Looking for suggestion dealing with a seized and stripped out fill / drain screw on a front hub?

Also wondering about creative work arounds to use on temporary basis. Seems like you can fill the cap with fluid then kind of quickly flip it up/on and not lose much fluid in process. Have also thought about raising that side up (kind of like partially tipping atv on side), pouring fluid in, replaing cap, then setting it back down?

Sugeestions?

 

This set is worth it's price,plus you can just buy individual ones from most hardware, auto stores. You need one for a 5/16" allen head screw. Just drives in and locks,loosens counter clockwise. BikeMaster Power Fastener Screw Extractor Set (1/4 Inch Hex Drive)(15-Piece) | CruiserCustomizing Just heat the area up with a propane torch and it should come out easy. You can find replacement allen head set screws with the magnet also at a lot of good hardware/auto dealers if you don't have a dealer nearby. You can drain/fill your way,but gets old quick having to do this.

 

thanks!

is that set aka 'easy out' or is are they something different?

 

A whole lot better than any "ez out" that I've found. I still have my Snap on set that I used quite often. Just tap in the right size with a hammer and it grips tighter the more you turn it counter clockwise.I gave up on most ez outs years ago as they didn't work as well.
