Status: offline 		The grub screw on the collar for my lower suspension arms head has been messed up, the hex driver just keeps spinning(no grip, the hole is more round than hexagonical anymore) I need to get the grub screw out so i can replace it, i would rather not replace the whole collar as they are hard to get here, please give advice on how to remove it.

Thanks, please help.

if you got a dremmel or a small hacksaw u can cut a line in the top ov it and screw it out with a flat head screw driver, also ive heard some ppl glueing a screw driver to it and screwing it out that way but i dont think that would work on a tight screw.

good luck

Status: offline 		you could try this: take a small hex key (use a old junky one so you don't wreak a good one), put a dab of jb weild on the tip then place it in the striped screw. once it drys turn it out! I'm not sure if it will work but its worth a try.

Status: offline 		thx for the replies but i managed to get it out without having to get to dirty, I used someones 1/16 size hudy driver instead of the 1.5 mm hex key and it came straight out :P.

This coming from a person who is still using a 1.5 mm key.
