The bolt that holds my oil line on to my quad is stripped. It has a head that uses an 5mm alan wrench. By the way i just got my engine back from yoshi and this is the only thing thats holdng me up. PLeas help with some suggestions.

 

Hello,

Depending on your wallet either go to you nearest car shop and pick up tap and die set(very good investment if your into serious ATVing) or take the bolt to your nearest shop and the will fix the threads for you

 

Its not the threads it s the head of the bolt that is stripped. The part where you put the alan wrench is stripped

 

how did they manage to strip an alen one.usually those dont strip unless you use the wrong one. k well heres a few tricks i like to use a dremel and cut a slot in the head. use wd40 in the threads so it will come out easy and use a flat blade or a long peice of flat metal stick it in there and turn like a wrench. or you can get easy out from sears. the slot usually always works though

 

My old man took the bolt out with a chizel and a hammer. Can you Believe that!!!

 

You just got that motor back from yoshi, I'd wait and buy a new one tomorrow. I wouldn't want to mess with no oil going to a new motor!

 

Already have a new bolt in.

 

Hey

Good thing... Next time you might be able to use a very very thin cutting disk, cut the width of the head and use a flat head screwdriver
