ARG! Working on someones side shifter, replacing old bushings. Or trying to. When I went to back out the conical screw on the forward most coupling knuckle, the damned allen screw rounded out. NOW how do I get the sucker out? An easy out? If I just try to drill it, I do not think I can get in far enough to get the cone portion out. HELP!

Is there any part of the cone screw sticking out and over that you can get a vice grip on? The screw can get tight on installation if not lined up right. I ended up drilling out mine and needing a whole new connector rod. I may have one if you want to come by.... not sure about a spare mirror... |

Maybe some heat too to unstick things. |

Probably you know, but careful with the heat, so the bushings don't melt. I have better luck with a 3/8ths drive allen, as I can start the next size up, and hammer it in, and the hammer banging will loosen the threads. If not, drill a little bit thru, and hammer on the smallest easy out to get her out. A lot of fuching around for a simple move, I know!
