GAS KEY

Gas key was staked so good that I stripped out the hex screws trying to get them out.

Any suggestions on how to get them out now.

Do you have a grinder? Grind them off until you are below the bolt head.

If you have a dremel, using a small red cut off wheel. Cut a slot through the hex head. Use a flat head screw driver to remove the hex screw.

Not sure what type of hex you are using but I think that you’ll find using the Magna-Tip sets from Brownells work better. You may also want to consider that some manufacturers have been known to use Rocksett or other high temp thread locker as well. I would try and heat the screws and see what happens.
