i have some saint cranks but the pinch bolts on the non drive side are stripped how should i get these out? my friend has an extra non drive side hone that will fit onto the spindel.... if i cant get the stripped pinch bolts out would it be a bad idea to use the hone on the other side?
if this all doesnt work out whats a pair of cranks that are nice for dirt jump and racing singlespeed?
thanks
You will most likely need to Easy Out these bolts. You're just going to have to find a small enough drill bit and easy out bit to get this out. But if you're not comfortable with it, you should probably take it to your LBS so you don't ruin your crank arm.
there are tools for that situation. they are kinda like reverse threaded drill bits, so that they go in, the get stuck and hopefully allow you to thread out the stripped bolt. go to a hardware store and give it a shot. thats the only way i can think of getting it out.
