Blaster stator bolts stripped how to get out?

[mattsteibler26]

I was trying to get my stator out and i managed to strip out the 2 phillips head bolts that hold it in totally round. How can i get these out ?

last time i stripped a bolt i just drilled it out

That's gonna be some work but doable ... I would try using a philips or flat head screw driver and carefully hammering it onto the head of the screw/bolt. Make sure your holding the screw driver straight/square or you'll continue to ruin the head even more. This happened to me with the bolt that holds the magneto on, I did exactly as I told you to do and got it off !

but hopefully you planned on splitting the cases, as drilling the heads off then when you split the cases you can grab the long shank with vise grips to remove them

or yea ive also pounded a flat head screw driver into it

no case splitting just want to replace the stator and get these stripped bolts out

Is the head still on screw? Use some vice grips.

They sell an impact screw driver kit that you hit with a hammer, its got like 5 different size tips you can use. I've had amazing success using them even on ROUNDED OUT heads, I just used the biggest size that would still fit in the rounded out screw head and keep a little tension on the bolt/screw in the direction that you want to go and whack the end of it with a hammer, it makes the slightest snapping motion in whichever direction your twisting it.

Heres a link to the tool,

I paid 18.99 for mine and I've used it more then the regular screw drivers I;ve purchased.

Those tools are pretty cool, they work good too.

Yes, impact screw driver to remove and then replace with stainless steel allen bolts.

I never really understood why Yamaha used phillips screws on the Blaster engine

cut a slot into it with a dremal and use a flat head but dont pound with hammer can mess it up even more
