The bolt sits flush into the stem and is in there really tight so I don't really want to try and use an easy-out because it will probably just break off in the bolt. Any suggestions anyone? jmoney wrote: I was going to replace my forks and when I tried to loosen one of the allen bolts it stripped out real bad.

I am going to take it up to Lowes and ask them what I should do. If there is an allen wrench that is between 7/32 and 1/4 of an inch I am good to go but I can't find one. jmoney wrote: The threads in the stem aren't stripped, it is just the 2nd bolt that holds the stem tight onto the forks.
