Looking for a BB creak, probably found it.

Rounded off non driveside crank bolt. XTR arm on Hope BB.

I don’t actually have to get it out the now but when i do, drill & hacksaw jobbie or a less savage solution?

I blame Pedros.

What model xtr?

XT M760

Not XTR.

Can’t spell.

You can try tightening the working one more(replace it first if it looks like it’s going to round off too!!) which will make the other one easier to remove. If you haven’t totally wrecked the head, it may well just unscrew.

If that fails, undo the other one and the crank may just slide off anyway. If not, try continuing to tighten the stripped one until its got no purchase, and then attempt to slide crank off.

(I’m assuming the thread is stripped and head is OK?)

Ah, no Spooky. Rounded head, fine thread I presume.

The man in the shop put it on very, very, very tight.

Loosened the other one right out, stick as stuck as a stuck thing.

Not a disaster. . . .yet. 😛
