ok i was rescrewing the screw into my shaft after i put tape on and i had to make a bigger hole for the shaft(its a crankshaft). then i put the screw in and it was too big! what should i do i dont think i could cut sum of it off cuz of the bend

[LoyolaMiddie878]

i don't really understand what you're saying...

what do you mean the screw is too big?

[ekajsk8er]

Are you saying the screw is too big? If so you could always get a smaller screw, or just tape the head onto the shaft (I would only recommend this a a last resort).

If the hole is too big for the screw, than I guess your only option is to tape the head on and pray it doesnt fly off on a shot or pass.

I think he means the screw is too long to screw in all the way, and if thats what you mean then i guess you can just cut down the screw so that it will fit.

or get a smaller screw...

[MACDADDY]

no the hole is too big and the screw wabbles and stuff in the hole and a bigger screw wont fit because of the hole in the head

I had the same problem. What I did was just put the screw in to keep the head in place, and then tape over it. Worked like a charm.

wow.....thats actually a idea. thx guys problem solved :worship:

[shoebag2000]

Just glad I could help. :grin:


And off topic, I love this smiley. :puke:

DUDE!! get a bigger screw!! and if its too big for the head drill a hole through the head. another laternative is to put the screw in and then tape around the hole so the screw doesnt come out.

get a smaller screw and drill it in on the other side of the shaft.

He has a carnkshaft so that's not an option.
