jen90csw Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi all, apologies in advance if already covered. Was greasing the old nipples at the weekend and noticed one has sheered off leaving a small amount of thread in the hole, is it poss to remove this so i can replace the offending item and if so how? Many thanks in anticipation. Jen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Gently tap a file tang into the niple and unscrew the file. Hopefully the end of the nipplw will come out. A spall cross headed screwdriver sometimes works as well. HTH mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Same as what Mike said but with an allen key / torx bit, or indeed screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
