In about 5 minutes, my set screw problem was solved.
Not even I could have predicted it would have been as easy as it was.
The non drive side set screw came out easily. The drive side needed a bit more work.
I drilled a hole in it with a sharp, new TiNi coated bit, used plenty of cutting fluid, got the Easy Out in place, and presto! The stripped screw backed right out with minimal fuss.
When originally putting the bike together, I used a ton of Ti antiseize compound, to which I attribute the ease of this operation.
I used 2 tons when I put the new screws in…just in case…

Awesome! Isn’t it great when things go as they are supposed to?
Mmmm…..anti-seize! Love that stuff. It’s always so much fun to try and wash off your hands if you happen to get some on ya.

That stuff gets everywhere!
I have so far cleaned it off of 3 other bikes, the battery to my drill, me, my tool bench, 4 or 5 tools I didnt even use for the job.
An I just found some more on my arm…
