Guest bundle of sticks Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) ok so i need to turn this little metal thing, and to do that you must insert an allen key (hex key), and then turn either left or right, well, the hole that the allen key goes into has worn out over time, and the allen key just spins inside the whole. i really want to turn this thing badly...anyone know of a fix? i know this thread is stupid but damnit i dont know what to do thanks in advance Edited January 6, 2010 by bundle of sticks Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/52186-the-worst-thread-ever/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ivan Lennovitz Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Look for a screwdriver that’s slightly too wide to go in diagonally and gently hammer it in a few times. Then try to turn the screwdriver, always giving pressure on the screw. As this will ruin the screw, you’ll want to get a new one.

This Your screw is probably damaged to begin with if the complementary allen key doent fit in it. You can try the same thing that Ivan suggested but with a slightly bigger allen key (try one size bigger than the current one) and gently hammer it a few times till the bigger allen key fits and loosen the screw slowly. Replace the screw if you dont want to go through the same hassle next time.

kokoon Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 you could also cut a slot into the screw's head with a small circular saw and then use a normal dash screwdriver to turn it. in any case, replace the screw with a new one after you get this one out! and next time use the allen key of the right size.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!
