Help needed dex410
Ok after finishing my build I noticed that the middle shaft from the rear would not turn properly
It's was bloody thread lock Tried boiling water nope So then heated it up on a flame this has worked. But now I can not get the grub screw out tried drilling still no luck also tried to push the pin out no luck there either. I need to get what's left of the grub screw out some how as I don't want it to be like this for racing. Thanks leon

Doe's sound like abit of a mess if you've tryed drilling the grub screw there will be not alot left of the grub screw to get the allen driver in ?
I think the only thing you can do is keep drilling it till your able to get the pin out then replace the barrel , grub screw and pin with new ones The Durango threadlock is VERY stong stuff you only need a very small amount on I would also take all the other driveshafts out and make sure you have'nt done it to the others aswell Paul |

If you drill the grub screw with a drill that is less than 2.5mm diameter you shouldn't damage the thread, as long as you keep it centered. Then the bits that are left should come off with a blade or something like that.

Been there, done that. But i managed to get the grub screw out after heating the threadlock with a lighter. Since then I've only used blue threadlock and it's strong enough imo.

If you use Acetone to remove tyres from wheels, try soaking the offending CVD in the acetone for a couple of hours and that should start to dissolve the threadlock.
Personally I would have done this before attacking it with a drill but I have only just seen the thread. sorry

Yep just seen this too...
Failing acetone, nail polish/varnish remover should do the trick if you are ever in the same situation again. Mike P. |
