You may need to cut into the aluminum to get a good grip on it. Not enough to hurt it structually. You could say it happened in a crash so it would be like a scar and, therefore, cool.

True. I do need to find some different ball stud screws....I shear one a week at least (they are associated). I saw that lunsford sells Ti ones, but they are $8 a pair!


I will spank a nitro any day...guaranteed. :)

Well, this is actually the first time I've sheared one in a castor block. Nine times out of ten, I sear one in the front shock tower.

I got it out. I did the notch trick with my trusty dremel. Aside from the nick in the castor block now, it worked like a charm.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of the notch trick before...I've had to do it before also. Thanks what's-nitro for reminding me.
