I have a problem

On my 2014 on one of the bed accessory rails, I have a stripped torx screw. I’ve applied some WD40 and need some ideas as to how to remove it. Any thoughts??

 

Ease out or cut a straight notch in it with a dremel and then use a flat head screw driver to remove.

 

Great idea!!

 

Get a grinder, cut a slot in it and use a flat head screwdriver.

 

Yall beat me to it

 

Easy out.

 

Good luck, hope you get it squared away

 

What a great site this is! I have to say, always helpful people when you need them. I really appreciate it everyone!!

 

Drill it out.

 

I agree

 

Agree with above suggestions but disagree with you using wd40,which is not a penetrant. Best is homemade 50/50 mix of transmission oil / acetone. Kroil oil,liquid wrench,then PB blaster in that order.

 

Try not to to destroy it, you won't find another in the hardware store.

 

Was I the only one that got this? General leg slapper with this one.

Drill the center of it out and use needle nose pliers to pop it out.

 

Its already destroyed

 

exact problem when i pulled mine. Angle grinder cut a slot on it, and then used flathead. No problems!

 

needle nose vise grip works also.

 

Easy out success!!!! Couldn’t have done it without y’alls help.

Thanks sooooooo very much!
