I was going over my machine today and decided to check my beadlocks since I had a tire leaking. Of course all were loose so I tightened them all up. I accidentally broke one of the bolts. Am I in big trouble? Any ideas on how to get it out?
Few options:
Remove the bead lock ring:
1 - you may be able to grab the end of broken bolt and back it out.
2 - get a LH drill bit, when you start drilling often the bit will grab the bolt and it will spin out.
3 - drill it and use an EZ out.
Always suggest using a torque wrench on those bolts, you can get a 1/4 drive one from Harbor Freight for $20. Also always use antisieze on steel bolts in aluminum.
Good luck.
I went to lowes today to get one of those reverse bits. They didn't have any at all. I was shocked. Guy didn't really know much about them. He told me to try an automotive place. That's were I found it. Oreillys. Punched a pilot hole, drilled a regular hole then used that reverse drill bit. Came right out easily. Got some of the bolts ordered.
Thanks for the tips guys. Helped a lot
Whoops type in Maverick Bead Lock Screw into the search bar and you'll see my post. Lost of good info, but go to McMaster Carr. They have exactly what you need.
Drill it and use an easy out. Takes all of 2 minutes.
