I installed some HD helmet locks on the crash bars last year. Now I need to move them and realized they used those "one-way" head screws (the heads have those flanged heads you cant take-off with a screwdriver).

I'd swear there was a way to get them off without drilling (my memory is failing me). How do I remove/loosen them? Feeling lame for asking, but ??

Thanks!

 

There is a special tool for those, which you need to remove them properly.

 

+1 on the removal tool

 

Here's info from Google (just typed in one way security screw tool):

You might be Screwed.................LOL...just kidding couldn't help myself

 

I had my engine gaurd powder coated and had to remove my helmet lock. I used a set of needle nose vise grip's, but I think even a small regular set would also do the job. Afterwerd's I reinstalled.

 

I got an entire security bit kit @ harbor freight

 

Got this kit as well. Think it was only around 10$

 

We repair security vaults that have them and we just crosscut with dremel cutting wheel and unscrew with a flathead screwdriver. Do about 20 a day.

 

Here is a link to alternate methods of removing security screws.
