Re: (ET) Wheel flange!



How about drilling and tapping new holes in a different place? 
Then grind or file the tips off the old set-screws and pretend they were never there...

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.

Subject: (ET) Wheel flange!

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.
