Re: (ET) Wheel flange!



An Easy-out is made of hardened steel with a taper twist drill screw....made to extract broken bolts as it grabs harder when turned for removal.
Wouldn't think they would have used 2 Allen screws back to back.  Drilling and re-tapping is not a hard job.

What is an Easy-out?  My understanding is that there are two allens back to back, so can’t turn them in.

Can you turn them in to come out the ID?

How about an "Easy-out" ?

You may have to drill them out using a slightly smaller diameter drill and then an Easy-out or drill and re-tap the hole.

Hi ETers,

 

I have a loose wheel flange on an E-20 tractor that walks in-an-out on the axel.  I have tried everything that I could think of to loosen the allen screws, in order to remove the flange.  The screws won't budge and I am afraid of rounding the heads.  I managed to pull the flange off the axel with a wheel flange remover tool, but ended up scoring the axel in the process.  I have the flange off, but still am at a lose on backing the allens out.  I have tried a torch to the flange, but still have the screws bound tight.  Anybody have another method of attack for this?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob K.
