Ok We have all had to deal with stripping allen head bolts befor and its no fun. SO heres what you do if your bolts are stripped or begining to strip and are stuck in your stem or whatever.

Tools:
Allen keys like these in both metric and standerd

or allen keys like this


Now say its a bolt in your stem that is stripped. Find the allen key that fits, now take it and go to the opposite set and get the next size up. So if its 6mm then get the metric size that is slighly bigger. Now use a rubber mallet or hammer to pound in that next size up, make sure its nice and tight. Now take out that stripped screw. I find its easier with the socket allen sets but it can be done with the other.

If this is in the wrond section please move it mods. Thanx and good luck with those stripped screws
