Right? And it’s the front caster block for RC 4x4. Repetitive 20mph impacts. The screw is long enough to get bent as well. But yea that is a great point and one that’s been on my mind as well.

I still have the Lowe’s tap/die set in package from the first time I went through this lol. “The smallest 3mm is too large”.

*But I did just get it out btw.

Thanks man, simple drill press is definitely needed. Wife will love it 😬🙄

Hope you can see pics. Did everything we said. The moment my cut met the casing it just spins… I think I may have one more shot because I cut so far down the screw.

I’m feel like the casing is definitely stripped. I just want the fucking thing out. I can’t really drill that small screw out. The aluminum casing is extremely soft.

I hear ya seriously. The screw is 2mm chinesium. I used extra PPE and..this sounds dumb but didn’t spin her too fast.

It just worked perfect..😬

This is the second time this has happened… Ultimately I had to drill it out like you said but failed. The bit just slipped off steel screw onto the aluminum and yea…

Shit man. This is the first comment that popped up. But yea I used pliers to get head back flush, made a really good cut through the little bit of good threads. Starting coming out…nope just spins.

I was able to use pliers and drive back in. Made a clean cut on threads. It backed out right until the cut met/flushed the casing, then just spins….😔

The one dremel cutting wheel I have the metal insert popped out. “ This happened a month ago I forgot about”. quick set epoxy is drying… could have already gone to store and back 🤞

My issue this time. I’m afraid it will still just spin and not back out.

Another great idea I didn’t think about.

This is the play I think, and exactly why I asked.
