
To remove a stripped Allen bolt using an extractor, first drill a small hole into the center of the bolt. Then insert the extractor into the hole and turn it counterclockwise to grip the bolt. Use a wrench to turn the extractor and remove the bolt.
When the belt tensioner fails, you have to stop almost immediately or the engine will overheat and suffer serious damage or destruction. I am assuming that the bolt itself is not stripped; the receiving mounting hole in the engine is stripped. And I am pretty sure that the mounting area is aluminum. Therefore, it should be fairly easy to tap the hole for an over-sized bolt. Select a tap that is just larger than the stripped bolt. I would not recommend the JB weld since if it fails, you are stuck without warning. Best of luck!
To fix a stripped screw hole, you can use a larger screw, fill the hole with wood glue and toothpicks, or use a screw repair kit.
To repair a stripped screw hole in wood, you can fill the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel, then re-drill a pilot hole and insert a new screw. Alternatively, you can use a larger screw or a screw anchor to secure the wood.
To effectively remove a stripped allen bolt, use a tool called a screw extractor. First, drill a small hole into the center of the bolt. Then, insert the screw extractor into the hole and turn it counterclockwise to grip the bolt. Finally, use a wrench to turn the extractor and remove the bolt.
You can find a door hinge stripped screw hole repair kit at most hardware stores or online retailers specializing in home improvement products.
To rethread a stripped or damaged bolt hole, you can use a tap and die set. First, select the appropriate tap size for the bolt hole. Then, carefully thread the tap into the hole in a clockwise direction to create new threads. Be sure to use lubricant to make the process easier. Once the new threads are formed, you can test the fit with a bolt to ensure it is secure.
To repair a stripped wood screw hole, you can fill it with wood filler or toothpicks and wood glue, then reinsert the screw. Alternatively, you can use a larger screw or a screw anchor for a more secure hold.
If the bolt head is stripped, you can try using a rubber band or a specialized tool like a bolt extractor to remove it. If those methods don't work, you may need to drill out the bolt and re-tap the hole. It's important to be careful and patient when dealing with stripped bolts to avoid causing further damage.
If you mean the head of the bolt is stripped, there is a tool called a back out. You employ it by drilling the right size hole in the top of the bolt, inserting the backout. The backout, when turned, will grip the bolt inside the hole sufficiently to turn it. Also drilling a hole through the bold will take the pressue off the threads of the bolt and with a paid of vice grips you may be able to turn it. I'd try the backout, it's nearly fool proof.
If a bolt is stripped on the windshield wiper on a 1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon, there are two options. A person can go to a salvage yard and purchase new wipers for the vehicle, or they can have the bolt hole tapped for a larger bolt.
