Screws rounding.

[dom-dogger]

When I was building my b44 I put possibly to much thread lock on the motor mount screw that holds it to the chassis and upper deck, I tried to undo them with a crap hex head and it rounded. So the question is how can I get it out?

Thanks Dommo

Either try a better hex or hold a soldering iron on the bolt head for a few seconds to soften the locktite then try again.

You could try using a metric driver that is slightly larger or the alternative is cut a groove with a dremel and use a flat blade screw driver to undo it.

YOu need to slot the head of the screw a dremel cutting disc so that you can undo the screw with a flat screwdriver. Once you've slotted the screws heat it up by holding a soldering iron on the head of the screw to kill the threadlock.

thanks guys I'll try this, how long will it take the soldering iron to soften the threadlock?

No more than 20-30 seconds or so. Watch out a little if there are plastic inserts in the aluminium. (like the bearing holders)

i did the same thing. whenever i took the car apart i never took the motor mount out lol

if it's only 1 side you can remove the deck and mount and turn it out. I had that when I got mine 2nd hand and the remains of the hex driver were still in 1 of the screws.

warming the screw up also advisable first.

I dont need to take the car apart, but just reassurance for when i do that it will be OK
