I fear to broke the thread if I drill inside it... Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 maybe with a diamond ball cutter from the outside of the lug-horn. the diamond ball cutter must have a smaller diameter than the thread. rolli Hi mates, Unfortunately, I have broken the tip of the strap screw inside the thread of the case (( How can I remove it?

cskent69 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Well - good luck my friend. I had this happen to me - and I say "hey - I will just drill it out and use the springbar instead of screws." It totally did not work. The reason - is that the screw potentially has a different hardness than the case - and it is hard to keep the damn thing straight. In the end - I had to toss the case. Very sad. I was [censored].
