*Attention* there is now a much better and more permanent solution using _stainless steel threaded inserts._
I offer this service if you want to mail me your rails. (I can repair your rails and ship them out by the very next day)
Otherwise you can find a local repair shop on StokeLifeService.com that can do this for you as well.
Are you referring to time serts?
Can we get tutorial on this?
just to let everyone know if you’re still watching this video. this link for the helicoil repair kit DOES NOT WORK FOR PINT/PINT X. i learned the hard way.
Top notch video! No bs, just what you need to know. Thanks!
Great video, no stupid intro, you just get right into it. Love it!
Thank you so much for making this video!
Thanks for the video! I may have a couple stripped holes 2 float plate screws fell out and had to order more. I will definitely use this if they are!
Amazing. I didn't know it was possible. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I posted to the OW subreddit asking what to do about stripped threads and people pointed me here. Got the tools and just did the repair, worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot homie. Three days ago my onewheel was out of commission and now it's gucci.
Super helpful man! Thank you for this video, my onewheel pint has two stripped holes on the front foot pad and then right under it on the fender screw hole. And I was so upset thinking it was unfixable cause I’m not very good with this type of stuff on how to fix it. But that is so much more simpler than I thought! Great video, and great help 👍🏻
Nice. My footplate screw has been stripped for ages, even has the helicoil, true laziness lol. Thought I'd check a video, might encourage me to get on with it finally lol
Got my stuff coming in and will be using this for my board! Thanks for the great vid
Glad I could help 👊
Just what I was looking for :)
Many thanks!
Thank you!!!
Thx for the video.
Yo this is a great tutorial!!!
Thank you for the video! On the first day I got my pint I smashed it on my front steps and somehow stripped two holes. I used your affiliate link to hook a brotha up.
Ugh..that sucks! I take it you got it repaired though?
Big thanks for this. My screws are stripped in the exact same spot. I am buying you a drink when I see you at Float Life Fest 4!
Glad I could help, and I'll be looking forward to a random drink 😅😅😅
Got mine fixed today. Thanks for the video, you made it look so easy. #shenanigansquad
Just used this to fix my GT! So far so good!
How’d it hold up?
This is great, what size tap do you use before the helicoils? Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this.. to repair what size tap for the rest footpad screw holes are needed?.
Thank you!
😉👌
Thanks but I’m in Australia so I am fine to just use the helicoil kit I just wanted to make sure that it would fit a pint
Can I use this method to repair missing inserts in the wood on the bottom of the front foot pad?
Does anyone know if this will be the same helicoil kit needed for a pint?
I have a Onewheel pint. Is the screw size or anything different on the pint and if so could you put the link to a kit that would work on a pint below?
hi, is this the same size for the fender/fender delete screws on the pint?
Will this work for Pint X?
Would they hold up for flight fins?
Do the original FM provided screws fit back in with the new helicoil? I'm riding a GT and never owned an XR so not sure if they are all 4mm or 10-32" sizes. Anyone know off hand?
Great video @WheelWithMe
My understanding is that all early boards were SAE and they have since gone to metric for the GT platform. So I was told in the VESC discord.
I have a stripped screw on the back bumper spinning in place, the one holding my battery. Plastic housing/molding..... any suggestions? Tried applying upward pressure. No avail. 4209 and preventing me from changing bumpers, battery upgrade, etc
This was super helpful! I'm assuming the helicoils stronger than the a aluminum frame. Would it be a horrible idea to just spend the time rethreading the whole board? That way you won't have to worry about stripped threads in the future? I already have two stripped fender threads so this was perfect for me! Thanks!!!
They are definitely stronger than the stock aluminum threads on the rails, so that wouldn't be a bad idea at all. You could probably skip doing it to the brass inserts that are in the control module though. If those were stripped, i would just replace the brass inserts themselves.
Wheel With Me how would you replace the brass
So I have two screws striped on my rear fender holes will this work on the pint I can't get an answer anywhere on the size of screws for the pint or how to fix it
Did you ever have any luck? my two back Pint fender screws wont screw in either - but odd, when I take the fender off and screw into the hole it seems to hold just fine. No idea.
Do u think putting some lock tight on the helicoil would be a good idea? To help keep it from popping out. Also how bad is it if I punched thought the waterproof seal? Great video been trying to figure out how I wanted to retread by board
I wouldn't really worry about popping through the seal because on newer boards they have a much better rubber seal than the old foam one on my board. However you could always just squirt a little silicone in the hole like you do when using a waterproof Badger Wheel kit.
As for the loctite, I probably wouldn't do it because you might want to replace the helicoils down the line. Eventually the extra bit that hangs down (if you don't cut them to the right size) starts to droop and catch.
Nowadays I actually use stainless steel inserts. I have a repair shop and I offer that service. There are actually a ton of repair shops across the country that do it as well.
I assume this works on the underside as well if you have a stripped screw where the float plates go?
Yup, it'll work anywhere but where the brass inserts are.
Are the screw and hole the same size as the pint? You don't need to drill out the hole first? Great video.
I'm actually not sure because I've never opened up a Pint unfortunately
Yo yo! I hope you still answer :) my front bottom left bang bumper screw is not tightening and I’m noticing that it can possibly be stripped as well. Do I do the same thing demonstrated in the video or do I need to remove the controller?
Yeah you do the same thing
WARNING! If you have a pint or PintX, Do Not Buy the 10-32 helicoil kit. 10-32 is too big, buy 8-32 instead.
Im trying to do this the the screw right next to the one in this video and its not catching the hole. I assume this screw is a little smaller? Has anyone drilled out new bigger holes, then threaded them?
All of the screws for the fender, footpads, bumpers, are all the same diameter, just different lengths. You probably just need to apply more pressure.
thanks bro. is it possible to strip the threads again after doing this? and if so, can you rethread it again?
So, i've never stripped a Helicoil but i have ripped them out because i didn't install it 100% properly. Having said that, there is a new method for upgrading your threads. You can now get stainless steel inserts installed and they look so clean and should, in theory, never strip. If you go to StokeLifeService.com you can find a local repair shop and get it done. (Otherwise i offer the service as well but it would involve mailing me your rails)
Do you know if the screw size is the same for the pint footpad?
Unfortunately I don't own a Pint so I'm not sure.. you're best bet would be to leave this comment in the OneWheel Owners Group on Facebook.
By the way you are using the helicoil inserter a little incorrectly. I mean I guess if it works for you its fine, but the helicoil is supposed to be inserted into the gap in the inserter and screwed through the end of the tool. Basically like a funnel to get the helicoil compressed and aligned correctly.
Yeah, I did that the first few time and the coil always came unwound and loose instead of staying a tight coil 🤔 So I just do it this way and keep pressure on it to compact the coil.
Say the repair with the heli-coil strips as well at a later date. Can you do this same repair again?
Yes, i've had to replace a helicoil before
So my front right float plate screw is stripped, thats the one that goes into the controller. There’s no way of fixing that one without removing the controller correct!?
Yeah you have to remove the controller, but that is super easy. Ignore the borderline illegal warranty void stickers, they won't actually void your warranty.
But those brass inserts are difficult to replace and require a special tool for a soldering iron. I've actually never tried to put a helicoil in one of them because the brass insert can spin freely very easily.
How can I get a screw out of that blue rail that is just spinning in place?
I have the same problem
Ugh...CZcams put this in my spam folder. I hope you got this problem fixed by now lol
Usually you can just drill out the screw with the included Helicoil drill bit. However if the screw is going into one of the brass threads then that means the brass thread has come unglued. I've had this problem and i cut off the head to the screw to get my board apart, then i was able to carefully pull out the brass thread, and epoxy/super glue it back in place.
My brass threads which hold my float plates on are stripped, how would i fix that?
Exactly which threads are you referring to? Front or rear footpad?
Wheel With Me The front screws on the bottom of the board under the front footpad which hold the bumpers on. You replace the old screws with longer ones when you put floatplates on.
@@codypursifull8427 Hello....this has happened to me as well. Were you able to remedy it? I had a worse case scenario and actually had to rip the brass thread out by cutting away the plastic around it.
How has this held up?
Excellent
Is this the same size as the fender holes in the XR?
This is an XR that I'm working on. So yeah, the helicoils are the same size as the stock screws.
Wheel With Me alright, I wasn’t sure if the footpads were the same size as the screws in the middle, where the fender goes. Thank you.
All the screws in the footpads, bumpers, fender, are all the same _diameter_ just different lengths.
