[QUOTE="Groo, post: 402176, member: 287"] Ok, so this past weekend, I was doing some timely maintenance work on the bike... including changing the pumpkin and engine oil. Got the pumpkin taken care of, but when I went to loosen the fairing up near the oil drain, the screw with the inset hex head near the shift lever stipped... crap. Without taking that off, getting the oil filter off and replaced would be a mess.... So let's see... maybe I can grind a slot in the screw head and turn it with a screwdriver. Got half a slot, but can't cut the other side without cutting into the fairing using the wheel on my Dremel.... crap. Guess I'll go to the hardware store on Monday and get a screw extractor. Did that today at lunch... drilled a 7/64" pilot hole, got the screw extractor in there... a couple hits of the hammer to get it to bite... No problem. Start to turn it... won't move... a bit more force, and PING! the frickin screw extractor SNAPS OFF!!! SON-OF-A-BEEOTCH! Anybody got any bright ideas at this point? I figure I can take it somewhere that has welding capabilities, and they can maybe weld some bar stock to the bolt head... don't know who or how, but I guess that's an option if nothing else presents itself...
