4 years later, you sir, saved my ass (and my headset). Thank you a ton!!!!
Your welcome, score!
another trick just separate the handlebar from the stem, then twist the stem anticlockwise so that the cap n the bolt will follow.
This trick saved me so much headache. Thank you so much
Thank you so much you saved my life thanks
@@Kid_Named_Finger_ ik this guy saved my life
Thank you so much!! This comment really saved me
Thanks a lot, I had the same problem but I found your video and it did really help thanks again.
Your so welcome, thanks for the mention.
Hi great video, I need some help please on removing a rounded off bolt on a Shimano desire FC-M590. I only have hand tools, the small Allen bolt is stuck on the smallest chain ring. Thank you!
Those are tricky without the right tools and some gung ho confidence. What needs to happen is for the flat head to be removed ultimately without compromising the chainring or hole if a priority. I would try to grind the head off carefully or just enough material to weaken the bolt. Then use a bladed chisel or sharpened flathead screwdriver and a hammer to smack the rest of it off. You may also be able to use a drill to remove most of the bolt head material. It's not an easy task. Or if you can get a hold of the correct size tool like in the video and be patient. Use safety glasses!
I also do live video consultation if needed. Email arthur@biketeacher.com Thanks.
What about if one of the safety nuts are the ones that are stripped?
Safety nut?, do you mean the threads in the stem? For that you may use a tap set. Like this? czcams.com/video/3qtsuQ1yQFQ/video.html
a tip for improving this tip..use a shop vac on the drill's shavings ... :-)
I can't remove my top cap bolt it is very stripped now
Mine too Lol. And i think its stuck in there very tight
Lil update. i managed to remove mine. what i did is i use Flat headed screwdriver and a hammer
try hammering its wall sides the (allen's) with flat headed screwdriver
when fits in the gap you made.
now you can try unscrewing it.
but before unscrewing it. loosen the stem bolts first unscrewing Top cap with a stem bolts tight wont work.
So basically you need to buy other tools lol
Ya, or old school it and hammer it
Yes another tool because even if you worked out your fingertips for a few decades you'd still be much better off with a tool don't be retarded
Its funny how i will never find a solution to my specific problem so my $500 bmx bike that i just got new parts for is unridable junk now fml
Sorry to hear that. That sucks.
It would be easier if you loosen the stem. Morever You are cheating , as no on has this kind of bottom cap design.
He said three or four times it's a specialized specific cap, so I'm going to say specialized use this on some of their bikes, so your " no one uses this design cap" comment is wrong.
