F#$K! Stripped T-Nuts. Suggestions to get it out.

And if worst comes to worst, cut the sub out with a jigsaw. Its cheaper to fix an enclosure than a sub...

Well knowing my f'n luck nothing EVER turns out right. I decided to seal up my aeroports cause they were leaking air. So I took the sub out to get to the box easier. I am using Allen Head nuts with T-Nuts. So I was screwing the sub back on and I guess the t-nuts came off from the inside. Tried everything to unscrew and I notice the T-Nut stripped through the wood and is just spinning. I tried just about everything and I cannot get the 1 screw that's stuck off. Not only that while taking one side out and trying to yank the sub up. It kept hitting my aeroport and knocked half of it off. So great. I was going to decide to leave that screw like that for now and just put the sub back on but now I can't since one of my aeroport came apart and I cannot get to it unless I pull the sub out. Anyone have any ideas without f'n **** up?

i told you to epoxy them in place, remember?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

if all else fails, cut a new hole in the front to get the sub out

attach a second baffle.

retry

that would work....

or you can dremel the bolt head in half, break it, and dremel the other half down....

OR you can dremel it down

drill out the tnut with a drill bit. then you can get it out and have access to whatever you need to

Just wondering would any of these be of any help on for the job.

I know the cost of these are a little high so you might want to check a local hardware store to see if they have a close thing to these.

A lot of crazy ideas. Just within a few hours I get 3 pages. I end up taking it to a friends house and he helped me get the screw/nut off. The nut came up a LITTLE bit. Used a dremel and grinded the entire head off the allen screw and knocked it straight down. It seems like the T-Nut ate up an entire piece of wood and kept spinning. I might have over-torqued it a few times and it caused it to rip the mdf up and spun with it. Thanks for the suggesitons/crazy idea guys.

You sure did. I think i'm going to go with some different t-nuts. Cause this was NOT fun. Finally got everything fixed and my port glued back on.

Why didnt you just do this: Get a screwdriver underneath the sub next to the bolt, pry up to keep tension on it, and slowly back the screw out?

I hope a dingo rips your balls off so you cannot reproduce.
