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!

I like Curt's suggestion. Finally, if other ways fail, you can try and EZ-Out, which is particularly effective if attached to a 20V Impact Driver. The impacts will help loosen it up, the driver itself will give you more leverage to push into the screw and the EZ-Out will dig more and more into what's left of the inside of the cone screw as you bear down on it.

Both excellent tips. Now what is the trick for getting that rod pressed out of the shift shaft? I got it partially pushed out with a combo of sockets and C-clamp, but cannot move it the last few millimeters. Well, about a cm to be exact. |
