Bolt on R9 Driver (FCT)

[teckee7]

I have a R9 driver and the bolt that attaches the head to the shaft is damaged and I cant get it off with the wrench. Has anyone had this problem before? Any ideas on how to get the bolt off?

And yes I bought it from Ebay...

Is it stripped ? or just stuck ? Try some WD-40 ?

Is the head of the bolt damaged or the thread?

It's the head of the bolt that is 'stripped'/'burred' and the wrench just cant get a grip to loosen the bolt. I tried WD40 and still no luck. And I am turning it anti-clockwise to remove it.

Get an easyout from the hardware. You will need to replace the bolt after.

As Pete says you will need a screw extractor.

I think that the screw extractor costs aorund $50 to $80 - checked on some other websites. Anybody have a set of these already and could help out, I just dont want to be spending that kind of money for a once off affair.
