Stripped Screw

**INDY GS** · 02-08-2005, 09:25 AM

I am trying to move a pair of bindings forward on my DH skis, and have one toepiece screw that won't budge. I have tried some penetrating spray, that didn't work, and now the head of the screw is pretty well stripped out.
What is the best way to remove a stripped binder screw?

Thanks,

INDY

You can either be really careful and heat it up, using the biggest driver you have that will fit it... or drill it out, but that can potentially damage your ski/binding. Be careful. If you can drill off the head to get the binding off, you can fill the hole with epoxy and leave the body of the screw in there...

Use an easy out (can get them at any hardware store). If the screw isn’t easily accessible (like the front screws on a solly) then you’ll need to drill the head off first, and then use a smaller bit & an easy out to remove the rest.
