|  Stripped Grub Screw
Accidentally stripped a grub screw on my drive shaft and cant figure out how to get it out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Kenneth |

That's a bummer. Ive always had great luck using a torx bit in place of the hex driver to get out stripped ones. It will depend on how badly its stripped too. Depending on the size of the grub try a t10or t15 bit.... --Dan |

Metal drive shaft? First try a pen torch. Heat the surrounding material and then do what sickcivic95 advised you to do. The heat will also burn away any remaining threadlock and it will come out easily.  |

Depending on what you have for "meat" left of the screw you can take a flathead precision screwdriver and a hammer and put a slit across the top and back it out that way or a dremel and do the same thing with a cutoff wheel
