So got my new grips and wanted to change them out this weekend. Got the Top Torx screw out on the left side but the bottom one isn't moving and I think is striped from the PO. Anyone had to remove a strip Torx screw before? I was thinking of trying a rubber band with the bit to see it that worked but if not maybe slice a slot in the bit for a screw driver?

Though

Suggestion

I swear every time I work on this bike there is always a screw or bolt that is/was strip by the PO.

 

Vise grips would work. Or use a punch and a hammer and go around it until it frees up. You need a new screw anyway so just get that bastard out of there.

 

Left handed drill bit set for bolt removal. Best tools I ever purchased.

 

Are you sure your using the right size torx bit or screw driver ? If you think it is, then take a pair of vice grips( if it is a bit ) or if it is a screwdriver and hit it on the torx screw with a hammer. It may reform the torx screw head enough that it will come out. If not, then like previously mentioned, get the proper size L/H drill bit.

 

I can't remember if it was t-25 or t-27, but I was able to bust one loose on a dodge durango throttle body with just a flat bladed screwdriver when a sensor died and I had no tools with me.

 

T-25 I got it out last night with a easy out. Other side had no issues.

now to get the grips on lol
