Screw extraction

[wsmb]

I got a screw stuck in my Currie axle. Snapped the head off a socket head cap screw. Took it to Home Depot and they didn't have anything to sell me small enough to take out a 3mm screw and then they tried helping me and couldn't get it out. Where can I get some help to remove this in so cal? I would be more then willing to pay whatever. Just wanna get it removed so I can still use the hole. Any small mom and pop hardware stores, or hobby stores, or even a friends garage? Someone and anyone who can help me. I'd appreciate it

I just did the same thing this week with a 1.5mm screw on a band new set of bead locks. I got lucky and there was just a micro amount of the screw sticking up and and I was able to cut a small slot in it and ease it out with a jewelers screw driver.

This might work for you...Metric Screw & Bolt Extractors with drill bits I think you would have better luck finding someone with a drill press to drill the pilot hole for you.

Good luck...
