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!

Use a torx bit. Find one that just fits, then grab the next bigger bit. Hammer it in and pull the screw. Works everytime. A little heat is fine, your changing bushings anyway
